About Us

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God and the only standard for the life and conduct of God's children (2 Timothy 3:15-17).

We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as God existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable, but indivisible (Matthew 28:19; Col 2:9).

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, very God and very man (Lk.1-26-35; Jn 1:1,18) We believe that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one can come to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). We believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of Christ on the Cross, by which we obtain remission of sins. (Eph 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11).

We believe that Jesus Christ is the healer of the sick and diseased (Matthew 4:23).

We believe in water baptism by immersion as an act of obedience and a public confession of faith (Matthew 3:13-15; 1 Peter 3:18-21).

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation, frequently evidenced with tongues, prophecy, boldness, as the Spirit gives utterance and the fruit of the Spirit (Acts 2:4; 8:14-17; Gal 5:22-23).

We believe in the present day expression of the gifts of the Spirit as mentioned in 1 Corinthians, chapters 12-14 and manifested in the Early Church.

We believe in the ministry of laying on of hands for healing and impartation of the gifts of the Spirit (James 5:14; 1 Timothy 4:14).

We believe in the present day operation of the five-fold ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher for the perfection of the Church, as well as the local governmental ministries of Elders and deacons (Eph 4:11; 1 Tim 3; Titus 1; Acts 6).

We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again in glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 1:7)

Open Door Christian Fellowship is located in the heart of London, Ontario, Canada. At Open Door we seek to encourage fellowship with Christians of all backgrounds. The members of our fellowship come from many different church backgrounds, and have a passion for seeing lost souls saved, and believers sanctified. We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God! God seeks worshippers who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. Here at Open Door Christian Fellowship we seek to do just that.
