Open Door RVA

What happens when our preferences and traditions become more important than God’s Word?

In this message from Mark 7, we’re challenged to examine the traditions we hold, recognize the difference between biblical truth and personal preference, and learn what it looks like to give one another grace.

A healthy church isn’t one where everyone does everything the same way, it’s one where God’s Word is our authority and we make room for one another.

What an incredible week at Lava Lava Luau VBS!

From worship and Bible lessons to skits, games, and crafts, every day was filled with fun and opportunities to grow in our faith. We also had an amazing Boys vs. Girls Offering Challenge and raised over $600 for Operation Christmas Child, helping fill shoeboxes with Christmas joy and the hope of the Gospel for children around the world.

Thank you to every volunteer who gave their time and support to make this week possible. We couldn't have done it without you! Seeing these kids worship with such joy, grow in their faith, and develop a heart for missions was a beautiful reminder of what God is doing in the next generation.

Have you ever felt like you've tried everything and still come up empty?

If Jesus could use fishermen and tax collectors to take the Gospel into the world, then He can use us, too, when we surrender to Him. He does the work. He provides what we need. His Authority is greater than our ability.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrated the women who shape our lives in so many meaningful ways. From mothers and grandmothers to mentors and caregivers, and every woman who pours love and strength into the lives around her, we are grateful for the lasting impact they make each day. 💐

Some seasons don’t make sense while you’re in them.
The waiting. The “no.” The unanswered prayers.

But what if it’s not about the outcome…
What if it’s about learning to trust Jesus in the middle of it? Your anchor isn’t in the outcome. It’s in Christ.

If you’re in a season of waiting or wondering why, this one’s for you. Watch the full message:

Open Door Baptist Church Storms With Purpose

Our women's ministry hosted a wreath-making workshop with The Freckled Flower Farm, and it was a beautiful time together. There’s something special about women coming together to slow down, create, and just be in community. If you’ve been looking for a place to connect with others on your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

Growth isn’t just about the seed—it’s about the soil, as well. If your faith is growing, what kind of soil is it in? This message unpacking Mark 4 might hit closer to home than you expect. Watch here:

Jesus didn’t come to play nice with darkness. He came with authority, and yet some people still missed who He was.
