children’s ministry
Jesus placed a high priority on kids and knew they were the building blocks for the future generations. To fulfill that call, we offer an exciting, faith-building, children’s ministry to promote spiritual growth in a safe and caring environment. Our desire is to partner with parents to nurture and encourage a genuine walk with Jesus!
Every Sunday Morning from 9:30-10:25 am during the first service, your child can join us for Sunday School; a fun time of interactive, age-appropriate, Bible lessons with other peers in their age group, K-6th grade.
From 10:25-10:45 am, we provide a Kids Cafe Time where they can play games, fellowship with other kids, and enjoy a snack.
At 10:45 am during the second service, we have a Children’s Worship Service for Kindergarten thru 5th grade.
We also provide Nursery for infants and toddlers and Preschool classes on Sunday mornings during both services.
We have many other activities throughout the year, such as: Wednesday Night Activities at 6:30pm, Fall Fun Fair, Spring Fling, VBS, and Summer Camp!

youth ministry
wednesday at 6:30pm & sunday at 10:45am
At The Table, we are passionate about students encountering Jesus. Our weekly gatherings on Sundays and Wednesdays focus on connecting students with God and each other. Our core ministries of Bible Quizzing and Youth Band help students grow in their walk with God and in their friendships. Our camps, retreats, and other events honor God by creating space for students to decide how they will live and who they will follow.
On Sunday mornings, we gather during second service at 10:45am up in the youth center. You can count on a quick game, worship, a brief message, and time in small groups. This is a great time for meeting friends and growing deeper faith!
On Wednesday nights, we get kicked off with worship led by our youth band! This group of students leads up into the presence of Jesus before we take a break to play games and have some fun before more worship and then a message. This youth service makes a big difference to help students refocus on Jesus in the middle of busy weeks!
young adult ministry
The shift from high school to the next stage of life can be challenging as well as exciting. We want to partner with you and make sure you have times to connect, have fellowship, dive deeper and make a difference for Jesus in this world. Our desire is to help you grow in confidence and take on the journey God has for you. Whether that is going through college, navigating single life or what it means to be a young married couple with children we want to journey with you to better understand what it looks like to live a transformed life for Christ.
We have two Sunday School classes for young adults that meet at 9:30 every Sunday morning.
The Bridge: The Bridge is a class for anyone new at this “adulting” thing. Everyone from post-high school to college seniors are welcome to join us! Solid biblical teaching and discipleship help build a stronger bridge between us and God.
Voyage Sunday School: We are a group of young adults seeking to learn more about what following Christ means to us, using scripture as our guide. We cover a wide range of topics, each of us bringing a different perspective due to our various life stages—single, married, parents, non-parents, recently graduated to in the thick of mid-life—and learning from the Word and each other.
We want to journey with you through life and one of the best ways to do that is by joining a Life Groups. We have three Life Groups that will be meeting this year. We have College & Career, Men’s, and Women’s Life Groups. For more information on our Life Groups email Pastor Adam at adam@yourchurch.org.
Meet us at The Well, on Wednesday nights at 6:30, where we discuss how our stories intersect the story of God. It will be a time to go deeper as a community and discuss where God is leading us. We meet on Wednesday nights for a time of fellowship, worship and discussion. This is a very informal environment for you to come and allow God to fill your cup.
We want to support you, college students, while you are going through your school year. Click on the Adopt a College Student logo to fill out the form so you can be adopted this year.

prime timers
Our world needs grandparents and senior adults who model godly characteristics, demonstrate virtuous living, and mentor those coming after them in the Christian faith.
Through Prime Time Ministries, the Church of the Nazarene is responding to the large and growing group of mature adults within the churches and communities we serve. Mature adults are vitally important to our church. Within this group can be found “spiritual scholars” who have valuable resources which are vital to the health and growth of our local church ministries. Among these resources are wisdom, experience, traditions, stability, spiritual maturity, and love for their church and church family. New levels of longevity, health, and vitality – as well as discretionary resources and time – are also found.
The Church of the Nazarene recognizes the tremendous contribution mature adults have already made during their lifetimes for the sake of the local program. Further, Prime Time Ministries emphasizes the great ministry potential that still resides with this group. Our ministry is not only focused on ministry to mature adults, but ministry through and with them as well. It is certainly true, among mature adults as much as it is among other adult groups, that adulthood is a journey, not a destination.
adult Bible fellowship
Adult Sunday School… Really?
It is a difficult world out there with family issues, financial worries and career decisions. Let’s face it; life is stressful. Psalm 9:9 says, “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” We believe that promise is true, and it is our hope that you find a place of rest and a stronghold here at RCN. One way is to join an ABF (Adult Bible Fellowship) class and share life with people that love and care about you. The options for you include a variety of classes in which you can grow in your faith and fellowship with others. There are smaller, more intimate classes, as well as larger gatherings. Some of the classes follow the Nazarene quarterly material, while others are topical in style, covering contemporary issues. Each are led by gifted tachers that love and care for their groups. Take a moment and click on any of the class names in the submenu and find a class that appeals to where you are in your Christian walk. Whatever you are looking for, we have a class that is perfect for you!
worship team
Music has been an expression of praise almost since the dawn of creation. In the Old Testament you can read where the choir lead the people of God in worship. And in a day where many churches are dismantling choirs, we believe there is something significant about a body of people whose task is to help lead others into the presence of God
The Worship Leading Choir
Here’s an opportunity for anybody that can carry a tune and has a heart for worship! Along with our orchestra, RCN’s Worship Leading Choir is the primary worship-leading group on Sunday mornings.
From this larger group, special opportunities for small ensembles, trios, mixed quartets, acapella groups, etc., are given.
RCN’s Worship Leading Choir rehearses Wednesday nights from 6:30 – 7:30 pm in the Worship Center
Band and Orchestra
RCN’s Band and Orchestra not only brings its own special inspiration to the church family, but also provides wonderful opportunities for musicians to use their instrumental abilities in making music to the glory of God. The orchestra participates Sunday mornings as a part of worship experience at RCN. Musicians must have a high school or greater ability.
RCN’s Band and Orchestra rehearses Wednesday evenings from 7:30-8:30 in the Worship Center.
marriage ministry
Marriage Matters is a ministry that strives to promote and strengthen Christ-centered marriages that reflect God’s love by the way husbands and wives love each other and the way they live their lives.
Through the Bible studies, events, retreats, and serving opportunities, couples grow towards each other as they lean into Jesus.

Talking with a counselor is basically sitting down and discussing an issue or question about your life. No concern is too large or too small. As a general rule, both Christian counseling and secular counseling share the same desire to help people overcome their problems, find meaning and joy in life and become healthy and well-adjusted individuals, both mentally and emotionally.
As a Christian pastoral counselor, my philosophy is to move through the steps of change with people by helping them recognize where faulty thinking has them in bondage to the lies of the enemy. Together, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will uncover those lies and replace them with God’s truth. We will work together to identify the root cause of unhealthy mental, emotional, spiritual issues.
I understand that change is difficult and can be frightening. I will walk alongside you on your journey to discovering who you are in Christ. Together we will get to the place where transformation can happen. My commitment to you is to extend the grace of God every step of the way to spiritual and emotional well-being and help you know that you are a precious child of God.
