some info for you
Pastor Brian
Pastor Brian is a big guy with a big heart for people. He moved to Warren in June 2019 with his wife Kelly, son Cody, and daughters Briley and Annabelle. He enjoys a good laugh, and his humor often comes through in his Sunday sermons. His leadership of the church reflects his compassion for hurting people and passion for a genuine and honest walk with Christ, and he challenges the people of W1N to live out our faith by serving and loving our community.
Pastor Kelly
Pastor Kelly loves to talk and she loves to hug! You'll often find her in the foyer or greeting people in the sanctuary before and after church. She also enjoys laughing and learning with the kiddos here at W1N. She spends most Sundays in children's church, and the rest of her week she works in a prison. These two contrasting positions reflect her passion to advocate for those who need help and to mentor others into a strong relationship with Jesus. If you would like to meet her, just follow the loud music and flashing lights back to the children's area.:)

Church of the Nazarene is...
…A PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN THE WESLEYAN-HOLINESS TRADITION, TRACING ITS ROOTS TO AN ANNIVERSARY DATE OF 1908. IT WAS FOUNDED TO SPREAD THE MESSAGE OF SCRIPTURAL HOLINESS (CHRISTLIKE LIVING) ACROSS THE LANDS. TODAY THE CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE IS LOCATED IN 156 WORLD AREAS.
THE CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE IS A GREAT COMMISSION CHURCH. OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE CHRISTLIKE DISCIPLES IN THE NATIONS. WE BELIEVE THAT GOD OFFERS TO EVERYONE FORGIVENESS, PEACE, JOY, PURPOSE, LOVE, MEANING IN LIFE, AND THE PROMISE OF HEAVEN WHEN LIFE IS OVER BY ENTERING AND EXPERIENCING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. WE ARE CALLED TO TAKE THIS MESSAGE TO PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.
THE CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE IS ALSO A HOLINESS CHURCH. BY THAT WE MEAN, THAT GOD THROUGH HIS GRACE AND MERCY CAN TRANSFORM US . . . CAN HEAL OUR BROKENNESS, OVERCOME OUR ADDICTIONS, MEND OUR FRACTURED RELATIONSHIPS AND EMPOWER US, THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO OVERCOME SIN. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS TRANSFORMATION CAN HAPPEN IN OUR LIFE WHILE WE ARE ON THIS EARTH AND THAT THIS TRANSFORMATION DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN. WE BELIEVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS IN OUR MIDST AND THAT GOD THROUGH JESUS AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TRANSFORMING LIVES NOW.
“Our homes are to be hospitals—refuges of healing radiating the light of heaven. And our dinner tables are to be operating tables — the place where broken souls are made whole again. In our churches people should find rest from their battle for acceptance and release from the lie that they are nothing more than the goods they possess. When we lower our defenses, when we remove our façades and our peepholes, and we begin to be truly present with one another—then the healing power of the gospel can begin its work.” – Skye Jethani
