First Church of The Nazarene is part of the Wesleyan-Holiness family of churches in The American Church Story. 291 congregations of the Wesleyan-Holiness family gather across Indiana — 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. The Salvation Army's kettles and soup lines, a century of rescue missions, and an early and costly record of ordaining women all came out of this family.

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor. That is 2,200 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
