Ginghamsburg Church

After Slaughter's arrival, the mission of the church has been to "win the lost and set the oppressed free,"[2] By 2012, approximately 5,000 people attended Ginghamsburg's campuses each week.

Slaughter became a leading figure in missional church movement and a popular author and speaker, and has been named one of the most influential Christians in America.

[8][9] A non-profit organization was also formed by members of the Ginghamsburg cyberministry team to help other churches develop their websites and online ministries.

[22][23] As a result of the annual miracle offering, Slaughter authored a book calling on Christians to reject self-centered, consumeristic approaches to the holiday season and remember what he perceives as the true meaning of Christmas.

The idea led to the United Methodist denomination making it a denomination-wide event in which thousands of churches around the world participate in a weekend of community service.

[35][36][37] The event corresponded with the release of Slaughter's book Change the World: Recovering the Mission and Message of Jesus.

Hundreds of teenagers from the Dayton area visit The Avenue youth center weekly for spiritual classes as well as outreach events.

The South Campus houses The Ark, which is the original Ginghamsburg Church building and is now a practicum center for training events.

Prior to July 2008, Fort McKinley was a separate United Methodist congregation, located in an economically-challenged Dayton neighborhood.
