About this church
Decatur West Side Church of the Nazarene begins Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. and morning worship at 10:30, then offers an evening gathering around 5:30. Wednesday Bible study starts at 6:30 p.m. The congregation centers its public message on grace, loving God, and loving one another. Morning worship combines praise, prayer, and a biblical sermon, while classroom discussion gives people of all ages a more interactive setting before the service.
Children ages four through eleven enter a ministry built around both safety and lively learning. Puppet shows, crafts, games, Bible stories, and practical lessons help younger participants connect Scripture with everyday life. Youth and nursery ministries serve the surrounding age groups, while adults have classes and midweek study. Sermons are available online for people who want to understand the teaching before attending. Because the official calendar sometimes lists the evening service at 5:00 instead of the standing 5:30 description, visitors planning specifically for Sunday night should verify that week's event. The morning schedule is consistently published and remains the clearest first-visit option.
