A Welcome from the Pastor
We are excited that you are interested in learning more about Tidewater Central! You may be asking “What on earth is a Nazarene?” That is a great question.
We have three core values here at Tidewater Central:
- First, we are followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
- Second, we believe in Holiness living. The Bible teaches us to be holy, because our God is holy.
- Third, we are called to be Missional. The Christian faith isn’t just about ourselves, it is about reaching and impacting our lost world.
These cores values drive all that we teach and do at TCN.
What to expect
At Tidewater Central, you will find individuals who come from many different denominations. You will find people who dress formal, and some who dress more casual. You will find people of all different ages. You will see hands lifted in praise, and people praying at the altar. The Holy Spirit is here at TCN, and we invite you to be as well. We will do our best to make you feel right at home.
– Pastor Jacob Snyder

Get Involved
Tidewater Central Church is not a place for spectators. It is a place for disciples to build disciples. Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandmother, a busy mom, or a businessman with big responsibilities, we want you to be a part of our vibrant church community. Join one of our many Bible study groups, or find a ministry that works for you! Here are ways you can learn, serve, and grow at TCN.
Contact us for more information about any of Tidewater Central’s Ministries.
Children's Ministry
Each Sunday morning and Wednesday evening, children get to participate in their own classes. Bible lessons are taught in such a way that every child gets to participate and learn. Each of the class teachers are carefully screened and trained in children’s instruction. Sunday evening is the time for children to practice quizzing for Bible quizzes scheduled throughout the school year for our Virginia Nazarene District. The children’s wing of Tidewater Central is an exciting place to be, with Beth Stacey and her helpers!
Adult Ministry
Tidewater Central has various events through out the year. Whether it is Women's groups, Married Couples, Military Ministries, or the JOY Club (Just Older Youth). You have the opportunity to disciple and be discipled.
Discipleship Groups
Often, small groups of people are better able to interact and learn about a topic than larger groups are. For that reason, Tidewater Central Church of the Nazarene has small Bible studies held on Sunday mornings, as well as a variety of times and days throughout the week.
Young Adults
Life can get complicated once you cross that nebulous threshold into adulthood. There are complicated decisions, bigger stakes, serious relationships, and a whole lot more decisions. Find your niche in one of the styles of groups at TCN.
Youth Ministry
Our teens enjoy a time of fun, praise, worship, and scripture Sunday and Wednesday nights. The teens share a lot of laughs, tears, struggles, and successes, as they study together, pray together, and plan special events together.
Nursery
If you are interested in assisting with our Children’s Church or Nursery, we have a special place for you, during the school year and the upcoming summer! Come and be blessed by our children!
Music
Tidewater Central’s worship music provides a beautiful blend of traditional and contemporary songs to set the tone for Sunday morning worship. If you want to share your gift by joining the Worship Team or providing Special Music for Sunday morning, we will get you in contact with our Worship Director, Rhona Hands. There is always room for vocal and instrumental talent at TCN!
