				Vision Statement 
				“We seek to be a church of 
				excitement and celebrative worship that the people of greater 
				Charleston want to attend;  not just because we offer heart-felt 
				ministry, excellent programs, and the opportunity to develop 
				healthy Christian relationships, but because the real presence 
				of Christ is evident.”   |  | 
				
				Welcome 
				to Elk River Nazarene Church where our doors are wide open to 
				children, youth, and adults of all ages and backgrounds. We are 
				committed to the whole family in helping you grow in your faith 
				with Jesus Christ, to build healthy relationships, and deal with 
				life's challenges.    
				At Elk River 
				…we think going to church should be an event that the whole 
				family looks forward to. We are far from perfect, but our church 
				family is friendly and really cares about making new friends.  
				We try to 
				present relaxed, informal, and uplifting services, with the 
				worship and messages being relevant, positive, and life changing 
				so that you can enjoy life to the fullest.   No matter where you 
				are on your journey, you matter to God... and you matter to us. 
				Elk River is a place where people are loved, accepted, forgiven 
				and encouraged.  Whether you are investigating the claims of 
				Christianity, have an intimate relationship with God or are 
				somewhere in between, our desire is for you to personally 
				connect with God.  We want to help you discover how to be a 
				whole-hearted follower of Jesus Christ. We look forward to the 
				opportunity to meet you 
				at…

				River!”
