About The Open Door Church

The Open Door Church, Khojewala, located in Kapurthala district of Punjab, India, traces its origins to the late 1980s. Ministry activities that later led to the establishment of the church were initiated in 1989 by Bishop Dr. Sant Harbhajan Singh, a native of Khojewala.

In 1991, the formal establishment of the church took place. Over time, it developed as a local center for Christian worship and community gatherings. In 1996, a formal management committee was constituted to oversee administrative and organizational functions.

As attendance increased, the church infrastructure was expanded, including the construction of an approximately 8,500 square foot hall, followed by an additional expansion of around 7,500 square feet in 2012. Ongoing discussions have focused on the development of a larger church complex to accommodate future needs.

Bishop Dr. Sant Harbhajan Singh

Bishop Dr. Sant Harbhajan Singh was the founder of The Open Door Church, Khojewala, located in Kapurthala district of Punjab, India. A native of Khojewala village, he initiated Christian ministry activities in 1989 during a period when organized Christian congregations in rural Punjab were relatively limited.

Through regular religious discourses and prayer gatherings held within the village, he laid the groundwork for what later became The Open Door Church. In 1991, he played a central role in the formal establishment of the church, which gradually developed into a local center for Christian worship and community gatherings.

Bishop Dr. Sant Harbhajan Singh provided religious leadership and guidance to the congregation until his passing in 2011. Under his leadership, the church expanded in both attendance and infrastructure, becoming a recognized place of worship within the region.

His contributions formed the foundation for the church’s continued activities, administrative structure, and community engagement in the years that followed.
