OBC is fully committed to the five Core values of the Baptist Union which visions the church to be a community
in Christ, called to be:

• A Prophetic Community
  Confronting evil, injustice and hypocrisy.  Challenging worldly concepts of power, wealth, status and
  security.

• An Inclusive Community
  Transcending barriers of gender, language, race, class, age and culture.  Identifying with those who are rejected, deprived and powerless.

• A Sacrificial Community
  Accepting vulnerability and the necessity of sacrifice.  Seeking to reflect the generous, life-giving nature of God.

• A Missionary Community
  Demonstrating in word or action God's forgiving and healing love.  Calling and enabling people to
  experience the love of God for themselves.

• A Worshipping Community
  Engaging in worship and prayer which inspire and undergird all we are and do.  Exploring and expressing what it means to live together as the people of God, obeying his Word and following Christ in the whole of daily life.
