Bible Open Air Mission – www.boam.org
Our History
Bible Open Air Mission (BOAM) is an independent, fundamental, Baptist mission dedicated to open-air evangelism. BOAM was founded in April of 1991 by two evangelists, Art Williams and Jack Kreidler, and a group of Independent Fundamental Baptist pastors. It operates as a non-profit 501c3. BOAM is a by faith mission.
Our Vision
Our vision is to establish teams worldwide to reach the unsaved with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In so reaching the lost we hope to establish bible studies among new converts which will eventually become churches. We consider this the Pauline approach to church planting. Our prayer is that God will establish a team in one new city (USA) and one new country (international) every year.
Our Mission
Our Lord’s Commission in Mathew 28: 19 & 20 is “ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” BOAM is committed to the great commission.

Pastor Emeritus Shahn Wilburn and his wife Juanita came to Riverview October 26, 1980 when the small congregation which occupied the little white church overlooking the New River called him to be their Pastor. A native of Giles County, he was attending Piedmont Baptist College in Winston Salem, NC at the time, and living in Franklin County, VA. Upon his arrival, the church began to have a full slate of services on Sunday, with Sunday school, morning worship and evening Bible study. God blessed, and the church began to experience steady growth. Through the years land was purchased and the current facilities were built almost totally by the church family, and all without debt. Multiple services and additional staff have been added as well, to meet the needs of a growing church family. Believing strongly in the great commission, Missions and Missionaries have been an emphasis at Riverview as well as local evangelization. Through the years God has blessed the congregation at Riverview and certainly all the praise belongs to Him.
