Philippians 3:14
"I press toward the mark for the prize...
of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
The Apostle Paul wrote this to the Philippian church. He had found true satisfaction in a life lived in knowing God in a personal way through His son, Jesus Christ.

Meet Our Pastor
After serving the LORD at the River Valley Baptist Church in Ansonia, Connecticut as the founding pastor for 18 years, the LORD called Pastor Norman Aabye and his wife, Priscilla, to Saegertown, PA to begin a new phase in their life of service for God.
In 2006, they founded C.A.R.E. Ministries, a specialized mission work among numerous nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and Alzheimer care units in Northwestern PA and Northeastern OH. The Aabye's have operated their ministry out of Open Door Baptist Church since that time.
In 2012, when a vacancy occurred in the pastorate at the church, Pastor Aabye was voted in as the new pastor. Having over 35 years of pastoral and evangelistic ministry experience, Pastor Aabye's emphasis is on solid, biblical teaching and preaching with a view towards personal growth in the lives of believers.
Pastor Aabye is a 1987 graduate of Colonial Hills Baptist College in Danbury, Connecticut. The Aabye's have one son, Jason, six grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.
