Berkshire First Church of the Nazarene is part of the Wesleyan-Holiness family of churches in The American Church Story. 41 congregations of the Wesleyan-Holiness family gather across Massachusetts — 4,365 across the United States on The Church Map.
The Wesleyan-Holiness churches have insisted that God does not merely forgive people, he changes them — and they took that straight to the poorest streets they could find.
