The purpose of Open Door Church’s Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the Eight Recovery Choices. This ministry allows us to be changed by being willing to accept God’s grace in solving life’s problems. By believing and applying biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. Celebrate Recovery meets at the Edenton Campus in the Open Door Youth Room every Tuesday at 6:30PM. Everyone inside and outside the church is welcome.

Since 2011, Open Door Church has fed over 15,000 meals to the Edenton Steamers. All players and staff for both the Steamers and the visiting team are provided a meal after every home game. Preparing a meal is just a small way you can get involved to show love and serve our community.

Over the past 12 months, Open Door Church Food Distribution has served an average of 85 households each month. We need about 12-15 volunteers to provide food for people from our five surrounding counties. Food distribution is available to anyone in need, regardless of income levels or situation. Food Distribution is scheduled for the 4th Thursday of the month, from 5PM-6:30PM but can vary in November and December due to the holidays.

Is your heart broken? Lost? Stuck?

We are all grievers. Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind. In our culture, we’re taught how to acquire things, not what to do when we lose them. Recovery from loss is achieved by a series of small and correct choices made by the griever. We learn to think in a more complete way about our losses. We don’t get over grief, we get complete with it.

This ministry includes leading groups through a structured grief recovery educational program.

Life Groups are all about Jesus followers gathering together and building supportive relationships for personal and biblical growth. They are small groups of individuals/couples that meet on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis to encourage each other in Christ. They are places to take what we know about Jesus and help each other begin applying that knowledge to our everyday lives. Each one of our groups takes on a shape of its own, defined by the personalities and engagement of the group members and leaders. We hope that no matter what group you join, it will be a safe, trusted place for you to find hope in Jesus and encouragement from his disciples. Life Groups are for everyone, every stage of growth, including new believers and someone considering following Jesus. Begin the process today by clicking this link below and filling out this brief form so that we can help connect you with a group that best relates to you.
