First Church of the Nazarene

About this church

First Church of the Nazarene in Newark, Delaware, meets for Sunday morning worship at 10:45 a.m. at 357 Paper Mill Road. The congregation is part of the international Church of the Nazarene, a denomination in the Wesleyan/Holiness tradition, and belongs to the Mid-Atlantic District. Its stated mission is to be a loving community for people who need to know how much they matter to God. The homepage features a video of the week's sermon, which gives first-time visitors a way to get a feel for the teaching before attending.

Attendees come from Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and the congregation describes itself as a mix of longtime followers of Jesus and people newer to the life of faith. Five core values shape church life: worship, connect, reach, serve, and grow. These cover worship beyond Sunday, relationships with both believers and those not yet following Christ, sharing faith through words and actions, serving neighbors who live and work nearby, and spiritual growth. The website's menu also lists pages for current activities, a reading list, and upcoming events, so visitors may want to look through those and confirm the service time on the website before coming.
