Nazarene Ministries





CONNECTING PEOPLE THAT CARE
WITH CAUSES THAT MATTER



There are many ways to get involved at Nazarene and volunteering your time is a great place to start. There are opportunities greeting people before Sunday worship services, leading the morning liturgy or reading the scripture in worship, hosting refreshments after worship, joining one of our ministry teams or getting involved in community events . . . whatever personal gifts you bring will make a difference in the lives of others.



The Messiah’s Children Liturgical Arts Praise Dance Ministry





Birthed in 2010 for youth ages 5-25. The group ministers on the 3rd Sunday of each month at the 11 AM service, periodically at other local churches and have even been invited to dance with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company.


Meeting on Friday evenings, in addition to dance rehearsal, they have discussions around a myriad of issues that currently affect young people today including self-esteem, finances, education, peer pressure, gun violence, anti-bullying and activism.


Their primary focus is youth asking the question, "How is God speaking to us and how do we answer that call?"
