The Open Doors Team believes God’s love for the world is an active and engaged love, a love seeking justice and liberty. We cannot just be observers. This approach encourages us to welcome, support and affirm all persons. Our faith helps us think and act out a culturally humble mindset. We strive to apply our faith by living out our baptismal vows to resist evil, injustice and oppression.
