Variety . . . that’s what you’ll find when you visit our services!  But one thing you should expect in every one of our services is a personal, uplifting worship experience.  Our services are geared for participation.  We typically worship as we live, with enthusiasm.
 
Bible Classes For All Ages
Sunday mornings includes  Sunday School or Christian Education. Personalized classes divided by age, grade and interests serve individuals from infants through senior adults.
  
Child Care  
A nursery is provided for infants and toddlers. This loving, comfortable atmosphere helps show children at the earliest ages that church is a good place to be. Child care also frees parents for worship and reduces distractions during services.
  
Children's Worship
Bible-oriented activities are provided for preschool and elementary-age children. At this level, young children are taught to sing, pray, and learn important Bible truths. T (See our Ministries section for other monthly children’s ministries available.)
  
Youth Worship Services  
Each Sunday night our students meet at 6pm. The  service is geared for the specific age group with dynamic praise & worship, exciting dramas and creative messages. They’re sure to leave with a different view about God.
  
Music  
Music is a major feature of our worship, before, during and even after the service itself. Whatever the accompaniment; inspired singing is the order of the day. Music will include both congregational and special ministries – solos, duets, ensembles, choirs, instrumentals. makes music more than a performance; it’s the music of worship.

Our 10:45am  traditional service in the church sanctuary  includes traditional hymns, hand-clapping gospel, along with our choir piano, and organ

Our contemporary praise at 8:45 features modern praise and worship pulling from today's top Christian Co Instruments (fsynthesizers, guitars,  electric bass and drums).

 
  
Worship Experience 
Our services may include quiet times of waiting in God’s presence, spiritually savoring the sacred atmosphere.  Other times may be vocal as worshippers are invited to worship with love and adoration to God in our praise and worship segment of the services. In everything, a flow of worship is evident. No sincere worshipper need feel out of place
  
Prayer
A special time in the service is devoted to prayer. Needs from inside and outside the church family frequently are made known.
 
  
Giving 
During the service, tithes and offerings will be received. More than a collection to pay church bills, this too is worship.  We believe that giving declares that God comes first. It recognizes His blessing, expresses faith and seeks His guidance in every matter in life. The ministries are supported solely by free-will giving. However, visitors need not feel obligated to give. Your presence is gift enough.
  
Challenging Messages  
The high point of our services comes with the preaching of God’s Word, the Bible, and an invitation for hearers to respond. The messages are fervent, inspiring and practical.
  
The pastor may close with an invitation for those who need forgiveness in their lives to come forward and accept Christ as Savior. Those who feel a need to re-dedicate their lives to Christ or to pray about other concerns are also invited to come. Believers are encouraged to ask God for the baptism in the Holy Spirit to further empower them for Christian service. Often everyone is invited to come and pray during the altar service.
  
Deep emotion and excitement may or may not be demonstrated at the altars in a service, but everyone who calls on God in faith receives something.
  
If you’ve wondered what a Nazarene service is like, we invite you to observe and experience God’s joy and peace. And when you visit us, come expecting!  Expect a move of God not only in the service, but also in your life. We think you’ll agree that the comfort, help and strength He gives are better experienced than explained.
