Open Bible Central extends to nine states in the central part of the continental United States. We resource and serve affiliated churches and credentialed ministers. Our vision is developed around three main strategies: the Heart of the Leader, the Health of the Church, and the Harvest of Communities. We believe these will help us address our missional objectives and fulfill the commission Jesus gave us.
