About Us

Mission Statement

OHR exists to embrace the broken, and to educate, equip and empower the church to be effective in evangelism.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to make an eternal impact for Jesus one person, one community and one city at a time by raising up urban missionaries and planting churches, starting in New Orleans. 

Our Values

Love Well - We believe that everything we do must be coated and sealed in the love of Jesus. Love is a language that everyone can understand. We are committed to building loving relationships both inside and outside the church. People will know we are His by the way we love others.

(Philippians 2:1-4; John 13:34,35.)

Empowering Leaders - We will be faithfully committed to continually raising up leaders within the church. We will raise up leaders to effectively serve the local church and the local community; leaders who will plant more churches and leaders who will effectively serve the global church. We don't own anyone; we want to raise up men and women and release them into their calling.

(2 Timothy 2:2; Ephesians 4:11,12; Matthew 28:19,20.)

Generous - We will be dedicated to being generous inside and outside the church. We will be an outreach driven church that will create opportunities to serve our communities well. We will be generous with our time, our money and our love as individuals and as a body!

(Mark 10:45; Acts 20:35; Matthew 25:40.)

Doers - We will be a church that doesn't just study the Word, but we will live out the Word. We will not just point out problems, but we will find solutions. We will do our best to not just preach Jesus, but to display Him through every word and deed. We will do good even to those who don't.

(James 1:22; James 2:14-17; Romans 12:21.)

Transparent - We are human, and where there are people, there are problems. We are real people, with real problems, but we serve a real God who really cares. We won't wear our masks to church! We will walk through our problems together and point each other to Christ.

(2 Corinthians 1:3-5; James 5:16; 1 Peter 5:7.)

Family - Family Matters! There is always room for you, there is no such thing as a full house with us. You are welcome to sit with us, eat with us and grow with us. We will always keep a family atmosphere where you feel welcomed and loved. We will cry with each other and we will always laugh together. This is a place to worship in unity and a place to belong!

(Ephesians 2:19-22; Romans 12:10-16; Acts 2:42.)

Prayer - We pray about everything, always.

(1 Thessalonians 5:17; 1 Timothy 2:1-3; Philippians 4:6-8.)

Spirit Empowered - We operate not in the strength of ourselves but by the working of the Spirit that lives within us. Apart from Him we can do nothing! But in Him all things are possible. We believe in the gifts of the Spirit working through His people.

(John 15:5; Matthew 19:26; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; Acts 1:8.)

Worshipers - We worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. We believe that worship comes in many ways; how we love, how we talk, how we work, how we lead our families and in song. We are dedicated to developing effective worship services that bring glory to God and inspire others to worship in all aspects of their lives. (Acts 2:42-47; Ephesians 5:18-21; John 4:24; Deuteronomy 6:6-9.)

Unashamed - We will always stand on the Word of God; never compromising our values to fit in with the world. We will raise up believers devoted to sharing the gospel with the world.

(Romans 1:16; Mark 16:15.)
