Noble Assembly of God, a Pentecostal congregation carrying the motto "The Church With A Heart," sits on the south side of Post Oak Road on the southeast edge of Norman, about five minutes south of the University of Oklahoma and a quarter mile off Highway 77 East. The church at 100 W Post Oak Rd serves the small town of Noble and the surrounding Cleveland County communities with Sunday worship, Wednesday night programming, and a full slate of children's and youth ministries. From the Sanctuary to the Zone Room to the nursery, the building fills up several times a week with adults, students, and kids.
Sunday Morning Worship at 10:30
Sunday morning worship begins at 10:30 AM. The service opens with a time of praise and worship, preparing hearts to receive the message from Pastor Steve Lance. The preaching is rooted in Scripture, and the church has walked through long series drawn from books of the Bible like Journey through John and Jude, The Grave Robber, The Blessing of the Holy Spirit, Stewardship, Revival, and ReMARKable, along with topical series on marriage, prayer, fasting, communion, the Holy Spirit, and water baptism. The worship team leads a contemporary, Spirit-empowered style that fits the church's Pentecostal identity, and the music flows into a message that often lands somewhere between deep Bible exposition and practical Christian living.
While adults gather in the Sanctuary, children have their own program. Kids ages 4 through 12 head to the Zone Room for a service that includes powerful praise, puppets, games, and a deep dive into God's Word in a fun, energetic setting. A nursery is provided for infants through three-year-olds, so parents can worship without distraction.
Wednesday Family Night
On Wednesday evenings, Noble Assembly opens the whole building for Family Night, a single midweek gathering with a class, a program, or a place to play for every member of the household. Adults meet in the Sanctuary for a worship service and Bible study. The youth group takes over the Zone Room, and children split into smaller groups by age and gender:
- Rainbows for 3- and 4-year-old boys and girls
- Daisies: The Sonshine Club for kindergarten girls
- Prims: The Discovery Club for 1st and 2nd grade girls
- Stars: The Fun Club for 3rd through 5th grade girls
- Ranger Kids for kindergarten through 2nd grade boys
- Discovery Rangers for 3rd through 5th grade boys
- Nursery for children age 2 and under
Each class uses curriculum and award systems designed for that age group, so kids move up together through a structured discipleship path. The Wednesday night program is the main midweek touchpoint for the whole family, and it gives parents one night a week to plan around.
Sunday Evenings for Teens at 5:00 PM
Middle and high school students have their own program on Sunday evenings at 5:00 PM. Royal Rangers and Girls Club for Teens brings 6th through 12th graders together for an hour of age-appropriate teaching, with adult leaders walking through the curriculum and teens earning patches and medals for their accomplishments. The group splits by gender and grade:
- 6th-8th grade girls join Friends: The Where You Belong Club, with discussion-oriented lessons and a necklace charm achievement track
- 9th-12th grade girls attend Girls Only: The G.O. Club, a small group where students work through real-life struggles, fears, and hopes in a safe setting
- 6th-8th grade boys serve as Adventure Rangers
- 9th-12th grade boys form Expedition Rangers
Both Royal Rangers and the Girls Club fit into the national networks of the Assemblies of God, so the badges and curriculum follow a consistent path for teens who move from one Assembly church to another.
Epic Life Student Ministries
For older students, Epic Life Student Ministries is the church's broader youth ministry, grounded in Jeremiah 29:11. The vision is to help young people thrive through adolescence, not just survive it. The program is built around four habits: encouraging students in a lifestyle of worship, connecting them with other believers, teaching them to grow toward spiritual maturity, and equipping them to serve. Adult leaders believe that the presence of God and the equipping power of the Holy Spirit will shape students for life, and they treat the middle and high school years as a formation season that matters as much as any adult small group.
Royal Rangers and Mpact Girls Ministries
On the boys' side, Royal Rangers is a separate track that runs through the week for kindergarten through 12th grade. The ministry is built around four color-coded groups that match a boy's stage: Ranger Kids (K-2), Discovery Rangers (3-5), Adventure Rangers (6-8), and Expedition Rangers (9-12). Meetings, outings, and service activities are designed to develop Christlike character and servant leadership through hands-on, relational learning. Men from the church mentor the boys on a Bible-based, Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered journey toward maturity in the faith.
On the girls' side, Mpact Girls Ministries runs the same age-graded structure. Rainbows serves preschoolers age 3 and up with a Noah's Ark-themed club that uses crafts, full-color activity pages, and games. Daisies for kindergarten girls introduces lessons on believing, giving, obeying, and trusting, with paper-doll characters including Dorie, a hearing-impaired character who teaches memory verses in sign language. Prims for 1st and 2nd grade girls work through a Discovery Box of lesson-related objects, and Stars for 3rd through 5th grade girls complete units in four worlds: The World of Truth, The World Around You, The World About You, and The World Within You. As girls move up, they continue into the teen clubs on Sunday evenings.
Kids Church and Kidz Konnection
On Sunday mornings, Noble Kids Church runs the children's program with puppets, games, Bible lessons, and high-energy praise designed to teach children about Jesus. The stated conviction is that kids are not the church of the future but the church of today, and the program treats the elementary years as a foundational season of faith. The church also lists Kidz Konnection as a separate ministry that is taking applications, which suggests an additional weekday program for children beyond the Sunday morning rotation.
Men, Women, and Senior Adults
Men's Ministries centers on a monthly breakfast and special service projects that help people in need. The men's group is described as a vibrant, team-oriented part of the church that gets together regularly to plan and serve. Women's Ministries has a five-point purpose statement: reaching women through the transforming love of Jesus, discipling women to follow Christ, building wholeness and balance through prayer and Bible study, providing space for women to develop their gifts and lasting relationships, and training women to find their place of ministry. Senior Adult Ministries rounds out the adult side of the church with a place for older members of the congregation to grow and serve together.
What the Church Believes
As an Assemblies of God congregation, Noble Assembly holds to the denomination's Statement of Fundamental Truths. The church teaches that the Scriptures are inspired by God, that there is one true God revealed in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and that Jesus Christ is both human and divine. It teaches that, though originally good, man willingly fell into sin, and that every person can have restored fellowship with God through salvation by faith in Christ.
Two ordinances are practiced: water baptism by immersion after salvation, and Holy Communion as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's death. The church holds to several of the cardinal doctrines of the Assemblies of God, including the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as a subsequent experience after salvation, with the initial physical evidence of speaking in tongues, and divine healing for the sick as a privilege provided through Christ's atonement. The church also teaches the Blessed Hope of the rapture of the church before Christ's return, the millennial reign of Christ, a final judgment for those who have rejected Christ, and the new heavens and new earth that Christ is preparing for all who have accepted Him. The church believes in a divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry, and that the church is the body of Christ, made up of all who have accepted God's offer of redemption through Jesus Christ.
Messages, Livestream, and Online Giving
Every week, the church posts audio and video of the Sunday message on its sermons page. A livestream is available for those who want to watch the service as it happens, and the archive stretches back through dozens of series and speakers, including sermons by Pastor Steve Lance, Phil Freeman, and a long list of guest speakers and missionaries. Sermon topics have included stewardship, water baptism, the Holy Spirit, communion, fasting, prayer, family, healing, marriage, the daily walk, missions, and the Christmas story.
For those who want to support the church financially, online giving is available through EasyTithe.
