This past Saturday, Ohio's 2025 CTS Competition was the largest we have had in a while. We had entries in Art, Music, Memorization, Sword Drills, Bible Millionaire, Tic Tac Toe, Bible Bowl, and Truth Quest. Such a blessing to see so many young people developing their talents and gifts for the Lord! Looking forward to seeing many of them in Kansas City this July.
If you want more information on how to get involved in CTS, please contact any OSM board member.
