Daily Drop-in and Crisis Ministry

As well as offering the programs outlined below, The Open Door provides befriending, prayer ministry, referral counselling and fellowship every day except Sunday. We minister daily to people of every age and walk of life. Many are experiencing unemployment, marriage breakdown, abusive situations, homelessness, illness, bereavement, loneliness and despair. In the midst of this we have many stories to tell of God's grace and love for His people. What an opportunity we have to reach out in Jesus' name to all who come!

Information Center

Looking for a church or programs within the Christian community? We have a map of Mississauga showing all the churches, colour-coded according to the denomination, and information folders for each one. We can also provide you with information on some of the vast resources available to and within the Christian community - such as camps, retreat centres, courses, youth groups, mothers' groups, etc.

Food Cupboard

We can usually provide a few days worth of emergency supplies for those who need it. When someone comes for food, we regard it as a symptom that something isn't going well for them. We try to befriend them and find out how we can be of further assistance.

Prayer and Bible Stories

Prayer and bible stories are held on Wednesdays at 12:00 (noon). You're welcome to join in!

Library

We have a good selection of Christian books you may borrow, free of charge.

Tape Ministry

Music and gospel teaching tapes in many different languages can be listened to here or borrowed for friends and family.

Chapel

Spend a quiet moment in our peace-filled little chapel in the midst of a hectic day. People are available to pray with you if you wish.

Intercessory Prayer

Friday mornings we spend in intercessory prayer for the work of The Open Door and for the city of Mississauga. We open at noon on Fridays. We also take prayer requests.

Christmas Dinner

The Open Door hosts a free sit-down turkey dinner, followed by a time of fellowship, a play, and Christmas gifts for those who would otherwise be alone or hungry.
