Keene Church of the Nazarene

Keene Church of the Nazarene Our Story began in 1888 when Frank Sprague heard the message of Holiness of heart and life. He attended a Methodist Camp meeting in Claremont, NH.

From that transforming experience, the Lord called him to plant a Church known as “Bethany Mission.” In 1908, Bethany Mission became associated with the Church of the Nazarene. The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. It was founded to spread the message of Scriptural Holiness (Christlike living) across our world. Since the earliest days, our denominati

on started churches that focused on three things: a commitment to cities and the poor, active involvement in social issues and a doctrine of hope. During our congregations 100+ year history, we have worshipped in three locations. The first location was on the corner of Vernon and Elm Street, formerly a Methodist Church. In addition to having faithful and effective women and men pastors, our space was used creatively as a chair factory on the first floor. In 1945, an unfortunate fire lead us to seek a new location. God faithfully blessed us with land at 390 Court Street, which provided sacred space to minister to the next generation. By the grace of God, our community grew so much that we relocated. In 1971, we began the development of the building that we gather in today. As a community, our desire is that every person would encounter the love of God and learn to live the way of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a result, we would participate in the work of the Kingdom of God in the town of Keene and the surrounding area.
