Your time in Oceanside may be brief. Your place in the church does not have to be.
Military life can bring relocation, deployment, separation from family, loneliness, and added strain on new relationships. Our congregation is multigenerational, active, and eager to welcome people who are new to Oceanside.
We want to offer friendship, encouragement, worship, prayer, and opportunities to grow in faith during your time here. You may participate at your own pace, whether you expect to be in Oceanside for several months or several years.
Worship with us Sunday at 10 AM.
Worship blends traditional and contemporary elements through varied music, prayer, Scripture, and Christian teaching. Guests are warmly welcomed without being singled out or asked to introduce themselves publicly.
Talk with someone about what military life is asking of you.
Deployment, relocation, separation from family, loneliness, and strain on a new marriage or relationship can be difficult to carry alone.
A pastor or church leader can arrange a conversation, listen to what you are facing, pray with you, and help you consider a healthy next step.
