A church for families like yours
We started with ten families and one rented gym. Now we are three hundred strong, and we still believe the best church is a noisy one.
Our story
Open Doors began in 2012 when two moms met at a playground and wondered where their kids could learn about Jesus without sitting still for an hour. They started a Saturday story time in a school gym.
The story time turned into Sunday worship, then Friday family night. Today we have our own building with a giant kids' wing, a splash pad and a really good coffee machine.
We are not a perfect church, and our families are not perfect either. We are the kind of place where nobody minds a dropped cup or a loud toddler.
What we love
Joy
Faith is meant to be celebrated.
Play
Kids learn best when they are having fun.
Family
We help parents lead their kids in faith.
Welcome
Every family, every shape, every season.
