CHURCH
OF THE OPEN DOOR
We Believe...
-
The Bible is the inspired, inerrent Word of God
-
In one God, eternally existent as three persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
-
Salvation by grace alone, not by works. Jesus Christ is true God and true man, that He died on the cross and shed His blood as a sacrifice for sin; that He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
-
Man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and can be justified only by grace through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
In the personal, literal second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge both the living and the dead. In everlasting blessedness for the believer, judgement and eternal punishmnet for the unbeliever.
-
Baptism in water by full immersion and baptism of the Holy Spirit which empoweres all believers to be witnesses and to operate with power and authority in all of the gifts of the Spirit.
-
In the full function of five-fold ministry gifts of the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.
-
The church is God's instrument to establish and extend His Kingdom through teaching and sustaining the principles and values of the Kingdom of God.
Vision
1. To ensure that the name of the Lord is exalted and revered in all the earth.
2. To be a place where there is acceptance and recognition of all God's Governmental Offices of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers.
3. To be a church, that strongly declares, that the earth must be filled with knowledge of the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
4. To be a place where strong stable families are built.
5. Where men and women, every believer, function in their true spiritual spheres of leadership and influence.
6. Children are trained in the way of the Lord and find a place of security, thus enabling the blessings of the Lord to be released to successive generations.
7. To be a House of Prayer.
8. To be a house of hope, deliverance and restoration, where the saints are encouraged to function in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
9. To establish the biblical pattern for church leadership, visual plurality of elder-ship and team ministry in a local assembly whose order and organization is motivated by the promises of God and also directed by the Lord God Almighty.
10. To assist the saints in understanding and fulfilling their God ordained destiny.
11. To be a Church that promotes Kingdom Living by teaching and living by Kingdom principles and values.
