WELCOME!
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 been seen and felt in all aspects of ministry here.
We all invite you to be a part of our life and ministry.
The Rev. Kerry R Shull

AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE SOUTHEAST SUSSEX MINISTERIUM
Join us on May 3rd for an evening of fellowship as we watch 'I Am'. This film, set in modern day Los Angeles, and framed around the Ten Commandments explores the consequences of our actions and the far reaching affects they may have. We follow the cast as their lives intersect because of the choices they make, each joined by a mysterious stranger, offering guidance but never judgment – but will they come to trust in the wisdom being offered?
