AT OBC...
…we want to equip, mobilize, and send our members to engage their neighbors for the sake of the Gospel.
We want to see our people living to make Jesus known right where God has them.
God has given each of us our own unique circle of influence where we live, work, and play.
These areas represent opportunities to connect with people and point them to Jesus.
We likewise see that God wants the church to combine the passionate proclamation of the
gospel with the practice of compassionate mercy toward the poor, vulnerable, and
marginalized people we encounter. So we also engage our community for the gospel by teaming up
with like-minded organizations and ministry partners who meet the needs of those around us.
