VISION TEAM

To help us achieve God's vision for us, we must have team leaders and volunteers to accomplish goals and objectives outlined.  Our Vision Team has organized into four teams as shown below to address each area of our vision.

  1. The Church Strengthening Team identifies resources that can help our current churches become more effective.   They respond to the requests of our churches for support and connect church leaders with those resources that will enable them to accomplish God-directed ministry.
  2. The Church Planting Team facilitates the planting of new churches intent on ministering to people who are not being reached for Christ and His Kingdom.
  3. The Shared Ministry Team coordinates ministries that our member churches partner together to support.  Examples include the housing ministry of Good News Homes, Hispanic ministry, and Cornerstone Counseling.
  4. The Administration Team takes care of all the administrative tasks needed to help OTBA function smoothly, for example, budgeting, officer nominations, and business sessions.

The teams meet quarterly for coordination and planning.  In between quarterly meetings, team members do whatever is needed to carry out the work they have agreed upon.  Check the OTBA calendar for the next scheduled meetings.  The teams welcome all who have a passion for these areas of ministry to participate in the team process.  Contact team facilitators listed below for further information:
