Open Door Church is committed to reaching Northeastern North Carolina with the good news of Jesus Christ. We are an independent, non-affiliated fellowship with a love of Jesus that connects us to a larger purpose in life.

KNOW GOD

God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants a relationship with us. Our weekend services are where we focus on that relationship. Whether you're new to faith, have questions, or have been a Christ follower for a long time, our services are a safe place to learn more about what it means to know God and grow closer to Him.

You will meet people and encounter the real and living God at both our Edenton Campus and our Bertie Campus, as well as our Online Campus.

FIND FREEDOM

One of the ways God designed for us to live in freedom is to have people in our life to help us in the journey. Connecting with others in Life Groups is a practical and fun way to find that kind of life-changing community.

DISCOVER PURPOSE

We're all an important part of God's plan, and our life will never make sense until we discover our purpose. Growth Track is designed to help us take steps in the important process of discovering our purpose.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

This is God's ultimate plan for our life--to make a difference in the lives of others. When we do, the Bible tells us we will experience joy. Through the volunteering on a team, we hope to connect every person to an opportunity to live out their calling by using their gifts and talents to serve others in the church and the community.

Our Beliefs

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; in His Virgin Birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.

We believe it is important to uphold the scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to the practice of water baptism and the regular taking of Communion. We do not believe that either of these practices is essential for salvation but that they demonstrate our living faith in Christ.
