We are excited to welcome a new pastor to Paulding Church of the Nazarene! Pastor Doug and Ellen Shilts will be hosting their first service at PNAZ on January 4th, 2026. We hope to see you and your family there for the service at 10:00AM and welcome dinner following at 11:15AM.

A message from Pastor Doug & Ellen:
We are truly honored and excited to join you on January 4, 2026, as your new pastoral team. From the moment we first connected with Paulding Church of the Nazarene, we sensed God doing something special here, and we are grateful for the opportunity to be part of it.

Our heart is simple: we love walking through life with people. We celebrate the joyful moments, stand with you in the challenging ones, and help create a church where everyone feels seen, valued, and welcomed. We believe church should feel like family, and we can’t wait to grow in that together.

We can already feel the anticipation building for what God has ahead! We’re stepping into this with open hands, expectant hearts, and a deep passion to serve this community with love and joy.

We are praying for you, cheering for you, and can’t wait to worship with you, dream with you, and discover together what God has in store. Thank you for the warm welcome, you’ve already made us feel like family.

The best days for PNAZ are ahead, and we’re excited to take this journey with you! Love God - Love Others.

With love and anticipation,
Pastors Doug & Ellen Shilts
