Church of the Open Bible

About this church

Church of the Open Bible in Athens, Maine, meets at 105 S Main Street on Sunday mornings, with Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and the main worship service at 10:45 a.m. A typical service runs about 60 minutes and includes a mix of contemporary and traditional music led by a worship team. Childcare and activities for all age groups are available, and the church encourages visitors to stay afterward for fellowship. The congregation grew out of home Bible studies in the Athens area and was founded in 1964.

Children can attend Sunday School and Children's Church, and teens have their own Sunday School class. Special youth activities are held every couple of months, and a scholarship program is offered to students who choose a Christian college. During the week, a women's Bible study meets Monday mornings at 10 a.m., a mixed small group meets Wednesday evenings in a home in Embden, and a Thursday evening prayer and Bible study takes place at the church. The site lists the Thursday start time as both 6:00 and 6:30 p.m., so confirm before attending. Community outreach has included public meals, Thanksgiving boxes, an annual hunters' breakfast, and a summer VBS, and the church supports missionaries. Visitors can call 207-654-2344 with questions.
