First Church of the Nazarene is part of the Wesleyan-Holiness family of churches in The American Church Story. 37 congregations of the Wesleyan-Holiness family gather across Louisiana — 4,599 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 community around First Church of the Nazarene

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 describe their own health as fair or poor, and about a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
