REACHING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

Missions don’t just happen in foreign lands – you can have a significant influence in your own community. At ORBC, we are making a local impact by spreading the love of Christ in our own backyard.

ORBC LOCAL INITIATIVES

ORBC Kindness Culture

Kindness is not only the new cool, but it’s also a Biblical principle. At ORBC, we take being kind seriously. We wrap kindness in a hug, a bottle of water, or a task like washing windows. Our passion is to show our community “the love of Jesus in a practical way” through acts of kindness.
