engaging with our community and building relationships to foster community is critical to who we are.
A healthy community is based on good relationships and there are a couple of foundational ways that we work towards creating them. One is to engage and participate as a good partner in our town and the other is to foster deep and lasting relationships among the people who are a part of the church.
To build relationships among the people of OBJC we have our Sunday services, small groups, serving groups, and special events. And to build healthy relationships in our town we believe in being a good neighbor by supporting local organizations that are doing good things.
Below you can see a list of a few of the organizations that we support or partner with.
