21 Day Fast

  • Big House Church at the Open Door (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In a world that’s constantly pulling for our attention, the prayer life of Jesus stands as a beautiful invitation to slow down and reconnect with the heart of God. Jesus—God incarnate—spent much of His time in prayer, seeking the Father for intimacy, direction, and alignment with His will. His disciples observed this and were moved to ask, “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). This simple request captures the longing of every follower of Jesus—to live a life of prayer, one that is purposeful, passionate, and deep.

Our heart for this year’s 21-day fast is simple: to clear space in our lives for God by replacing distraction with devotion. We plan to do this by committing to:

Our Offices are Moving!

  • Big House @ the Open Door (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

For the last two years we’ve been blessed to have our office at the original “big house” where our church was born. While our new sanctuary and large building on Virginia Beach Blvd are still very much under construction, we have completed the Annex building on the property and will be moving our offices and some weekly meetings to the new space.

The first floor of the building will host Open Door Chapel for its Sunday and Wednesday meetings every week. The second floor will be our new office home as well as a space for the prayer room, small groups, RTF meetings and eventually Living Room.

We are in a time of “now, but not yet” as we take new ground at 3177 Virginia Beach Blvd while waiting for our new home to be finished. We are excited and expectant as we breathe new life into this property gifted by Open Door!

We invite you to join us as we close out this chapter at the original “big house”, savoring and remembering the testimony of God’s faithfulness. Check the list below for our final meetings at the house.

Our offices will be closed October 28-31 for the moving of all the things. Then we will reopen on Monday, November 4th in our new space at 3177 Virginia Beach Blvd (access on the left side, second door).

If you have any questions or want to process this transition with any of our pastoral staff, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We love you and we’re in this together ❤️
