First Church of the Nazarene was organized in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on Sept. 3, 1939, with Rev. L.C. Miller as its first pastor. May 30, 1993, we concluded twenty-two years of worship at the church property on 787 Hwy 61 North Bypass. Our relocation to the new facilities at 3428 Wisconsin Ave. is a challenge for a greater ministry to our community. To God be the Glory!
On May 26th, 1993 we met at 3428 Wisconsin Avenue for a Prayer Meeting service. May 30, 1993, we were completely relocated to this new site. The sale of the Hwy 61 North Bypass property was officially concluded at this time. Praise God for the ease of this transition!
In 1992, the church reported that the value of its buildings and property was estimated at $310,000 with an indebtedness of $110,000. Today the church’s buildings and property are valued at approximately $625,000 with all indebtedness paid in full.
The need for additional Sunday School space is before us and plans need to be developed for the future sanctuary. The church has blueprints of the second phase of building, which we hope to begin in the next couple of years. Copies of the "new" projects may be viewed in the Church foyer.
The Church is alive and being strengthened through the prayers and faithfulness of its membership. Thank the Lord for the faithful fellowship He has established in Vicksburg. As we grow we are praying that God will allow us to be involved in the establishment of “new starts”.
