Most people who connect with Open Door would describe us as a church that loves well, leading with genuineness and authenticity. We understand that God wants us to be a disciple-making church. That means that for over 50 years, Open Door has held firm to the belief that God desires an authentic, intimate relationship with every person, regardless of their past sins, old wounds, or church experience. We are committed to the disciple-making process. We want to encourage you to get to know us by spending a few weeks with us and checking out all the Open Door family has to offer. We are committed to the following Core Values without compromise:
Our Mission: Building Lives to Know and Live for Jesus Christ
-
We Care About Glorifying God
Our primary responsibility, both as individuals and a church, is to glorify God in all things. Everything we do is geared toward proclaiming God’s wonderful character and pleasing Him. (Matt. 22:37; 1 Cor. 10:31; Matt. 5:13-16)
-
We Care About Proclaiming Christ
We rejoice in the message of the cross and that everyone can be forgiven through His blood and restored to a right relationship with God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. (Col. 1:13-29)
-
We Care About Being biblically Obedient
God has given us everything we need for life and godliness through His Word, the Bible. We strive to understand and put into practice how God expects us to live for His glory through the practical teaching and the application of the Scriptures. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 1 Pet. 1:3-8; Jn 14:20-23; Jam. 1:22).
-
We Care About Being relationship Focused
As we seek to grow in our relationship with God, we also must grow in our relationships with others. Therefore, we are committed to loving one another through faithfully gathering for fellowship, corporate worship, and serving each other. We continually strive to help each other walk in obedience to His Word so that all of us grow up in Him. (Phil. 2:1-8; Heb 10:24-25; 1 Jn 1:3)
