Here’s the deal…

 

We do things a little differently around here…

 

We know it can be a little weird or even awkward visiting a church for the first time…

 

That’s why we created Plan Your Visit.

 

When you sign up for Plan Your Visit we’ll:

 

✅ meet you at the front door

✅ help you get your kids checked in

✅ introduce you around to a few people

✅ save you a good seat

✅ we’ll even sit with you if you want (so you don't have to sit by yourself)

 

We want to make your first visit as easy as possible, and actually take time to get to know you and your family.

 

Pretty crazy idea, right?

 

Will you come hang out with us this Sunday?

 

Just click on the Plan Your Visit button below and schedule your visit for this Sunday!


You might be wondering, what it's really like at Oceanside First Presbyterian Church and Preschool? Simply stated, we are all about Jesus. 

Here you won’t be met with, guilt, or condemnation and we don’t care how you’re dressed, what tattoos you have or don't have or even who or what you voted for.

Our church is made up of imperfect people (just like you) with every kind of story imaginable who are all loved by God. We think you just might fit in pretty well.

When you arrive you will receive a warm greeting at our Sanctuary doors. There is a modern atmosphere with both contemporary and traditional worship music and relevant Bible-based teaching that seriously adds to your life...

Plus Pastor Mike is pretty funny too .

Feel free to come as you are, dressed up or casual, suit or shorts, the only thing that matters is that you come and enjoy what Sunday was designed for. That is why we created Plan Your Visit.


We want to make your first time with us as smooth as possible and actually have a few moments to get to know you and your family.

It's a crazy idea right?  You are worth getting to know well.

Will you come and hang out with us this Sunday?

Hi, my name is Mike
I believe that you are created to pursue an authentic relationship with God and it is in that relationship with God that your life can take on real purpose and significance.

Only with God can you fulfill the purpose he designed you for. You are here to help demonstrate God's love to our very broken world.

I am one of those guys who is crazy enough to think that we can, with God's help, change the world as we live into God's purpose of demonstrating his unconditional love to the world.

You can find your purpose, you can grow your faith, you can find your tribe.
