Who We Are

Open Bible Center is a loving and diverse church family.  We desire to grow in relationship with Jesus Christ and with one another.  Our heart is to share God's wonderful message of the Gospel with those around us. We believe God has gifted every believer to be His hands and feet to the world in which we live.

We are affiliated with Open Bible Churches, whose international headquarters are located in Des Moines, Iowa.
