Welcome to Ocean View

Ocean View United Methodist Church is a Lighthouse Congregation of the North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. Lighthouse congregations are committed to: Worship, Discipleship, Mission, Sacrament, and Pastoral Care. Our church identity has always been tied to our location on Oak Island, where we enjoy the protection and glow of the Oak Island lighthouse nearby.
We welcome ALL by providing varied Worship services, Discipleship through small group studies and multiple Mission opportunities for outreach, witness and nurturing our church family. The Sacrament of communion is offered to ALL who wish to receive it and Pastoral and Congregational Care is available to those in need of it.
Our mission statement, “To be a lighthouse for ALL to make disciples of Jesus Christ. To love, prepare and serve from the sand and the sea.” tells our story and our purpose. You are welcome here.
