OPEN seeks to make visible what is often invisible - the progressive Evangelical expression of faith in the United States; to resource the groundswell of churches, leaders, organizations and people who are expressing a just and generous expression of Christian faith; to create pathways of connection and belonging among existing and emerging churches, individuals, organizations and networks of those who represent Progressive Evangelicals, Post-Evangelicals, Non-denominational and Free-church traditions and all who wish to live in progressive Christian ways.

Our philosophy on 'who can join' is pretty simple - anyone who wants to be in, is in.
