Open Bible Praise Center Pastor ~ Randy Richards In November of 1996, four couples sat around a dining room table sharing a vision that God had laid on each of their hearts.

The vision was for a place people could come as they were to praise and worship, a place where the whole bible was taught, and a place to find God. It was also essential to create a place for the hurting to come and find rest. One of the most important parts of the vision was to make it a safe and fun place for children to come and for teenagers to hangout. The search for a building ended when an empty sale barn was found. Over the next 6 weeks, untold hours were spent cleaning, painting and remodeling the building. Every spare moment, spare dollar and spare favor owed was used to get things ready for the first service that was held on January 12, 1997. From four families around a table, we had 43 people in service that cold January day. Seven years later, Open Bible Praise Center purchased land on Hwy 87 and began the process of building the facility you see today. Done in phases, services were first held in what now is the gymnasium while the remaining areas were completed. What you see is not the end of a huge building contract but instead the blood sweat and tears of many talented carpenters, electricians, plumbers and volunteers that donated their time and their hard work to Kingdom work. No words can express the gratitude due these individuals. As our building and ministries grew, our name shortened. Though we are still affiliated with the Open Bible Churches, we are known in the community and by our congregation as The Praise Center.

Good morning!! It is one of my favorite seasons of the year!! CHILI COOK-OFF SEASON!! This is our youth ministries biggest fundraiser. The money is used for anything from youth scholarships to purchases that we may need for our youth ministry.
There are a few ways that you can get involved:
Compete: Put together a team representing your local business or just a group of friends, and take your best shot at winning the Chili Cook-Off Champion title, Most Creative Chili, Best Booth, or the People’s Choice Award. ($10 ENTRY FEE)
Baked Good Auction: Whip up something sweet and donate to our Baked Good Auction to be auctioned off!
Consume: Bring your family out to Open Bible Praise Center and sample a wide variety of home-made chili. You will also cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award! As well as bid on some very delicious desserts
Entry includes: score card, bowl of chili, side salad, cornbread and drink
Donate: Another way you can participate is to donate! We are accepting financial donations as well as donations to our Baked Good Auction. All proceeds will go to OBPC Greater Youth Ministries!
Pray: Lastly, but certainly the most important, you can join us in prayer. Our ministry always needs to be covered in prayer. Pray that God would draw students to Him and provide all the funds necessary to serve them.
Please consider joining us Sunday, October 18th directly following church to eat, vote, and maybe even win the cook-off if you are so lucky! Pastor Kennedy
