About Us

 

 

Love's Door is not really much about us.  It is mostly about the children we are serving. And about you who are reaching to them. That is what Love's Door is here for – to join your hands with the hands that are too weak and dejected to imagine that they could ever really have a hand to hold. So if you are ready to join hands with one of these children, we invite you to put your picture here along with the picture of the ones you are reaching.

 

 

Love's Door is a ministry of Open Door Community Church, in Sheridan Or. The vision sprang from this amazing group of people and they continue to provide oversight, office space, helpers and lots of support and encouragement.

 

We also have a Board of Directors who make all the decisions and set the course for the ministry.

Nick and Kim Walton – Nick and Kim are parents of a delightful little Claire. They are currently house parents at the Mandate Schools, part owners in the Slow Train Coffee Shop, and Nick does some carpentry on the side!
