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].

OBF has the opportunity to host a table at the Uptown Eclipse festival on April 6th. This is a wonderful opportunity provided by the city to meet new people, offer a loving and Christ-centered presence uptown, and to invite the community to come to OBF. In order to take full advantage of this opportunity, we would like 2-5 volunteers to be present at the table during the event. These people will be the first to connect with new folks, share about OBF, and invite them to join us. Please sign-up to help here!
