I'm new here
We hope you will worship with us this Sunday at 10:30 a.m. We understand that it is normal to feel a bit uncomfortable when visiting a new church. Our goal is for you to be comfortable and relaxed so that you can connect with God without distractions. We have provided the information below to help you know what to expect, where to park, etc.
What to expect
The worship services at New Vision Church feature lively music, practical and Bible-based messages, and quality nursery and kids programming. You will be greeted by several friendly people, but we will never embarrass you or ask you stand up and tell us your name. Also, while we do take an offering, we don’t expect our visitors to give.
What to wear
We believe that God cares more about what is inside us than he does about what is on the outside. At New Vision you see people dressed casually in jeans, khakis, shorts, and t-shirts. Our pastor and other on-stage leaders may dress up and occasionally wear a tie, but you will not stand out if you are dressed comfortably. We only ask that you dress in a way that will not hinder you or the people around you from focusing on God.
When to arrive
Our worship service starts at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday. Coffee and refreshments are served at 10:00 a.m. and many of our members arrive early to enjoy some food and friendship. It is usually best to plan to arrive a little early so that you can find a seat- it is difficult to worship God when we are rushed. We usually have several latecomers, so if you do arrive after 10:30 a.m., we ask that you just find a seat quickly and try not to distract those around you. We close the refreshments table during the worship service.
We do our best to respect the busy schedules of everyone in our services. You can expect to be dismissed by noon. If you must leave early, we only ask that you leave quietly.
Parking
We have several parking spaces in front of our building and on the north side, along 58 Highway. If you are unable to find a space, feel free to park in the spaces in front of the dance studio to our south, or in the parking lot of the gas station across the street. We have two handicap spaces directly in front of our lobby doors.
When you approach the building, you will notice that there are several entry doors, as our building was originally constructed for commercial storefront usage. For worship services, please use the door marked “Main Entrance”. Please note that the door directly underneath our steeple leads to our office area, which is closed during worship services.
Directions
New Vision Church of the Nazarene is located on the east side of Raymore. If you are coming from U.S. Highway 71, exit onto MO State Hwy. 58 and turn left, proceeding east on 58 hwy for approximately 3 miles. Turn right onto Sunrise Dr. and then make an immediate right turn into our parking lot. If you reach J Highway you have gone about ¼ mile too far.
If you are coming from the east, proceed into Raymore on MO State Hwy. 58, past J Highway, and turn left onto Sunrise Dr., and then make an immediate right turn into our parking lot.
Please be aware that our building is easy to miss. It is not a traditional church building. We have a short white steeple over one entrance, and you will find a sign with our name on the north side of the building, facing Highway 58. Our building is a one-story, brown-brick building on the southwest corner of Highway 58 (also known as E. Walnut St.) and Sunrise Drive.
For your convenience, see the map below. If you prefer to use mapquest, or another online map, our physical address is: 100 S. Sunrise Dr., Raymore, MO 64083.
