Missions
As part of the Church of the Nazarene we believe in local and global missions.

For more information visit: Nazarene Missions International and Nazarene Compassionate Ministries.
Worship Ministry
Our worship is carefully planned, and full of meaningful symbols and practices that point us to Christ. Worship themes are chosen along with the Christian Calendar, and with scriptural themes in mind that connect with the discipleship life of the church and the sermon. Music is at times traditional, other times contemporary, and always connected to scriptures being studied that day. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved. If you are interested in reading scripture, singing or playing and instrument, participating in the choir, operating sound and video, helping with offering and communion, etc please contact Pastor Jeremy Smallwood.
