Who We Are

Building you for Kingdom Building

Our Vision

We’re on a kingdom-minded mission to grow discipleship and form community with a connected focus on God. Our vision is to have transformed lives that transfer the values of the Kingdom of God. Our mission is to disciple the church to impact the world.

What We Believe

Kingdom Agenda

OCBF has set in motion a Kingdom Agenda, our comprehensive worldview and philosophy of life and ministry.  The Kingdom Agenda is defined as the visible demonstration of the comprehensive rule of God over every area of life. This rule is reflected through the four divinely ordained spheres of the individual, the family, the church and the government.

What We Believe

“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.”

2 Timothy 4:2

Ministry Philosophy

The Four Vital Experiences of a Christian

We have organized OCBF around the four vital experiences, also called ministry areas, in an effort to make the Word of God real in the realm of our experience. OCBF’s biblical organizational structure allows every aspect of our church to function in the presence of God; under the authority of God; to the glory of God

Give. Grow. Serve.
