ORBC exists to ignite a passion for the worship of God in all of life resulting in the proclamation of Jesus to all people.
ORBC believes:
- The Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God;
- There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
- He has revealed Himself in creation, history, Scripture and Jesus Christ;
- God created the world but man rebelled and is now born with a sinful nature;
- In the person and work of Jesus Christ, including His deity, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His true humanity, His miracles, His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to heaven, and His personal return in power and glory;
- That regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for salvation;
- Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone as Lord and Savior;
- In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and to grow in the knowledge of God and Christian obedience;
- In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost -- the saved unto eternal life in heaven and the lost unto eternal separation in hell;
- In the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and in the importance of the local church for worship, service and missions.
