A Local Church with a Heart for the World
Thank you for visiting our site to find out more about us. Our goal as a church is to make sure that everyone that we come into contact with, whether outside or inside the church, hears the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel is the most important thing we could ever give any one!
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled
Luke 14:23
A Friendly Place to Worship
We are a local Bible-believing, Bible preaching church committed to fulfilling the Great Commission in multiple ways, including door to door soul-winning and visitation, the support of missionaries around the world and around the corner! We have several new and young ministries for you to be a part of. There is also something for the children! There is Children’s Sunday School Classes @ 10am and Children’s Church for ages 4-12 @11am.
You’ll find a traditional service when you attend services with us. We sing the old hymns and have preaching that is Biblical and truthful from the King James Version of the Bible. We would love to have you come as you are, no matter who you are or what you’ve done. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about our church!

Our History
Our History
Our church was originally started in 2013 when Pastor and Mrs. Evans went to visit a church in San Marcos one Sunday morning. No one was there, and the doors were locked. It was a beautiful building and a great location.
After some research and a lot of prayer, they were able to obtain help from several former pastors and decided to restart the church. Some former members and some new people got involved.
The former church was called Lighthouse Baptist Church, but it seemed like a new name was needed. Open Door Baptist was chosen because the pastor was convicted to make certain that the church doors would never be closed again for those who desire to worship the Lord.
