2011 Giving Tree

There’s no better time to share the love of Christ than during the season of giving, Christmas. Open Door is supporting families for Christmas who are in need. You can help in two ways: 1) you do the shopping and wrapping; or 2) financially with a cash or check donation and we do the shopping. Look for the ‘Giving Back’ Christmas tree at the Information Center.

City Outreach Day

If you were here this past Sunday you heard about our new initiative we are launching this year called City Outreach Day.  

It's a chance for us to unite as a church and reach out to our community and serve. 

We will be partnering with several of our Community Outreach Partners and our city to help make a difference. 

Our City Outreach Day happens on April 9 and you can sign up by clicking here.

We are also excited to be having a Food & Supplies Collection.  

We gave out a list on Sunday of needed supplies and we have updated that list online.

We will be collecting all items on Sunday, April 3.  You can view the updated item list by clicking here.

Check out the video below to hear our heart behind why we believe it is so important to reach out to our city with acts of service.

GroupLink

 

We believe the best place for life change to take place is within a small group, or as we call them at ODM, LifeGroups.  In a LifeGroup people read and study God's word, pray together and develop relationships with each other.  These relationships are so important because they help us develop community with one another, and without community, we can never be all that God has called us to be.

The primary way we connect our people with groups is at an event we call GroupLink.  Held in our main auditorium, we setup environments for groups to form and develop.  At GroupLink, we don't place you in a group, you choose your own.

GroupLink is for anyone looking for a men's, women's or couple's group or anyone currently in a group but ready to change.

If you would like to attend our next GroupLink which will be Sunday, January 30th at 6pm, please click here and fill out the form as completely as possible.

We are excited about you being a part of our LifeGroup Ministry.  

It's gonna be our best year yet!!!

Giving Back

This Christmas, the ODM family had an amazing opportunity to give back to our community in a big way.

Hope of Glory Ministries gave us four families in our community who were in desperate need of help this Christmas.

The ODM family showed up in full support to lend a helping hand!

Check out the video below to see their response to this need!

 

During this season of love and joy, may we all remember the incredible sacrifice that was given to us by Jesus Christ!  May we spread His love and joy through our community and world!

Merry Christmas!

Prison Ministry

We have seen God do incredible things in the hearts and minds of the inmates that Eric Diaddorio and his team minister to every month.

We recently got a report from them that on a recent visit, 37 men rededicated their life to the Lord!  

We are so excited and grateful for what God is doing!  

If you are interested in joining this team, please contact Miriam Wamer at 321.2486.
