Excellence exemplified in Corporate contemporary Christian worship. Great praise and worship, congregant engagement and clearly presented Bible-based teaching.

Bible Center is a growing church. It is classified as C.O.G.I.C. , but it manages to avoid a lot of the traditional aspects and focuses on the parts of the Christian Faith that matters. It is a relatively small church, but they have an amazing impact for their size. 'Also, they have an 11:00am service time and don't expect you to dress any particular way (most people dress casual). The Oasis Project which focuses on their non-profit work such as mentoring, economic development and battling food insecurity, is one arm of their ministry. This church is very service oriented and the makeup of the church reflects this.The sermons are always challenging and entertaining. The Pastor speaks from a perspective which includes him on the lesson and the impact of the self reflection makes it even easier to relate. They also provide transportation to a number of the local colleges and kids within the community. The socio-economic demographic makeup varies, but because of its location it is typically 90% african american.
