Men growing as spiritual leaders! The Men’s Ministry at Open Door Bible Church encourages men through having fun and studying God’s word. Men grow stronger spiritually when they grow together.

• Men's Bible Studies are held on a weekly basis for fellowship and encouragement.
• The Men's Service Ministry helps people in the church family who need special help with moving, yard work, home repair etc.
• Men's Retreats are planned each year. Digging Deeper retreats have a Bible study focus. Spring Retreats focus on fellowship and have included a workday at Camp AWANA.
• Men's Breakfasts are planned on one Saturday every other month from October through April.
• The ODBC Softball Team is a great place to have fun and fellowship and get to know other men from Open Door. The two teams from Open Door finished 1st and 2nd in 2004 (but who’s bragging?).
• Sports Nights are an opportunity to play basketball during the winter months in order to meet and get to know each other – and burn some calories.
• Living in the Light meets twice monthly to give men the opportunity to share their struggles with, and victories from addiction. The focus of this group is to help men rely on God’s strength to daily win the battle over addiction. Meets every other Wednesday.
• Other Special Events: Various men's events are promoted and coordinated by the men's ministries, such as the fall Pig Roast, golf outings and attending the Men's Conference at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
