I'm New

Open Door Baptist Church | Kent, WA is a place where people can meet Jesus,  engage in life-giving community, and everyone is welcome. We believe in creating a space where people can have authentic encounters with Christ, discover their gifts and use them for God's glory. Join us for our Sunday services!

Open Door is not just a name, but a way of treating people.  Our doors are open to everyone, and you ’ll find love and a friendly greeting when you walk through our doors.  In a world that can be harsh and unforgiving, we think of Open Door as our shelter from the world and the troubles that surround us throughout the week.  It is the place where we can be with people that care for each other, share the same heart for God, and love people as the Lord does…unconditionally!

At Open Door, the Bible is front and center.  You will find practical Bible lessons in every class, for every age group.  We stand on the Bible as our only authority for life and faith, and Pastor’s messages are filled with uncompromising, relevant, helpful Scripture.

Open Door has a heart for people of all backgrounds, ages, and ethnicities.  We have people who have attended church all their lives, and people with no church background.  We have a mix of young and mature.  We celebrate the countries and cultures of the world.  At the last count, we have had people from 102 different countries visit our church!  You will find that no matter how you look, where you have been, or where you are now,  you will feel at home here if you simply have a desire for spiritual growth.

While we are passionate for the Lord, we have a happy and excited,  yet relaxed atmosphere.  We know some people don’t want to stand out or be pressured, so you can grab a cup of coffee and just relax and enjoy the service.  During our services, we have heartfelt singing, relevant Bible preaching, and open invitations to respond, but it is up to you how you want to respond as the Lord speaks.

“What should I wear?” and “What is the music like?” are two common questions.  On any given Sunday you will find almost everything in clothing, but the norm would be most of the men wear suits or nice casual pants with a collared shirt, and many of the women choose to wear modest skirts or dresses, but we want you to feel welcome no matter how you dress.  We are the most concerned about your spiritual state!  As far as music, we love to praise the Lord! We are a conservative church and sing mostly hymns along with some good choruses and scripture songs.  It is uplifting and encouraging, but not worldly.
