Military
Bless the Lord, who is my rock, he gives me strength for war, and skill for battle. He is my loving ally and my fortress, my tower of safety, my deliverer. He stands before me as a shield, and I take refuge in Him. He subdues the nations under me.
Psalm 144:1-2
In today's world of long deployments, frequent training exercises, and a transient lifestyle, military families need a ministry more than ever that understands what they are going through and can give them the support they need and deserve. WCC is committed to support our soldiers and their families as they serve our country and sacrifice for our freedoms.
The Military Ministry at Woodlawn Community Church of the Nazarene serves our congregation and the military community through endeavors that support families on the home front and soldiers serving abroad.

Nursery
Our nursery ministry consists of newborn to toddling age (approximately 15 months). Nursery care is offered during Sunday Morning Worship and Sunday Evening Small Groups. The goal for our Nursery Ministry is to provide a safe and loving atmosphere for babies so that parents will feel secure in leaving their child while they attend worship. It is a pleasant place where fussy children are held and soothed and adults speak in gentle and loving tones.
Our toddler ministry
is for children 15 months to 3 years old. Toddler care is offered during the Sunday Morning Worship and during Sunday evening Small Groups. We want to partner with parents to introduce little ones to their first ideas of Jesus. Together with parents we can lay the foundation of trust and Christian love.
Our cherub ministry
is a place where 3 and 5-year old children enjoy a time lead by caring parents and adults who use fun curriculum to teach important Biblical truths. We provide a place where children play and learn about Jesus. Cherub care is provided Sunday morning and in our Sunday night Small Groups.
Sunday School
We offer Sunday School classes for 3 years through 5th grade every Sunday Morning in the 9:30 hour. Each class uses a creative Bible based curriculum and is taught by a loving and trained teacher with a heart for the age they teach.
