The Mission:
We believe our mission is to glorify God by equipping His people
to change their local, regional, and world by raising up/sending
workers to the harvest fields of the world and planting churches
with a world-changing vision.
How Can We Accomplish This?
•
We will help God's people discover their individual gifts and
callings and then create an environment where these gifting's and
callings may be developed. We will prepare them to be salt and light
in their neighborhoods, their work place, their community and the
world. Our Home Groups (house churches) are designed to allow this
goal to be accomplished.
•
We will help people build loving relationships, strong marriages
and families where people can fulfillment and expression regardless
of age or marital status.
•
We will assist, train, prepare, and support individuals, couples,
and families to
"go make disciples of all nations"
both domestically and overseas.
•
We will focus on and highlight missions at every opportunity.
The Plan
(2000 - 2010)
We see a church filled and empowered by the passion of Jesus,
people who love Him like the Father loves Him. We see a church that
aggressively pursues the advancement of the kingdom on every front
and in every place, unashamed of the gospel and dedicated to sharing
it all over the earth. We see a church that has learned that
"He is
able to do exceedingly abundantly more than they ask or imagine,
according to the power at work in them". We see a church whose greatest joy is to bring Him glory.
Domestic Church
Planting:
Our goal as a church is to plant one church every 4 years until

Missions work/Short
Term Missions Trips:
Our vision for planting ethnic churches is not only
international, but United States focused as well. We want to teach
people about the Kingdom of God, Words and works of Jesus,
discipleship and leadership development, compassion, social justice,
and church planting movements.
We see teams from Open Door Vineyard going into areas that God
has called us to as missionaries to accomplish this vision. It is as
important to see the manifestation of the Kingdom of God here as it
is in other nations.
Some of us will move to neighborhoods
where God leads us to minister. Others will go for short periods,
hours, days, or extended periods of time. Crossing borders is not
the issue, obeying God is. Pray about what God wants you to do.
Youth & Young Adults
We want to give the Youth the opportunity to be equipped,
empowered and used to touch the nations. It is our desire that
through our trips students would get God's heart for all people, a
bigger world view and see that God can use them anywhere. We want to
learn to be a generous people.
Currently we are focusing our trips on a couple of countries,
to build relationships and make a greater impact. These countries
are Mexico and Nicaragua. We will occasionally take trips to other
countries to bless churches and broaden our vision.
