Who We Are . . .
At Open Bible Baptist Church our motto is “Where the Bible Is an Open Book”. First and foremost, we see our purpose as that of proclaiming the truth of God’s Word, the Bible, so that people can come into a saving relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ and learn how to live for Him and glorify Him. You’ll find us to be a very friendly church with a family atmosphere where people truly care for each other. We invite you to come out to one of our services and see for yourself!

I Timothy 3:15 tells us that the local church is “the pillar and ground of the truth”, which means that doctrine should be important. So, we are not ashamed to say that . . .
