What to Expect at the Covenant Members Class

Our Covenant Members Class is the best place to learn more about our beliefs, how God is working in our community, and how you can participate in that work.

by Charles McCallum on September 04, 2020

The class is a one-time, 3-hour session that includes childcare upon reservation. Normally, classes are scheduled once a quarter at 1pm to allow for you to get lunch and meet back up Sunday service and Bible study. During this time we will discuss our beliefs as Christians and Southern Baptists, and review our core values as a local body of believers. It is also an opportunity for you to meet other new members, share your testimony with us, learn more about OFBC and sign our Church Covenant!
