Our History

The Westerville Church of the Nazarene was organized on March, 1936 with 12 charter members.  The church was build of stones cut and set by hands of its laypeople.  During the construction, services were held in the basement until the ground level sanctuary was completed.  Attendance grew to nearly 100 by the completion in 1941.  

To fulfill years of vision and hard work, the congregation took a step of faith and purchased property on Cherrington Road. After a number of years, they completed construction of a new church facility on the site and by 1989 the congregation made the exodus from Park Street to the current site.

In 2002 the people of Westerville Nazarene took another leap of faith and began construction on the latest expansion project. The expansion (approx. 35,000 sq. ft.) nearly doubled the size of the facility and included a new worship center, office/classroom complex, kitchen, and restrooms. While not all of the new rooms have been completed at this time, we are confident that they will be according to God's timing and guidance.

Today, membership is over 400 and we are seeking to continue to reach the city of Westerville and surrounding communities for Christ.

At the Westerville Church of the Nazarene, we often have photos and videos being taken of events to celebrate the moments. Photography, videography, and live streaming may be occurring during services, ministry projects, fellowship time, formation groups, and events. These are often used, but not limited to, printed and electronic materials and digital/social media. While we reserve the right to record and photograph events, services, etc., we strive to use them in safe and positive outlets. If you would like to make sure that you are not in photographs, please let our office know or contact us should you see a picture of yourself or child online that you would like removed. Please understand that we cannot remove your image from live streaming events. Contact our office with any questions/concerns at the number above.
