What to Expect.

LifeStream is a Nazarene church, a denomination with roots in the Wesleyan-Holiness movement. Basically, we believe God has a higher call for your life! We believe through God’s grace and the blood of Christ we can receive forgiveness and have an intimate relationship with God, but it doesn’t stop there. God continues to call us deeper through the Holy Spirit leading us to the image of the Son.
 
What to expect:
 
Join us Sunday mornings at 9AM for Sunday School, a time for focused lessons and Bible studies before the service (the appetizer if you will). Grab a cup of coffee, a doughnut, and enjoy digging deeper into the Scriptures discovering how God’s Word applies to us here today.
 

Following Sunday School, at 10AM we will gather in the sanctuary for our  Worship Service joining in traditional and contemporary worship, prayer, and listen to a sermon given to us by Pastor Vince Crouse.

 

Schedule of Sunday Services:

 9:00 AM – Sunday School for all ages 10:00 AM- Worship Service & Children’s Church 5:00 pm – OverFlow (youth)

Meet our Staff Members

Although Vince was raised in northern Baltimore County he lived in Massachusetts for 36 years. He has earned a Master in Counseling Psychology and a Master of Sacred Theology.

He and Diane have been married for 31 years. They have two children. Their daughter Katelyn and her husband Junior, have two sons, Drew (age 5) and Caleb (age 3). Their son Michael loves being an uncle and sharing life with his nephews.

Vince has previously ministered as a staff pastor, senior pastor, district staff and most recently as chaplain at his alma mater, Eastern Nazarene College. He is very excited to be returning to pastoral ministry at LifeStream. He loves providing pastoral care, connecting with others, encouraging spiritual growth, and serving with others in building the Kingdom of God.

What Vince enjoys most is being with his family, especially his grandsons. He loves a good laugh and is drawn to learning, whether it is about people, education or just exploring a new interest.

His life verse is 2 Timothy 1:12b “I know who I have believed in and am persuaded that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.”
