FELLOWSHIP LUNCHEONStay, be fed, and be part of this beautiful continuation of our service. At Pioneer Ocean View UCC, our worship doesn’t end with the final blessing—it continues as we gather around the table in fellowship and community. We believe that sharing a meal is a sacred act, a reflection of God’s abundant love and our commitment to extending an extravagant welcome to all.
Just as families pray and break bread together, we invite everyone to join us after worship for a meal prepared by our generous volunteers. It’s a time to deepen connections, welcome new faces, and continue the spirit of worship through conversation, laughter, and shared nourishment.

MUSIC
Choral and instrumental music has an important place at POVUCC. Our choir prepares anthems for worship services and seasonal events. We also have guest musicians who share their gifts with us in worship from time to time.
-
COMMUNION
Just as Jesus broke bread with His Disciples, we honor this tradition and break bread with one another during the first Sunday of every month.

CHILDREN
Children are welcome here! At POVUCC, we truly believe that we are "Better Together." For this reason, children join us in the Sanctuary for our worship, with their own unique "Prayground" area for learning, listening, and worshipping alongside the adults and teens.
