Who We Are

A community of grace.

Helena Naz exists to honor and glorify God by obeying Jesus' command to make disciples of all nations. We accomplish this through our Mission and Core Values. Please feel free to contact us if you need prayer or have questions, or simply need a cup of coffee and some fellowship time!

Our Story

Where God leads, His church grows.

The message of the Bible is that mankind rebelled against God, but God revealed Himself and worked through history to redeem fallen people. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sin so that we could enjoy a restored relationship with God and with one another. And He proved His power over death by raising Jesus from the grave.

Helena Nazarene Church is a community of believers in Jesus Christ. As His followers, we strive to serve God, love others, and turn from sin. We're here for you in your journey to grow deeper in Christ, and we'd love nothing more than to share a cup of coffee and some fellowship time with you.
