Our Mission
Equipping saints for the ministry of making disciples of all nations through relationship
Building our fellowship on a New Testament model of church government, we are “Equipping the saints for the work of the ministry” (Eph 4) to “Make disciples of all nations” (Mat 28) through relationship with Jesus, fellow believers, and the lost.

About Oil City Branch Fellowship
OCBF is a relationship-based church, where we want to grow in love for God and one another. At OCBF everyone has the opportunity to grow in their giftings. We practice an open church format; service begin at 10:00am allowing for fellowship time and as 1 Cor 14:26 instructs, “When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All these must be done for the strengthening of the church.” Our goal is to provide an atmosphere where the members of Christ’s body can cultivate their gifts, so everyone can be edified and Christ can be glorified.

BELIEFS
WE believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
WE believe in the triune Godhead as eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
WE believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ of the Bible, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, His attesting miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, in His ascension, and His present priestly ministry.
WE believe that salvation comes only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
WE believe in sanctification and holiness of heart, and the overcoming life as God’s design for the Church, which is the bride of Christ.
WE believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as witnessed on the day of Pentecost and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in the gifts, manifestations, and ministry of the Holy Spirit, and in His fruit in the life of the believer.
WE believe in Christ’s imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion.
WE believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection to eternal life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection to eternal punishment.
WE believe in specific active serving of individuals in the local fellowship, who are called by God to the offices of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher, as essential to the spiritual life of the fellowship to grow into mature believers.
WE believe that all believers, men and women alike, are called and are free to do “the work of the ministry” in the body of Christ, and have the God given right to exercise their respective gifts and callings, under the covering of the local elders, “to the building up of the body of Christ.”
