Missions
Our Prayer
This is a Breakthrough Prayer that Church of the Open Door has committed to pray for the next ten years. As we prayed this through 2020, God has led us to focus on the Nyamwezi people of Tanzania. We are excited to continue to pray and watch what the Lord will do!
Missionary Care
Women's Missionary Fellowship
We currently have two WMF groups that meet: one gathers on the third Wednesday morning of each month, and the other on the third Thursday evening. Both groups meet in the Hillside Room here on campus, and exist to encourage and celebrate our missionaries in many ways. The meeting typically includes a devotional focused on missions, a time of prayer for our missionaries, and the chance to hear from a missionary speaker.
Come be part of this fun and faithful group!

Ed & Judy Underwood
Recentered Group was organized as a 501c(3) to provide a platform for Judy and me to equip and encourage churches, church leaders and missionary teams to develop sustainable ministries by recentering their priorities to Jesus’ Great Commandment and Great Commission. We do this through consulting, mentoring, teaching, and writing. It started out as a part time adventure, but God is now calling Judy and me to this work full time, applying the lessons we’ve learned in over four decades of pastoral ministry. Our heart is to help churches get healthy and thrive by equipping leaders to make disciples and helping them build high trust cultures where leaders love one another well.
