Local Board Meeting Monday

Every DOOR city is run by a local board of directors. Each local board sends two representatives to the National Board. It's a complicated and intertwined system but relationships always are and we believe mission does not happen apart from relationships. If you're on the local board, we'll see you Monday. If you'd like to serve on the local board, please contact our chair, Orlando Redekopp, Pastor of First Church of the Brethren, Chicago.

Happy New Year!!!!!

With a new year here that means spring is just around the corner. Yes it's freezing outside now but before we know it birds will be singing and flowers will start blooming! If you want to have an awesome spring break from school, work, life why not take a bunch of friends on a road trip and hit up a DOOR city for a week of service learning. 
Some of the best spring breaks I had were with friends doing service projects.  You can use your spring break to learn a new city, gain experience, make new friends and best of all, help neighborhood initiatives, schools, agencies and ministries in their mission. 
There are many ways you could use your time away from school and even if you're not traveling away on your spring break week why not spend time at various local agencies in your own town. May God bless all of you who give of your time just to make someone else's day bright.
