What's Happening At OBC
Pastor's Welcome
OBC is known as the home of 'grace and truth'. This phrase is a description of our Lord Jesus from the Gospel of John (John 1:14, 17). Jesus Christ is the Head of this church and we seek to honour and exalt him in all that we do.
The word 'Grace' reminds us that God has given us far more than we need or deserve - his most generous gift is eternal life. In return, we want to display and extend that same kind of grace to every person we meet.
The word 'truth' is a specific reminder that God's Word to us, the Bible, is absolute truth. As a church, we are committed to the authority and sufficiency of God's inerrant Word. Every decision, every programme, every ministry of OBC is subjected to the principles outlined in Scripture.
OBC has undertaken a number of exciting changes during the past year. We are so grateful for all that God has been doing and we look forward with great anticipation to how he will build us in the years to come. If you're looking for a church, it would be an honour to have you visit us. We strive to be hospitable, caring, and friendly. You are very welcome.
We worship together at 10am every Sunday morning at 16 Riverbend Road, Onekawa, Napier. See you soon.
Grace & Truth
Pastor Phil
I'm New Here
SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE 10:00-11:30am
The worship service will include a time of singing, Bible reading, prayer, giving and preaching of God’s powerful Word. Most Sundays we celebrate the Lord’s death and resurrection by taking communion together.
We are a family church with people from all stages and ages in life with an ever increasing number of kids, youth and young adults.
There is a creche available each week for the children 0-3 years old. The creche also caters for Mums so they can watch and listen to all the events taking place in the main auditorium if they need to be in with their little ones.
We also run a Sunday School during the sermon for children aged 3-12 years old. Children are taught simple yet important truths about God, Jesus Christ, the gospel and how to live a life that pleases God.
After the service the Sunday School children are welcome to enjoy the playground in the fenced off area at the back of the property.
After the service we enjoy a time of fellowship and refreshments in the Youth Hall.
On the last Sunday of each month we have a shared, fingerfood lunch. You won’t need to bring anything—you are our guest and we will provide enough food for you and your family.
