What should I expect at Oceanside on Sunday Morning?

When getting ready to come to church feel free to dress comfortably at Oceanside . You’ll see some people in jeans and t-shirts and some in ties. Most people dress in between those two. We have 1 service at 10:30 AM. 

Oceanside currently meets in the new Whitesides Elementary's Performance center. Turn into Oceanside where you see the large welcome flag. All the parking is located behind Whitesides. The entrance to the school/church will be in the back. Follow the signs leading to the parking area. It's cool if you would like to drop off the family and then park. There is a convenient circle located right next to the entrance that will allow you to do that. 

           When entering the entrance door there will be a person there to greet you. That person will hand you a worship folder that will include announcements, a sermon outline, and information about our church. They will also hand you a prayer card (Use your prayer card to give requests to the pastor later in our worship service if you’d like). Please be sure to visit Guest Services for additional information about Oceanside.

            Inside,  Oceanside has a warm. Adjacent and to the right of the vestibule are our pre-school and nursery rooms. The nursery and children's service will be well designated. Feel free to ask for help if you can't find them.  At the OC Cafe will be free breakfast horderves, juice, and coffee. To your left will be our worship center.

            Inside the worship center there is a stage area and seating. You’ll notice people from all walks of life, religion, and race. Feel free to sit down and read the announcements on the screen or listen to the worship music playing lightly in the background.

            Oceanside enjoys family worship. Our services will start right at 10:30 AM. We start with an opening song or two, have a greeting time and then go into prayer where we pray for the different needs of people in our church. Our music style is contemporary Christian worship and includes groups such as Passion, David Crowder, Kutless, Hillsong and Gateway Worship.

            After the musical worship time Pastor Trey will begin his message. Pastor Trey believes in passionate, relevant, and practical messages. His messages last about 30-45 minutes and include videos, demonstrations and many creative elements.

            At the end of the sermon, the pastor invites anyone who would like to make a further commitment to Christ to come to the front and pray. You will see some people taking advantage of this time as they kneel and pray. Others take the time to pray in their seats. Some will come forward and give their offering in the silver colored plates that are located at the front of the stage. We will also pass the offering plates for those who would like to voluntarily give to Oceanside Church.  Our service last from 10:30AM and 11:45 AM
