Bowling Green First Church of the Nazarene

About this church

Bowling Green First Church of the Nazarene gathers Sunday at 10:30 a.m. The congregation describes the service as casual, heartfelt, and hopeful, with uplifting worship and biblical teaching. Guest parking is marked near the front, and first-time visitors are invited to come as they are. Wednesday midweek worship and ministry run from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., supplemented by seasonal nights of worship and other events.

Founded in 1927 after a tent revival, BG First has worshiped through the Great Depression, World War II, a destructive 1974 fire, and multiple building projects. Its mission is summarized as love, grow, and serve. NextGen ministry treats children and teenagers as the church of today, using age-appropriate teaching, relationships, and service to help them know Jesus and practice faith for life. Families can preregister children before a first visit, and the plan-a-visit page provides the most practical arrival guidance. Because special and seasonal gatherings can change the normal rhythm, Wednesday visitors should check the current calendar.
