O God, Our Help

In Ages Past...

The Church of the Nazarene in Midland had its beginning in the home of Sol Gowing February 28, 1916. Rev. A.H. Levely was elected as the first pastor. Soon after, the congregation secured its first property, the Township Hall, on 2nd Street, as their first church home. As the congregation expanded, a need arose for a more adequate facility. The second building was constructed on the corner of State and Buttles. Between 1937-1942 an annex was added to the building to accommodate 100 people. God continued to bless His church!

 

 

 

Construction began on the third building in 1948, located at 2714 S. Jefferson. The church continued to grow through the 50s and early 60s, and the decision was made to construct the current facility at 5700 Jefferson Ave. The name was changed from midland First Church of the Nazarene to Community Church of the Nazarene. Construction began in June, 1969 and the first service was held November 29, 1970

Evidence of God's grace has been with us from the very early days of the church, and we look forward to His plans for us in the future!

...Our Hope for

Years To Come
