What We Believe
Our Mission
At Open Hearts Ministry our mission is to train people to cultivate communities of care where stories of pain and abuse can be spoken, heard and redeemed.
Our Journey Guides have been translated into nine languages, and we have extended care to people from all 50 states and more than 60 countries.
Our process combines teaching and small group (Journey Group) time to help leaders learn how to care well for others and also find words to express what they themselves have often held in secret for years. We are a sending ministry whose aim is to train individuals to facilitate our curriculum and send them out to create their own Journey Group ministries in their churches and communities.
People who have gone through our seminars have said, “The most valuable ministry tool I’ve ever experienced…”, “It was a safe environment and gave me hope.”, “As a result of the healing I experienced, my relationships with God, friends and family are becoming more real, deeper and healthier!”, “The training I received made me a better pastor and leader.”
We Believe
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
