Seek Him. Celebrate Him. Serve Him.
Those six words are the mission of the Brazil Church of the Nazarene located in Brazil, Indiana, USA. Seek Him through prayer and scriptural-based teachings. Celebrate Him with praise and worship in fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ. Serve Him through compassion to others through personal Christlike living. Our vision is to proclaim God's message of full salvation, meet the needs of the whole person, and equip believers for evangelism, ministries, and abundant Christian living.
If you're new to the area or are looking for a new local church, we invite you to grow with us. If you've never been to church before, your emotions and expectations can range from excitement and enthusiasm to anxiousness and intimidation. We understand that, and we want to extend a warm welcome for you to join us. You can have the forgiveness that only Jesus can offer.
Our multi-generational Praise Team leads worship with a mix of traditional and contemporary music. Pastor Marlin Betts always delivers a scripturally-based message filled with Biblical truth and guidance for living a Christlike life.
We share the beliefs and values of our parent organization, the International Church of the Nazarene. If you want to know more about the beliefs, values, and history of the Nazarene Church, please visit Nazarene.org.
