Our Mission and Vision - To be a redemptive, dynamic spiritual body empowered by the Holy Spirit, Christ like in our daily living by emphasizing total commitment, personality and possessions to the Lordship of Christ as well as sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with people in our church community and throughout the world.
What we Believe - We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man (1 Timothy 2:5). We believe there is one and only one living and true God. We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. We believe the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine.
Church History - In October 1991, Open Bible Baptist Church (OBBC) was started with a prayer list of non-believers by Rev. Jefferson Martin, Sr. and Billie Martin. A bible study was started in the Martin’s home. Rev. Martin was led by the Lord to the Pikes Peak Baptist Association (PPBA). Upon encouraging Rev. Martin to start a mission, Dr. Charles Aiken made arrangements with Southeast Baptist Mission to share thier facilities. The first service was held on November 4, 1991 with 13 members. In October 1992, the church moved to the storefront at 4393 Airport Road. OBBC grew and acquired more space at the storefront. Our first baptisms were at Skyway Baptist Church. We also baptized at Circle Drive Baptist Church (CDBC) and at CDBC’s Church on Wheels. In 1994, Garden Ranch Baptist Church became the sponsoring church. They assisted with emotional, spiritual and financial support. A constituting service was held in May 1998 with 92 charter members. In August 1998, our present location at 824 South Union was acquired.
