IT'S EASY TO FIND US!!

WELCOME!

 

The Ocean View Presbyterian Church is a congregation focused on growing in the faith and living out that faith in mission to others and to each other.  Not content with simply reciting doctrine, we have committed ourselves to looking into the Scriptures so as to uncover the ongoing story of our faith.  We seek to be a part of that story.  The congregation as a whole, and each of its committees, is actively engaged in doing mission, and on communicating in real ways the good news of Jesus Christ. 

 

Ocean View Presbyterian is a historic church, dating back to 1856.  We have a long and proud tradition, but seek to take that tradition and move into the future with it.  We also have a wonderful friendship and fellowship with each other that can been seen and felt in all aspects of ministry here.

 

We all invite you to be a part of our life and ministry.

Join us on June 7th for an evening of fellowship as we watch

'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel'.  We join a group of seniors from Britain lured by a wonderful website to a new retirement home in Inda.  Upon arrival they find it is nothing close to what was advertised but perhaps with a bit of patience and a willingness to adapt, this journey will prove to be a transformitive experience.

The Worship Committee  meets monthly to plan and execute worship services and all areas that pertain to worship at OVPC.  The committee includes the pastor, chair of greeters, chair of ushers, flower committee chair, membership chair, an elder, organist, and members-at-large.  We look at the past services for what was done well, and then look at the upcoming services to plan.  We end the meeting by choosing the hymns for the next 5-6 weeks.  All are invited to join us as we seek to enhance the worship of this congregation in ways that encourage all of us to worship God joyfully and with reverence.  Learn More

It was a wet start to the annual Crop Walk but nothing could deter the team walking for Ocean View Presbyterian - We had a great time being together and raising funds to help fight hunger worldwide and in our own community.  Thanks and Blessings to all who supported us!
