Our Mission

(Deeper Dive)

1. Making Disciples: The Great Commission entrusted to us, as the Church and believers, is to make disciples who can in turn make more disciples (Matt 28:16-20). As long as we are here on earth or until God calls us home, we are dedicated to helping believers become disciple-making disciples. Additionally, we aim to support and hold our churches accountable in their mission to cultivate environments that nurture disciple-making disciples.

2. Developing Leaders- Open Bible East understands the importance of developing godly leaders to uphold the mission of the Church in the future. To achieve this, OBE assists in identifying, training, and deploying emerging leaders by partnering with local churches, pastors, and credentialed ministers. Additionally, OBE offers both national and international training opportunities for these leaders. Available avenues include Toledo School of Ministry, Discover School of Ministry, INSTE Global Bible College, School of Global Leadership, New Hope Christian College, as well as camps, retreats, and numerous training opportunities for all ages.

3. Multiplying Churches- Multiplied health, multiplied growth, and multiplied locations! Open Bible East is dedicated to fostering Godly and Biblical growth. In Genesis 1:28, God blesses humanity with the command to "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth…" This reflects our calling to embrace life as a gift from God and take responsibility for multiplication. This command goes beyond biological reproduction; it expresses God's desire for the growth and nurturing of families, culture, and spiritual legacies. Our mission is to develop healthy ministers and churches that grow and reproduce, thus multiplying! (Interested in Multiplication -Click Here)

   
   

   Missions (We are Global)- Since our founding, Open Bible Churches has embraced the core value of fulfilling Christ's command to "go into all the world and preach the gospel" (Mark 16:14-18). We take this mandate seriously, investing our time, talents, and resources to accomplish it. Currently, Open Bible is represented in 55 countries, and we have made significant progress in nationalizing most of our mission fields. Our commitment is unwavering, and we will continue our efforts until all the world knows Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. (For more info on our Missions Work- Click Here)
