Join us on February 18th from 12-1:15pm for the Community Group Luncheon. If you're already in a community group, or are considering joining one, this lunch is for you! We'd love for you to come connect with others from OBF, meet the community group leaders, and hear about how to take the next step into a community group! During our lunch we'll talk more in depth about the vision for community groups over the next year and provide clear next steps to join a group. Click here to register so we can adequately prepare food.

We invite you to join us this Sunday as we spend time in John 10:1-21 looking at how Jesus is our Good Shepherd. We encourage you to read ahead in preparation for Sunday. If you are interested in accessing discussion questions for Sunday’s sermon, click here.

We are looking forward to gathering again to study God's Word in the spring 2024 season! We will study the second part of 1 Corinthians, chapters 10-16. There is no need to have studied 1 Corinthians in the fall to participate this spring. All are welcome! The 9-week study is expected to run from approximately February 25th - April 28th. Please register here. You can pick up your book anytime during the church office hours Monday - Thursday, 9:00 - 4:00 PM, or in the Next Steps area after Sunday services. It will also be available at the first Bible study gathering, if you aren't able to pick it up prior. If you have any questions, please contact the Women's Ministry at [email protected].

Join Pastor Emanuel on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30PM to pray for our church, our town, our country, and our world!

Our Membership Class is postponed until a later date. The majority of those interested aren't available this weekend. Pastor Emanuel will reach out to those interested and we will communicate the new date, once scheduled.

Join us this Sunday as Pastor Emanuel walks us though the second part of John 10. Our passage of study will be John 10:22-42. We invite you to read ahead in preparation for Sunday’s message! Discussion questions for John 10 can be found here.

Are you interested in being baptized as a public profession of your faith in Christ? The next baptisms will take place on Sunday, March 10th. If you would like to learn more about baptism and the opportunity to publicly declare your faith in Christ, please complete this interest form. Pastor Emanuel will follow up with you based on your submission!

This Sunday Pastor Emanuel will preach through John 11. We encourage you to read the passage beforehand and make use of the study guide provided here.

This Sunday we have the privilege of hearing from Taylor Scott as he continues our series in the Gospel of John. Taylor will be preaching from John 12:1-11 and as we do in every weekly email, we invite you to read the passage in preparation for Sunday morning! Please be in prayer for Pastor Emanuel as he flies out Sunday night for Romania. He will be preaching at a church planting conference in Bucharest next week to pastors and church planters from Romania and Moldova. As Pastor Emanuel is away, we will not have a formal prayer meeting for the next two weeks. Feel free to still gather at the church to pray, as you feel led!
