Pastor Melissa here, it is with great sorrow that I have to make this post. After 66 years, 6 of which I was honored to be the pastor, Chelsea First Church of the Nazarene aka Chelsea Open Doors Church of the Nazarene will be closing it’s doors for the last time this Sunday July 18, 2021. We would love for you to join us at 11 am for a time of fellowship, sharing memories and celebrating the life of our church. Our church is joyous that we have been able to be part of the great town of Chelsea and the lives that have been impacted for the kingdom. However, with Covid, deaths in the church, people moving on to other ministries, and the age and health issues with our congregation, it is now time to say goodbye to the building. I know that we will continue to get together in each other’s homes to study the word, pray and fellowship together

When I was asked to come to Chelsea I did not even know where it was. However, over the years I have grown to love the members of this church and to love this community and the people of this community. I have made lifelong friends and forever family. I loved making connections with the many pastors in the town, the community revivals, Celebrate Recovery (the best place to be on a Thursday night), being the “farmer’s market pastor”, the pray for the city booth, and making tamales and sopapilla cheesecake to sell at the Jamboree.

I know that God has other plans in Chelsea and plans for ministry in my life. I will be ever grateful for the opportunity he gave me to be the pastor to this great church. I love you all so very much

Hello all, due to the inability to find leaders, lack of attendance, and the lack of interest, we have prayerfully made the painful decision to close Celebrate Recovery at Chelsea Open Doors Church of the Nazarene. We encourage you to attend any of the other Celebrate Recovery meetings in the surrounding towns. You can go to celebraterecovery.com to find dates and times of other meetings. We thank you for the 3 years we had and we pray that God will continue the healing and restoration that He has started in the many lives touched through this ministry. The church will continue to meet on Sunday for Sunday School and Worship. We love you. God bless

Pastor Melissa

What is Celebrate Recovery? It is a Christ centered, 12 step recovery program for anyone struggling with hurt, pain or addiction of any kind. It is a safe place to find community and freedom from the issues that are controlling our life.
