Outreach

OBC works to reach our local community through our Weekly Visitation program. Visitation is held regularly on Monday and/or Tuesday evenings at 6 PM. Members strive to bring their neighbors to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Manor Care

We honor the elderly of our community, by ministering to the residents of Fairfax manor Care Nursing Home. This is a time of praise and singing on Thursday, 11 AM - 12 PM.

The Southern Baptist Corporative

OBC helps to support a variety of missions throughout the world through funding to the Southern Baptist Corporative. This organization funds missionaries to every continent and country in the world. These missionaries provide food, medical, and educational needs for communities that are not as fortunate as ourselves. And of course, wherever possible, they introduce Jesus and minister to the souls they come into contact with.

Western Fairfax Christian Ministry

Western Fairfax Christian Ministry is supported by more than 20 churches in the Centreville, Chantilly, and Clifton area. It began serving the needy in western Fairfax in 1987. Members are regularly involved in meeting the financial, clothing, food, medical and school supply needs of the local community.

Lottie Moon Ministry

The annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is named for the Southern Baptist missionary, Lottie Moon, who served in China from Feb., 1873, to Dec., 1912. In 1888 she wrote to the Baptist women of the South, pleading for reinforcements. The first Christmas offering in 1888 provided three additional missionaries.

Literally starving during a time of terrible famine, she grew weaker and weaker. She gave all she had. In the time of deepest trials she wrote, "I hope no missionary will be as lonely as I have been." Before Christmas, 1912, Cynthia Miller, her faithful nurse, started back to America with Lottie Moon; death came to the frail missionary, Christmas Eve, while the ship was at harbor in Kobe, Japan.

Annie Armstrong Ministry

Each year, we honor the life and work of Annie Walker Armstrong (1850-1938) when we give to the annual offering for home missions named after her. As a tireless servant of God and a contagious advocate and supporter of mission efforts throughout the world, Annie Armstrong led women to unite in mission endeavors that ultimately led to the formation of Woman’s Missionary Union, for which she served as the first corresponding secretary.

Through gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering®, North American missions personnel are enabled to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Every dollar given to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering® goes to direct support of missionaries and their ministries. These missionaries are faithful stewards of those gifts. In her day (1850-1938), Annie Armstrong rallied churches to give more, pray more, and do more for reaching people for Christ. As we continue to unite to make her vision a reality in North America today, we can be confident that her legacy will also be ours.
