PURPOSE: The Fun Arts Festival is a discipleship tool of the Oklahoma Children’s Ministries department of the Assemblies of God. It was designed to allow an opportunity for children to discover, develop, and deploy their ministry gifts in a fun, safe, and encouraging atmosphere. Competition is not the focus of the Fun Arts Festival. Instead, we want to provide an opportunity for students to display their talents and receive evaluation, encouragement, and ideas for improvement.

• It is the responsibility of each Fun Arts Coordinator to make all participants & parents familiar with the rules and guidelines for Fun Arts.

• Participants, parents, leaders, and guests should always be mindful of the representation of Christ regarding their behavior. Everyone is expected to show integrity, respect, and support for other churches, teams, and participants.

• Be courteous to other participants:

• Do not enter presentation rooms during a presentation.

• Remain quiet outside presentation rooms.

• Please be on time for your scheduled event.

• Students must be with their leader or parents at all times.

• All participants agree that any media captured by our Media Team (photos, video, or audio) is the property of the Oklahoma District Council of the Assemblies of God and may be used for future promotion.

• All content used for any entry must be Christian in theme and taste.

• Students may only have one entry per category.

• In group entries, one substitution may be made in case of an emergency.

• Omissions of persons may be allowed at the Fun Arts Festival; however, additions are not allowed.

• CD Players & AUX Cords (1/8” Audio Jack) for cell phone use during a presentation will be available in each room. We cannot accommodate USB Files.

• If a participant needs a piano/keyboard or drum set to be provided, indicating the need must be made during online registration.

• Every effort will be made to provide adequate space for all presentations. If you have any concerns about room size, please contact the OCM Office. Please do not contact the host church. They are not aware of room assignments or the schedule.

• Practice Rooms will be available for rehearsal.

• Please feel free to contact the OCM Office if you have any questions. We will be happy to help you! Call 405-475-1172 or email ocm@okag.org.
