Online Services

It started in the Year-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named (2020). We stopped gathering in-person for public health, but that certainly didn't stop our worship. Teaming up with Washington UCC in Cincinnati, OH (washingtonucc.org), we created a Facebook Group, A Place Of Grace, to facilitate services for both churches. 


And hey, we've kept it going! For people unable to attend an in-person service or interested in checking us out, Pastor Joe records video sermons, and Rev. Melissa Stephens (Pastor) regularly writes enriching posts with food for thought.


Visit A Place Of Grace



  • Easter Sunday, 2024

    Praise the Lord, He is risen! We'll see you Sunday, March 31st at 10am for Easter Sunday service at the East Butler YMCA!

  • Christmas and New Year's Services

    December 24th and December 31st we will have service at the same time, same place -- 10am at the East Butler YMCA in the yoga room.

    December 24th will be a classic Christmas service, complete with candles! No worries if you have family things going on, but if you're able to make it, our door is open and we'll save you a seat! We know this can be a tough time of year for some, so please feel welcome to join us for worship and fellowship, even if it'd be our first time meeting you.

  • New! August is Nexus VBS Month

    In August, we're goin' back to VBS! Each service will feature topics and stories those of us who grew up going to Vacation Bible School during summers will fondly remember. But who says we have to really grow up? It's a sermon series that will give many of us a dose of nostalgia while also being kid-friendly. Hope to see you there! (And feel free to color on one of the pages offered. Plenty of crayons to go around!)

  • Faith Alliance back to school program

    We're participating in the Faith Alliance's annual Back To School program in conjunction with Reach Out Lakota.

If you are unable to buy and bring items to church, there is an online donation option at https://reachoutlakota.networkforgood.com/projects/192700-back-to-school-program-2023

    UPDATE ON A PLACE OF GRACE

    As you know, Nexus and Washington UCC collaborated on creating A Place of Grace on Facebook during the worst of the pandemic, sharing online services and building a wide-ranging faith community.


    Pastor Aaron has been public about his ongoing health challenges, which will force him to step away from ministry for a time as he tries to find an equilibrium with new treatments.

    Nexus will continue to provide a weekly, recorded service at A Place of Grace (and also on our Nexus Church UCC Facebook page) while Washington UCC goes through the process of charting its future. We are committed to continuing to work together to nurture our online faith community and our two churches. You can find A Place of Grace at: : https://www.facebook.com/WonderfullyMadeRadicallyLoved/
