Dear Friend,

Thank you so much for coming to our website! 

First Church of the Nazarene is here to serve you and your family. We are a growing, vibrant church community which consists of people who are seeking more of God and His will for their lives. Our congregation is open to all, from the person beginning to seek answers to basic questions about Christ and the Bible to the person who has been in the faith for many years. We have many ministries available to all!

Our mission is that you become a fully-devoted follower of Jesus Christ who loves God and others, and that you establish and nurture a personal relationship with God through Christ. Our vision is that this be a place and people where connecting community with Christ is our first priority. We also seek to be a place where you and your family can grow spiritually.

Every season brings its changes to Chicago-land. So are the seasons of our lives. We hope and pray this is a season for spiritual seeking and growth in your life. Please come and worship with us! People from all backgrounds and churches are welcome! We also have open communion, open to all who claim Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and the sole basis of their salvation.

First Nazarene is currently in a period of transition as we go through a pastoral search process for a new senior pastor. Click here for details about the process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Pastoral Staff - even through this website! We are here to serve you.

May God bless you and yours. we hope to meet you soon.
