We All Invite You to be a Part of our Life and Ministry.

The Ocean View Presbyterian Church is a congregation focused on growing in the faith and living out that faith in mission to others and to each other. Not content with simply reciting doctrine, we have committed ourselves to looking into the Scriptures so as to uncover the ongoing story of our faith. We seek to be a part of that story. The congregation as a whole, and each of its committees, is actively engaged in doing mission, and on communicating in real ways the good news of Jesus Christ.

Ocean View Presbyterian is a historic church, dating back to 1856. We have a long and proud tradition, but seek to take that tradition and move into the future with it. We also have a wonderful friendship and fellowship with each other that can be seen and felt in all aspects of ministry at OVPC.

Shaped by God, We Love and Serve

May our gifts be a source of light, in a world that has learned to love darkness

Each of you should give as you have decided in your heart to give. You should not be sad when you give, and you should not give because you feel forced to give. God loves the person who gives happily.

(2 Corinthians 9:7, NCV)

The April Mission Project

Sponsored By Our Mission Committee

Read Aloud Delaware

Think about your early childhood years, were you read to, did you have books available for you? By supporting ReadAloud Delaware we can provide children in our community a chance to build larger vocabularies and to create a greater knowledge of the world around them.

ReadAloud Delaware’s mission is to create a life-long impact through early childhood literacy.
ReadAloud Delaware’s vision is for every child in Delaware to have the foundational literacy skills needed to succeed in school and life.

ReadAloud Delaware Sussex County Director Ms. Stacy Penaranda will be our guest speaker at the congregation dinner, 5/31/2024 in Memorial Hall. The Deacons are pleased and proud to once again support this organization.

Please prayerfully consider giving to the April mission offering. If you write a check, please write Read Aloud Delaware on the memo line.

OVPC Is More Than a Church

In 2003, the congregation of OVPC brought a dream to life and opened Memorial Hall - fully funded by the members by the generosity of their spirit and the fierce dedication of their time and talents in fundraising efforts. The purpose of this hall was never meant to be strictly for use by the church, but, a place for our community that can be rented for extremely low rates so that their non-profit groups could have a place to meet. We have a great many HOA's that meet on our campus as well as other community service groups and recovery/support groups. If you are looking for a place to meet, please visit our facilities page or contact the church office directly. We would be delighted to host your organization!

Our historic sanctuary, our most holy space, is also available for weddings, funerals, and memorial services .
