“...You make me glad by Your deeds, Lord;
I sing for joy at what Your hands have done.
How great are your works, Lord, how profound Your thoughts!”
—Psalm 92:4-5
Welcome to Elk River Church of the Nazarene
We are delighted that you have chosen to worship with us today! It is our desire
that you will experience a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and learn to walk
daily in His teachings. We are excited to help equip all who desire to become
dynamic and fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ!
Special Moments: As you depart our sanctuary at the close of the service, please
give consideration to those who have gone forward for prayer concerns or who may
have made a personal decision to follow Christ today. Information for Parents: We offer several ministries for your little ones. Tiny
Tots (infant to age 2) is our nursery located just outside the sanctuary. Little Tykes
(2-3 yrs), Celebration Station (3½ to 5 yrs) and Big City Studio (1st through 5th
grade) are located on the middle (office) level. Your children will be given the
opportunity to hear a message that will apply to their lives and help them grow in
the knowledge of Jesus in a safe and caring environment. Get Connected! You will find information on various ministries at Elk River,
upcoming events, and other opportunities that will help you get connected at the
welcome center located in the main foyer as you exit the center doors of the
Sanctuary. There are always an abundance of events, service opportunities within
the church, community missions opportunities, as well as small groups that have an
open invitation for you to become involved! There is a place for you at Elk River!
