What is Sunday Worship Like?
We want you to feel at home at Oregon City Nazarene! Our services contain a mixture of worship music styles and encouraging messages that are Christ centered and applicable to every-day life. Our worship services are designed to focus our attention on Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords and His gospel as a practical plan to realize victorious living. Our passion and purpose is to bring glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ as we meet together in weekly praise and worship and to learn of God’s love and promise for our lives.
We believe that God calls us all to community together! So our worship services each week begin with us all together in the same space. During the covid pandemic we have kept children with their families through the worship service. When we do open children’s church back up, kids will be with their families through the worship set and then be dismissed together to go to the gym for a kid focused message.
Do You Have a Midweek Service?
Yes, adults meet in the sanctuary on Wednesday nights at 6:00 pm for Bible Study. Children meet Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00 pm in the main gym and teens meet in the Teen Center (lower level of the gym) from 6:00-7:30 pm every Wednesday.
