How long is the morning service, and what will happen during it?
Our Sunday morning Worship Celebrations typically run from 10—11:15 am. The service is casual, come dressed however you feel most comfortable. We have folks in jeans and t-shirts, and folks in three piece suits. God does not care how you are dressed, He just wants you to stop by His house for a visit.

Our music is upbeat and very eclectic. We have a talented band and worship choir that lead us in vertical worship with everything from hymns to rock, bluegrass to jazz—the focus is on an audience of one—God.

The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. Stop by the Common Ground coffee area for a cup of joe and a pastry. You will find our folks are happy to be at OHN—and eager to welcome you home to “A Place to Belong ~ A Place to Become”.

Where will my kids go?
Preschool—Cherub Church
The preschool ministry of OHN, Cherub Church, is a fun place for your children to learn biblical truths. Our goal each weekend is to capture your child's imagination, intrigue them, and set them on a course of discovery. When your child arrives, they will be greeted by one of our preschool volunteers. These leaders have been carefully screened and are committed to the safety of your child. All of our workers have a passion for kids, and we can't wait to meet you and your children this weekend!

Youth (Grades 7-12) - OHYEAH
We’ve heard every excuse for students not wanting to come to church. It’s boring….I won’t know anyone….all the people who go to church are nerds. We’re ready for every one of those excuses. We've made the OHN student ministry a place where your student will not only have fun but will grow in character and mature spiritually in the process.

Each element of our student ministry has a unique flavor crafted to make the most impact on those students. Every week your student will experience God through music, media, and relevant teachings.
