Convention Resources

President Michael Nortune unveiled the brand-new look for Open Bible Churches! Fresh. Bold. Spirit-led. Our new logo and visual identity reflect who we are today and the movement we’re becoming—united, mission-focused, and ready to reach every generation here and around the world!

We know you’re excited to start using the new logo—and we’re excited to get it to you! We’ll be making the new branding assets available to all our churches within the next week.

Thanks for your patience as we roll everything out. This is just the beginning.

We are Open Bible.
