OUR MISSION
Impacting lives with the hope of Jesus Christ.
OUR LEGACY
The Legacy of Church of the Open Bible continues now as IMPACT Church. COB was founded in 1963 by a group of engineers from the Parkesburg/Coatesville area. As each man became a believer they desired to have a church that would teach truth to their children and families. They began by having a Bible study in the Cardwell home. As these men faithfully met for Bible study they eventually decided to call Pastor Wheatly to help lead the church to reach the local community. Over the last 50+ years COB has been a light in the Parkesburg and surrounding communities and will continue to reach those who need the hope of Jesus Christ in their lives for many years to come.
OUR CORE VALUES
Community Focus
IMPACT Church exists for the local community, both believers and those seeking a hope and reliance in Jesus Christ and not this world. You will find authentic people to connect and build positive relationships with when you visit us!
Purposeful Worship
Enjoy upbeat, encouraging, and relevant music each weekend at IMPACT Church. Through song each of us can worship God for all that He has done and what He is still going to do.
Biblical Teaching
At IMPACT Church you will hear clear, relevant, and encouraging truth from the Bible, God’s Holy Word. Through passionate teaching and authentic experiences, God’s Word will become more than just another book in the world.
Intentional Evangelism
We recognize that our world is broken and in need of a Savior. We understand that God sent His one and only son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross to forgive us of our sins, both past, present and future. We must be intentional in sharing this Good News with the people around us.
Powerful Prayer
Prayer is a lost tool in our world, but we know that God designed it as a powerful way to move in people. Learn and experience true communion with God through powerful, life-changing prayer. IMPACT Church will commit to praying for you, our country and our world.
Multiplying Disciples
Going to church is a great first step. But discipleship is a lifelong journey and a necessity to spiritual growth and opportunity to be used by God. IMPACT Church wants to see people saved and actively growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
