Ministry Philosophy

About Us

“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.”

2 Timothy 4:2

Kingdom Agenda

At Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship (OCBF), our ministry is guided by the Kingdom Agenda—a comprehensive worldview and philosophy of life and ministry. This agenda is defined as the visible demonstration of the comprehensive rule of God over every area of life. This rule is reflected through four divinely ordained spheres: the individual, the family, the church, and the government.​
We teach our members the principles of the Kingdom of God so they learn to function under the authority of the Kingdom in every dimension of life. Through the proper blending of God’s Word with good works, our goal is to visibly model God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

The Four Vital Experiences of a Christian

OCBF is organized around four vital experiences, or ministry areas, to make God’s Word real in the realm of our experience. Our biblical organizational structure allows every aspect of our church to function in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God.​

Worship

A church that recognizes the glory of God

“The breaking of bread and prayer.”

— Acts 2:42c

Fellowship

A church where no one stands alone provides an experience with God’s people.​

“Continually devoting themselves to fellowship.”

— Acts 2:42b

Education

A church that teaches the knowledge and application of God’s Word gives us an experience with God’s perspective.

“Continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching.”

— Acts 2:42a

Outreach

A church that spreads the Good News of Christ in word and deed offers an experience with God’s purpose.​

“Praising God… the Lord added to their number.”

— Acts 2:47
