We are excited to support our friends at Second Chance as they launch their 2026 journey through the steps. The new series, titled 12, dedicates each month to one specific principle of restoration.

Whether you are part of an OC community or looking for a place to begin your own "second chance," there is a seat saved for you.

Join the journey on Sundays: 📍 89 Avondale Ave ⏰ 10:30 AM

This Sunday, we are launching our 2026 journey through the 12 steps, dedicating each month to one specific principle.

We’re starting January with Step 1: "We admitted we were powerless... that our lives had become unmanageable."

We’re pairing this launch with a Second Chance story of restoration. Join us to hear how God meets us in our most honest moments of need.

Whether you’re in long-term recovery or just realizing you need a fresh start, there is a seat saved for you.

See you Sunday at 10:30 AM!

Today is International Body-Mind Wellness Day!

At Open Church, we know that true wellness often starts with a single step toward healing. We are proud to be a collective that supports each other through every season of health—mental, physical, and spiritual.

When we talk about "walking beside people on their healing journeys," we mean the whole person. Today is a beautiful reminder to slow down and check in with yourself.

How is your heart? How is your mind? How is your body feeling?

Take a deep breath today. You are seen, you are valued, and your wellness matters.

A new year is like a fresh page, and we are so excited to see the stories God will write across our communities in 2026.

Open Church is a collective of many communities, each with a unique voice but one shared heartbeat: to walk beside people on their healing journeys. As we step into this new year, we celebrate the growth, the resilience, and the hope found in every corner of our collective.

May this be a year of breakthrough, inclusion, and deeper connection for you and yours. We can't wait to see what’s next!
