Connect. Belong. Thrive

At Open Door, the doors swing open on the hinges of love and hospitality. We're a caring community of imperfect people who've found wholeness and forgiveness in Jesus' radical vision of love, liberation, justice, and service to others.

An "Open & Affirming" faith community, we honor differences in perspective, age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, class, education, or ability.

Whether you're a skeptic exploring faith, or someone looking for a church home—you are welcome here!

“The moment I walked through the doors of Open Door Church I knew I’d found something different.”

— KAYLA MAXWELL

“What I need is a spiritual message that I can take into my heart, and practice the following week. That’s what I get at Open Door.”

— DOUG LAU

Find your way in

However you like to connect — in worship, in a small circle, or out in the community — there's an entry point built for you.

Sunday mornings, and everything in between

Join us for worship at 10am, or find your people in one of our small groups, Bible study, book club, or a circle built around whatever you're wrestling with this season.
