Chicago Campus - The Lighthouse

In January, 2008, an inaugural worship service was held at 500 N. Laramie in Chicago's Austin neighborhood and Chicago First Nazarene became a two-campus, two-site church! After leaving the city over 30 years prior, Chicago First Nazarene once again has a ministry presence in the city of Chicago.

In September, 2007, the church board extended a unanimous call to Rev. Ron Allen to be the site pastor. Pastor Ron and First Lady Tonya lead the Chicago First Church of the Nazarene's Chicago Campus (the "Lighthouse") in the Austin neighborhood.
