Sunday Meeting


First-time visitors to Open Door are always welcome. We hope you’ll enjoy the Sunday meeting and feel comfortable to observe or participate as much as you wish

What To Expect


Worship
We start with a time that centres on ‘who God is’ and ‘what He has done’ that allows us to express our passion and devotion to God. To achieve this goal we sing songs based on these themes, we talk to God in prayer and passages of the Bible are read out. We give space for church members to share things that they feel God wants to say to us, which is something churches in the Bible did. The musical style is lively and contemporary, often featuring drums, guitars, keyboard, and bass.

Bible based Talk
We love the Bible because it is God’s book and through every bit of it, he has things to say us. We take time to understand the Bible’s message and how this can teach us about God, about ourselves, about the world that we live in and about what authentic Christian lifestyle looks like in practice.

Children’s Programme

The infants and children, leave the main meeting after the first half hour where they are provided with a structured programme of activities that is appropriate for their age. For pre-school children we include Bible stories, puppets, free play and craft and for the older ones, activities include games, songs and competitions…

 

Youth Work

Over the last year we have started a youth group for our 11-16 year olds. Once a month we run an informal event where the youth can come chat and enjoy fellowship with others the same age. During this time together we will go through issues faced by the youth of today and how the Bible teaches us to deal with them.
