Welcome

Welcome to Brazil Naz. It is our sincere hope that you feel God's presence in our services and Christ's love in our people.

Information about the church, our ministries, upcoming events, and more can be found at brazilnaz.com.

We’d also love the opportunity to get to know you better. Whether you are new to the faith or have been a Christian your whole life, we want to be by your side along your spiritual journey. Please complete a Connection Form so we can keep in touch.

For our families with children

If you have children, we have several offerings for all ages.

On Sunday mornings, volunteers are available in the nursery for children up to age 3. A room is available for nursing mothers, too. Both rooms are located next to the Sanctuary near the west entrance.

Children ages 3-5 who are potty-trained can attend Wee Worship in the northeast classroom. Wee Worship offers playtime and learning activities.

Children in school up to age 12 can attend Children's Church. Children's Church offers lessons that reinforce Biblical values and principles. Children's Church is in the room next to the Library.

Once a month, we have a Family Sunday when children stay in the sanctuary with their family.

Church Board Meeting

Sunday, May 5 at 1:00 PM in Pastor’s Office

Our church has been hosting a community event over the last few years. We have provided a staff appreciation luncheon for our neighbors, East Side Elementary. This luncheon will be held on the school’s field day, Thursday, May 9. Would you like to help bless our community? The luncheon includes a variety of salads with chicken/ham salad sandwiches. This year we are having sheet cakes for desserts. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board. We will be serving about 40 people. If you can come and help serve at the luncheon, you can sign up for that as well.

New connection missionaries

Nate and Hope Owens, our previously assigned connection missionaries will be returning to the United States this summer. So, our district has been assigned a new missionary family to finish out the calendar year. They are Mark and Jazz Eugenio who serve in Bangkok Thailand. Information about them can be found on the bulletin insert. Please keep the card and use it as a reminder to pray for this family.
