At OBC, we believe that:
-
Everyone is created perfect in God’s image and that everyone should be able to experience the joy of knowing they are of value to God and to God’s people. We believe that everyone should have access to friendships and relationships centered on God’s love for them.
-
Love is a free gift to all. It does not depend on any certain level of mental ability.
-
The church is complete only when it includes all of God’s children and when all people are seen as equals in our eyes.
The Friendship Ministry at Osborne Baptist Church is for children and adults (ages 12 & older) with any type developmental disability.
At our Friendship Ministry gatherings, each special friend will be matched with a “buddy” who will make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Together, they will explore God’s love for them through worship, skits, bible study, crafts and social time.
