Who We Are
Our Beliefs
At The Door Church we believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
Salvation
Human beings are saved by God’s sovereign grace alone; that salvation is a gift of God through faith in the finished work on the cross of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus shed His blood to accomplish justification through faith, propitiation to God, redemption from sin, and reconciliation of man. This gift is offered freely to all who repent of their sins and trust Christ’s substitutionary atonement on their behalf fully. Those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are freed from condemnation and given eternal life.
Church
The body of Christ is a living spiritual body composed of all regenerated believers of whatever race or nation. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.

Tithing in the Old Testament
Abraham's Tithe: The concept of tithing can be traced back to the book of Genesis when Abraham offered a tenth of his spoils of war to the priest Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-20). This act is often considered a precursor to the formalization of tithing.
Mosaic Law: Tithing became a more structured practice under the Mosaic Law. In Leviticus 27:30-32, the Israelites were instructed to give a tenth of their crops, livestock, and income as an offering to the Lord. This tithe supported the Levites, who were responsible for the religious duties of the community.
