Open Bible Baptist Church

Brooklyn, Connecticut

Pastor Rick Davis

Revival 2010

The faith and vision of Bible Baptist Church  was seen the winter Revival Meeting of 2010.

 It was the desire of Pastor and people to have the Lord speak to their hearts and move among them.  Through much prayer and openness before the Lord, many areas of lives were touched and corrected.  Areas of weakness were strengthen in the Word of God

Not a service went by that the altar was empty.  Under the conviction of the Holy Spirit and direction found in the Word of God folks did their most sincere and heartfelt surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Good Gospel music is not just about notes and words.  Many can play the notes and sing the words, but the really blessing is when it comes from the heart and soul of the believer.

Missions still ranks high on the duties and privileges of this evangelistic ministry

Missions Conference
2008

The Lord is blessing in a most wonderful way here in Brooklyn, Connecticut.  As the church is growing so is its outreach among the local community and around the world.  From the very beginning the heart of the church has been souls. No matter as to location, just souls in need of salvation.  This was a great Mission Conference.  Each night folks gave attentive direction to the Biblical means of support and missions.

At the close of the conference there was a great crowd on hand and an excellent and heart warming response in missions commitment.  The faith promise commitment was 80% over last year.  Only a people with such great faith and deep love for the Lord can achieve such an outstanding growth in giving.

Not only did the Lord speak in our hearts in the matter of giving, but also many personal needs, conviction and strength for life were evident.

Music to the Glory of God and heart felt testimonies always make a service truly special

Ten Year Anniversary Service

Amazing how fast time travels.  It was just over ten years ago I that I drove past Open Bible Baptist Church, wondering if this new church was true to the Word of God and the mission of the Lord.   Now ten year later I preached the Ten  Year Anniversary service!

The weekend began with an abundant and delicious fellowship dinner.  Food and fellowship always make for a blessed time among God's people.

A great crowd came for the Sunday Morning service.  How amazing that ten years ago this was and empty building in a community with no true Gospel witness.  Now a thriving ministry is expanding its out reach across the Brooklyn area.

We were privileged to have both the Men's and Ladies' singing group from the New England Baptist College with us in the services.

During the Sunday Morning service the members took time to honor and show appreciation to Pastor Davis, his wife and family. There was a special power point presentation showing the history and development of the ministry in Brooklyn, CT. After the video, the Davis were presented with gifts as token of love and support.  Many testimonies were given to the effect Brother Davis, his family and the church had on their life.

One of the main roads that I travel is Route 6 towards Rhode Island. I remember one Sunday Morning when my Oh hum drive was broken by the sign that read "OPEN BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH".  My thought was, "I wonder if that is a Bible Believing Baptist Church starting in the old Grange Hall."  Well, I soon meet Brother Rick Davis and his family and now can say AMEN it is gospel preaching, Bible believing, Fundamental Baptist Church!

Open Bible Baptist Church in the past Ten years has experienced the blessing of the Lord in great ways. Pastor Rick Davis and his family moved here from Georgia being called of the Lord to establish, build and pastor one of Connecticut's faithful Baptist Churches.  Souls have been saved, baptized and taught Godly living and faithful followers of Jesus Christ.

I have preached here a number of times and have seen the church grow in numbers and spiritual maturity.  I always am glad to see and meet the new folks.

My wife, Faith and I had a wonderful time with the folks and the response to the preaching was excellent.  I expect to see the Lord's blessing on this work and ministry.

It always thrills my heart to see young people serve the Lord with gladness.

The old grange hall in town was purchased and remodeled by the members of the church.    New and more "comfortable" chairs were installed,  the wooded floor was completely refinished,  the ceiling was dropped, new lighting added and a platform was built.  The lower auditorium was also redone along with the kitchen.

Yet the labor for souls is the key and foremost vision of this gospel preaching church.

From the very start the believers have taken the responsibility of World wide missions seriously.  Several missionaries are supported  by prayer and financial giving.   No church is Biblical unless it has a missions program to reach the lost around the world.

Pastor Rick Davis and his family
 need your prayers for the Lord's
guidance and power.
