"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." - Jesus (Matthew 7:7-8)
MISSION
CONNECT. GROW. SERVE. Transform lives through Jesus Christ.
Our desire at The Door is for God to be glorified by lives being transformed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is accomplished by providing youth opportunities to CONNECT, GROW and SERVE in real and relevant ways through various events and activities during the year that are designed with the youth’s best interest in mind. We consider a youth anyone in the 7th-12th grade age range.

THE DOOR

We meet in The Annex (Room 108 &109) for our large group gathering where we experience multi-sensory worship along with solid, biblical teaching and discussion that is relevant to the culture in which we live. We also grow together in creative fellowship through different challenges and games.
TRIPS & RETREATS
Throughout the year we have many engaging fellowship events and activities such as concert trips, retreats, and other experiences that spur on discipleship. Stay connected through our blog for updated information on how to sign-up and current events.
GROW
PURSUIT LIFE GROUPS
(September– May)
Our small groups are designed to give youth the chance to connect and grow deeper in community with one another while growing closer to Christ through intentional and purposeful discussion as we wrestle with life’s tough questions. We meet in various locations throughout the community, separated according to their age and led by covenant members of the church.

SUNDAY MORNING SERVE (SMS)
Sunday Mornings (9:30am)
We gather in The Annex (Room 108 & 109) for a lesson and devotional that will encourage growth in Christ and afterwards look to connect and serve our local church body in various ways such as teaching, welcoming, ushering, sound and other service opportunities.
SMS is led by covenant members of the church. Please feel free to join us at any time throughout the morning.
SUMMER CAMP
For one week every summer we have a unique opportunity to deepen our relationship with Christ and each other in a summer camp experience. The elements and environment we encounter challenge us to pursue Christ and community like never before.
