    • Sonia, Go to the side bar on the right side of this page and look for a picture of a church with the title, “Ready to visit? Find a local Church of the Nazarene.” Click on it and it will take you to the denomination local church search which will give you all of the details. I hope this helps!

    Wonderful history. I grew up in the Redding, CA Church of the Nazarene (1949-1960) then the Weaverville, CA church from 1960 until hs graduation in 1966. Went on to Pasadena College (now Pt. Loma Nazarene University). Now attend the Haven Church in Glendale, AZ.
