Who We Are

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.

Loving God through Worship

A great starting point is to join us on Sunday mornings.

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.

Learning about God through Discipleship

Discipleship training occurs throughout the week as we meet for Bible studies, special events, and small groups.

Everyone has a next step they can take in their journey of faith.

Leading the World to God through Service

Open Door Church has an outward focus, connecting our members to involvement opportunities for the underserved locally and abroad.

With missions and ministries that are local as well as overseas, we know the love of Jesus knows no boundaries.





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.
