Thanks for visiting us @ gospelopenbible.com! My name is Charles, my wife's name is Deanna. We have been blessed with four unique and talented boys. Michael 17, Matthew 13, Mitchell 11 & Mason 8. My background is very diverse. I have attended a number of different schools; Olivet Nazarene Univ., Religious Studies, Illinois Kankakee Community College, Law Enforcement, Illinois Governor State University, Pre Law, Illinois Eugene Bible College, Pastoral Studies, Oregon
I know that God has called my family and I here to Jefferson for this time of our lives.
God has called this church family to be, "A Tower of Truth & Love" in this community and the surrounding area. We will accomplish this by loving people unconditionally. No matter where people are in their lives, we want them to know that just as Jesus loves and accepts them, so do we. It is not our job to change people and their lifestyles, that's God's job. We are suppose to love them closer to Him and let Him change whatever He wants to.
I would like to personally invite you to come and visit with us. God gives everyone unique gifts and abilities to use to glorify Him, and I would love to see you come and grow with us!
'It's more important to be obedient, than it is to be comfortable!' Pastor Charles Cole
