Vision:
Open Door Baptist Church is an autonomous church organized under the Headship of Jesus Christ and the administration of God's Holy Spirit. We stand firm on the authority and sufficiency of the Word of God and the foundation of historic, Biblical fundamentalism. We gather together corporately to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to exalt and glorify His name and to proclaim His Gospel to a lost and dying world. It is our delight and duty to gather together as His body for mutual edification and encouragement until He comes.
History:
Open Door Baptist Church was started in 1974 when a team of young pastors and their families from Dallas, Texas, felt God's call to start a church in Oregon. After meeting in the Rockwood Grange Hall for four years, property was purchased in Troutdale and the first building was erected which housed an auditorium, offices and classrooms for both the church and school. Through the years, more classrooms, a gym and fellowship hall, and a larger auditorium have been added. Our ministries have also expanded. We are excited about our newest ministry, Pacific Rim Missions, which will be based in the Philippines to help educate, encourage and train indigenous pastors to reach their homeland and beyond.
