Brazil Church of the Nazarene

About this church

Brazil Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant congregation on National Avenue in Brazil, Indiana, organized in 1919 by seventeen charter members. It became part of the Indiana District of the Church of the Nazarene the following year and moved to its present site in the late 1940s, with the current sanctuary entering use in 1974. The congregation describes church as family: a place to be loved, worship genuinely, and encounter God’s presence. Worship is led by a multi-generational praise team and is mainly contemporary while still incorporating classic hymns. Small groups, children’s Bible quizzing, youth ministry, food preparation, technology, and livestream service provide varied ways to participate.

Sunday School and small groups begin at 9:00 a.m., followed by worship and the pastor’s message at 10:00. A women’s prayer group also meets at 10:00, and middle- and high-school youth gather Sunday at 6:00 p.m. The church welcomes casual or dressier clothing without a formal dress code. Parking is on the east side of the building, accessible from both National Avenue and Sycamore Street; the campus sits between East Side Elementary and Ascension St. Vincent Clay Hospital. Newcomers can expect a warm, mixed-generation Nazarene setting with a contemporary musical center and clear Sunday options for study, prayer, youth, and worship.
