Here's What They Say


"I made a list of things I would most like to find in a church home and asked the Lord to lead me to that church. Within six months of attending TOBC I had checked off all fifteen and could still do that today."  


Dawn Davey


"At TOBC we have experienced a rich blend of satisfying fellowship and sound Biblical teaching which has done much to promote our emotional and spiritual well-being."  


Lou and Kathy Bernardini
Inspector, Endicott Fire Department
Teacher, Central Baptist Christian Academy

 



"At TOBC God's Word is the final authority. It has taught me how to share the gospel with others and to use the gifts God gave me through ministry. And the people here are family."
 

Deb Underwood
Homemaker



"This place embodies what theologian C. S. Lewis calls 'Mere Christianity': the dead-serious (but not humorless) offering of fellowship and guidance in the awesome miracle of salvation and life in the light of God."  


Mark Winheld
Newspaper Reporter



"First and foremost we appreciate the clear preaching and teaching we receive from the Word of God by the pastor and staff. Second is the feeling of family warmth and support demonstrated by the staff and the entire church."  


Dave and Jane Hettinger
Senior Engineering Manager, Lockheed-Martin
Homemaker



"At TOBC the gospel is preached and the Sunday School teaches effectively. The pastors and deacons are caring men who truly love the Lord. The people here are supportive, encouraging and understanding.  They have laughed and cried with me through good and difficult times."  


Susan Lake
Sales Representative, WSKG



"We met each other here, were married, and left for a few years to serve in the military. The warm family-like closeness at TOBC was one of the main reasons we returned to this area."  


Greg and Bonnie Emmons
Just Plain Folks



"The teaching presented here is biblically oriented and proclaimed in a manner that I believe glorifies Jesus Christ and displays His character. It is rare and welcome to find truth presented so gracefully in a world so harsh."  


Ken Gow

"I like how Pastor delivers his sermons, walking us through the Bible and showing us how to apply the Word to our lives. Our children enjoyed the Pre-Teens program even as I did when I was a child."  


Kathy Dupree



"The strong, practical Bible preaching from the pulpit and the friendliness of the people were what drew me here. The unity of spirit at business meetings also impressed me. These things and the caring, compassionate congregation have kept me here."
