About Our Church

Our doors are open to anyone who wishes to be a part of our services. You are welcome, no strings attached. You do not have to be a baptist to attend. Just come. 

We believe the Bible to be God’s Holy Word. It is the center of our ministry. From it’s pages we find all the answers to life’s toughest questions and the solutions to life’s greatest problems. 

We use the name Baptist because it links us to a group of people who down through the ages have held to a simple belief that what the Bible says is literally true.

We believe the Church is the “Body of Christ” (I Corinthians 12), having Christ for its head and each member as a functioning part. 

History of our Church

Since the first service of Open Door Bible Baptist Church in October of 1992, Pastor Pete Montoro has endeavored to preach the Word of God and to lead God’s people in obeying Him. As the church took its first steps, an earnest search was ongoing to find a permanent home for the believers to assemble. A vacant synagogue became the “Miracle on 35th Street” in 1996 through a series of miraculous provisions. God alone would receive the glory in the coming years as the church body grew in numbers and spiritual strength. Countless lives have been reached, hundreds of missionaries have been supported, and the sphere of influence continues to spread to other boroughs as churches are planted and others revived.
