Open Arms Christian Ministry

At Open Arms Christian Ministry, we share God's love and wisdom and encourage Christ followers to manifest authenticity and yearn for continuous growth.

Lost people matter to God, and therefore they matter to us.

We operate as a unified community and family of servants with men and women stewarding their spiritual gifts.

We believe that life changes happen best in community and loving relationships should be in every aspect of church life.
