Church Of The Open Door
Elyria OH

We are a group of people that LOVE GOD with everything we have, LOVE PEOPLE with a love that comes from God and try to LIVE SURRENDERED to what God has planned for us as individuals and as a church. We have a clear mission that comes from the Great Commission of Jesus (Co-Mission: Christ’s mission that we accomplish together) in Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples….” A disciple is one who is learning to become like their master. Our Master is Jesus Christ. Therefore, our mission is to produce spiritually mature followers of Jesus Christ. At Church Of The Open Door we put it like this: “Leading People in the Adventure of Becoming Like Christ”

WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT US?

There is so much we could tell you about Open Door, but the most important thing for you to know is YOU ARE INVITED to any service, event, class, etc. This is a great way to get a “close up” look at who we are and what we are all about. We are a group of people that LOVE GOD with everything we have, LOVE PEOPLE with a love that comes from God and try to LIVE SURRENDERED to what God has planned for us as individuals and as a church. If you are new to this whole church scene, don’t worry, we are all in different places on this adventure called “life”. You may be trying to just figure out who “God” is. That’s okay! We would be happy to walk this journey with you. Churches come in all different flavors, sizes and styles. We have put together a few descriptive statements that will help you get a feel for who we are.

We are an inter-denominational church: Everybody is welcome to attend our church as we focus on biblical truths that unite instead of denominational beliefs that separate. We are an evangelical church: We teach the Bible and the historic truths of the Christian faith found in God’s Word. We are a contemporary church: We are a group of people who enjoy expressing our faith in culture-current ways using contemporary music and multi-media. We are a loving, accepting church of people who are on the adventure of a lifetime: coming to know Christ and growing to become more like Christ. We are a Christ-centered church: Jesus Christ is the reason we gather, the Savior we worship, the Word we proclaim, the One we love, the motivation of our mission, the example we follow and our coming King we anticipate. We are a Spirit-led & Spirit-empowered church: We are cooperating with the work of the Holy Spirit in leading people to Christ and helping them become more like Christ We are a worshiping church: We love to worship our God and celebrate who He is, what He has done in Christ and what He is doing by His Holy Spirit. We are a diverse church: While you will find unity of faith centered on Jesus Christ, you will also find a diversity of ethnic groups, races, clothing styles, etc. We are an intergenerational church: You will find programs and ministries that connect with all ages and interests. We are a fun-loving, creative, relational church where people matter and creativity is encouraged and joy is contagious. We are a seeker-sensitive church: We want to help seekers of all kinds to connect with God; seekers far from God and seekers who may know God but want to get closer to Him. We are a mission-focused church: We are not here to just get together and socialize; we have a clear vision and mission given to us by Jesus Christ.
