Mission Statement

Open Door Baptist Church offer families a Christ-centered biblically based ministry that is educational, evangelical, inspirational and combative of negative and demonic forces in our communities.

Christ Centered:
The center and purpose for all that we do here at Open Door is Christ. Christ is our center.  There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.  (Acts 4:12)

Biblically Based:
We believe the bible is the infallible Word of God.  We understand it to be inspired by God, who uses its writers to reveal Himself, thoughts, intents and plans to us for humanity.  (2 Timothy 3:16)

Educational:
Open Door is a teaching institution that equips the Body of Christ to do the work of the ministry.  (Ephesians 4:12)

Evangelical:
Our primary purpose is to glorify God and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with people who are in a state of eternal separation from God.  We have accepted the mandate from Jesus.  (Matthew 28:19-20)

Inspirational:
Open Door inspires people to draw closer into a warm and loving relationship with the Lord and with their brothers and sisters in Christ.  (Ephesians 2:14-17)

Combative of Negative and Demonic Forces:
Through our outreach and prayer, Open Door will impact the forces in our communities designed to lure people further away from the Lord.  As we continue to have an increasing presence in our communities, we combat these forces through our proclamation of the truth and being examples of truth.  (Ephesians 6:10-18)
