If we look in faith, you may see God’s face in the eyes of another- a man at a soup kitchen, an elderly woman at a nursing facility, a child exiled to a homeless shelter.
DOOR helps groups see the face of God in the city. Through weeks and weekends in the city, participants immerse themselves in urban life, serve in community-based ministries and reflect on the message of the Psalmist:
"God is in the midst of the city" Psalm 46:5
