First Church of Nazarene celebrates 100 years

Link to October 8 Warren Times Observer.

Excerpt:
The Warren First Church of the Nazarene's history began on July 29, 1908, when 17 community members felt it was time to start a new church in the area and signed a document sometime later that month of their intent.

The original church property was purchased on Pennsylvania Ave. between Russell and Irvine St. and is still in use today.

There was a call for a new parsonage in 1950 in addition to a Christian Life Center to be built in the style of and adjacent to the main building of the parsonage.

Renovations of the church sanctuary also took place during this time.

Later, six additional properties were purchased and now serve as church offices, housing for the associate pastor and additional parking.
