About US

Discovering Life

We help people discover life in Jesus Christ through:

DISCOVERING GOD

Discovering God takes place through faith and love. We hope to facilitate this by creating an experience where all can come as they are and feel comfortable and challenged. We strive for messages to be relevant by providing content that applies to everyday life. 

Mark 12:30-31


CONNECTING FOLLOWERS

Connecting followers demonstrates life is better connected. Adults in various stages of life are encouraged to join a community group. Groups meet in the communities surrounding Olive Branch Church. By meeting regularly, groups are able to study the Bible, pray and fellowship. Many of our groups enjoy getting involved in their communities through serving those in need.

Acts 2:42-47


INFLUENCING COMMUNITIES

Influencing communities is encouraged by serving those in need around us. This happens as we serve right where people are, whether it is work, home, church or everyday life. We recommend volunteering in a ministry at Olive Branch Church, serving in local communities, going on a local mission trip or a mission trip abroad.

What we believe

GOD

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal parts of one God.

Genesis 1:1,26,27Genesis 3:22Psalm 90:2Matthew 28:19I Peter 1:2II Corinthians 13:14


JESUS

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22-23Isaiah 9:6John 1:1-5John 14:10-30Hebrews 4:14-15I Corinthians 15:3-4Romans 1:3-4Acts 1:9-11I Timothy 6:14-15Titus 2:13


THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.

II Corinthians 3:17John 16:7-13John 14:16-17Acts 1:8I Corinthians 2:12I Corinthians 3:16Ephesians 1:13Galatians 5:25Ephesians 5:18 


THE BIBLE

The Bible is God’s Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

II Timothy 3:16-17II Peter 1:20-21II Timothy 1:13Psalm 119:105,160Psalm 12:6Proverbs 30:5


MAN

Man is made in the image of God as the supreme object of God’s creation. God designed man to have fellowship with him, but man became alienated from God through disobedience. We are all born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. We’re incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts.

Genesis 1:27Psalm 8:3-6Isaiah 53:6Romans 3:23Colossians 1:21Isaiah 59:1-2


ETERNITY

You were created to exist forever. We believe that forever is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. When you die, you will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. Eternal separation from God happens in hell. Eternal union with God occurs in heaven.

John 3:16I John 2:25I John 5:11-13Romans 6:23Revelation 20:15


SALVATION

Salvation is God’s gift to you if you’ll accept it. We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness that you can be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment you receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith.

Romans 6:23Ephesians 2:8-9John 14:6John 1:12Titus 3:5Galatians 3:26Romans 5:1
