Our Mission
Where Jesus Welcomes Sinners
We are a church family who joyfully gather in the presence of the Triune God of grace: to hear his voice in the Word, to receive his love in the sacraments of baptism & communion, to pray for his blessing on each other and the world, to grow in Christ.

About Oceanside United Reformed Church
At Oceanside United Reformed Church, "welcome" means much more than just an invitation—it’s the heart of our faith. Jesus welcomes us as we are, and through His grace, He transforms our lives, one step at a time.
We know that visiting a new church can be both exciting and overwhelming, but we hope this website helps you find your place here. Whether you're new to the faith or seeking a deeper connection, we invite you to join us in worship, dive into God’s Word, and experience the warmth of our community.
The Gospel
Jesus is front and center in all we are and do as a congregation. God saves sinners is the message of Scripture and Jesus is the Savior of the world. Every Sunday we hear his voice in the preaching of the “gospel” (good news), celebration of communion, singing and praying in his name, and extending love to any and all who find their way to us.
Worship Together
Experience meaningful worship that is saturated with Scripture, utilizes ancient patterns of prayer, sings three thousand year old Psalms, theologically-rich hymns from the Christian tradition, as well as contemporary praise. We do this in a space where the intergenerational family of God comes together and children participate alongside grandparents and parents in a shared faith.
Grow in Faith
We take the Bible seriously. We don’t just say we believe it’s God’s Word, we practice it. Sundays and all gatherings are full of the reading and preaching, teaching, and discussing the Word. Together, in community and prayer, we grow up in our faith.
Belong to a Community
Here you will find fellowship with a diverse people from many tribes and tongues, from many backgrounds, of all ages and places in life. We all belong to a church family. With a pastor, elders, deacons, and congregation, we practice a meaningful membership where we seek to love and support one another.
Be Transformed
Encounter the grace of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. He welcomes sinners and promises to change sinners’ lives from the inside out.
Hospitality
We are a hospitable church, looking out for newcomers to welcome into the family. We also express hospitality in our homes every Sunday, so expect to be invited in to share a meal with us.

BELIEFS
“And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching...” (Acts 2:42)
Theology (what we believe) is taught by God, teaches of God, and leads to God. As a “confessional” congregation we believe having written statements of faith are valuable in a time of “mile wide, inch deep” Christianity. As a "confessing" congregation we continue believing these statements are relevant and necessary.
We’re Christian
With the church in all times and in all places, what we believe finds its source in God's revelation of himself to humanity: the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Old and New Testaments—the Holy Scriptures.
As a Christian church rooted in history, we identify with the “orthodox” (meaning, “right teaching”) and “catholic” (meaning, “universal”) creeds the ancient churches confessed—the Apostles’, Nicene, Chalcedonian, and Athanasian Creeds. These creeds confess the mystery of the one true God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and who in time creates, redeems, and sanctifies. They also confess the mystery that the Person of the eternal Son assumed to himself a true human nature and so exists as one Person yet in two natures with two wills.
We’re Protestant
As churches rooted in the Protestant Reformation, we confess the truths of Scripture and the ancient churches against the abuses of the medieval Roman Catholic Church. We confess that the Triune God made an eternal plan in which the Father demonstrated his love for a sinful world by sending his Son to become a man and that by the work of the Holy Spirit sinful humanity is brought back into eternal fellowship with their Creator. Thus, sinners are saved from eternal wrath only by God’s grace alone, which we receive through faith alone that is placed in the perfect person of Jesus Christ alone.
We’re Reformed
As Reformed churches (in distinction from Lutheran churches), we also whole-heartedly believe what are called the “Three Forms of Unity”—the Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, and Canons of Dort. Their truths were confessed by all the Reformed churches of the 16th-17th centuries in other confessional documents we esteem such as The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, Second Helvetic Confession, Westminster Confession, and Westminster Shorter and Larger Catechisms.
We’re Confessing
While we stand upon the shoulders of our theological forebears, we continue to be confessing churches that proclaim the truths of the Word, using creeds and confessions in our contemporary context.
