BAPTISM
Baptism is cause for one of the greatest celebrations in the life of the church. When we see someone being baptized, we’re seeing the work of God in a person’s life. It is an exciting time!
MEMBERSHIP
Membership at OVCN signifies your commitment to be a part of our faith community and all that God is doing through our church. Membership class provides all the information you need to know about what we believe as the Church of the Nazarene, why we believe it, and the vision and core values that drive our day-to-day ministry activities.
WORSHIP
Our Sunday worship services are designed to challenge and encourage you in your walk with Jesus. Coming together as a community of faith every Sunday gives us the energy we need to face our week. Authentic worship and biblical teaching will equip and inspire you to be a difference maker for others as you serve Jesus.
GROUPS
At OVCN we believe we are “Better Together”. Our small group focus ensures that you will have people around you who help you grow deeper in your faith, provide accountability, and give support when you need it most. There’s nothing more assuring than knowing you have people who will be there for you, no matter what.Â
SERVING
You are a difference maker! There are opportunities for everyone to serve at OVCN. Whether you’re able to teach a class for kids, help us brew some coffee, be a part of the choir, or help during the week with various ministries, we have a place for you! We encourage everyone to find a place to serve because your service helps to provide the experience others need to grow closer to Jesus.
MISSIONS
We want everyone who calls OVCN home to look outside the four walls of our church. We desire to be the hands and feet of Jesus to people in need in our own neighborhoods, and across the globe. We are a missions-minded church! Opportunities are available to serve in our missions effort year-round. Everyone is challenged to be a part of OVCN Missions.
GIVING
Worship is living our lives in daily devotion and adoration to God. Giving our offerings to the church is as much a part of worship as prayer, meeting on Sundays, and serving those Christ calls us to serve. So as believers, we give offerings from a position of humility and sacrifice for the sake of both our nearby community and our global neighbors.
SHARE
We all have a story to tell of how we came to know Christ and how He continues to move in our lives. Let us help you tell yours, sharing your story can be the catalyst that will lead someone else to Christ.
LEAD
OVCN leaders provide environments where real life and community can thrive. They lead and facilitate spiritual growth through authentic relationship building and the study of God’s word. Leading is NOT about being perfect, it’s about serving and encouraging others. Take the Next Step of leadership and see how God can use you!
