L3: Life, Longing, Listening
Worshippers Living for Jesus
Worship is not just a formality but a way of life for those who follow Jesus.
Through worship, we encounter God (grace-filled encounter), experience the power of the Gospel in our lives (Life),
long for God in the world (Longing), and live attentively to His voice (Listening).
At the 2025 Open Door L3 Conference, we seek to deeply explore what it means to live as worshippers of Jesus across all areas of life—church, home, workplace, and society—and pursue a practical path forward within diverse worship settings.

We will host a dedicated AV Equipment Flowing (A.E.F) booth throughout the conference, creating a space for local churches to share their AV equipment needs and technical challenges. This booth will also provide opportunities to exchange practical resources and information.
