Discipling members towards spiritual maturity, ministry excellence, and loving relationships

Through the Spirit of the Ministry, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship seeks to cultivate an environment that’s conducive to discipling members towards spiritual maturity, ministry excellence, and loving relationships. The purpose of the Spirit of the Ministry is to create a relational atmosphere among leaders, staff, volunteers, and members that reflects a Kingdom culture and emphasizes: skill of hand and integrity of heart (Psalm 78:72).
