the corn of heaven."

Open Door's Missionary Department spreads the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by visiting those
who are sick, homebound, or in hospitals, institutions, and shelters.
Also, complementing the wide variety of services provided by the Church, Open Door hosts discussion and
fellowship groups: Men's and Women's fellowship groups. These are two separate groups organized
to provide an atmosphere for men and women to discuss everyday living problems, such
as jobs, family problems, substance abuse, relationships and other issues in a supportive
environment. Participants can fellowship in these groups while helping each other as
they look for both natural and spiritual answers to questions. Men's Followship: Wednesday: 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Women's Fellowship: Friday: 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
