East Gate Church of the Nazarene

About this church

East Gate Church of the Nazarene begins Sunday with a prayer gathering at 9 a.m., age-level groups at 9:30, and worship at 10:30 at 2002 Eastgate Avenue NE in Roanoke. The congregation summarizes its purpose as connect, grow, and serve. Worship and teaching reflect the Wesleyan-Holiness theology of the Church of the Nazarene, including biblical authority, salvation through Christ, grace-enabled holy living, baptism, Communion, healing, and the return of Jesus.

EnCompassed Kids serves children from birth through fifth grade. Nursery care for birth through age three and Sunday School for the full age range run from 9:30 to 10:20; Children's Church meets from 10:30 until noon with large-group Bible teaching followed by smaller age-level discussion and activities. Volunteers use check-in procedures and NazSafe practices. Middle- and high-school students have Connect Groups at 9:30 Sunday and meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday for worship, a Bible lesson, games, retreats, camps, and social events. Missions support Nazarene work through the Alabaster Offering, which funds churches, schools, medical facilities, and ministry centers, and Faith Promise giving for global evangelism. With children, plan for registration before classes; worship-only guests can time arrival for the later gathering.
