About Us

New Smyrna Beach First Church of the Nazarene (NSBNC) is a friendly congregation with open arms to welcome all who enter our doors. We love meeting new families and establishing positive relationships.

We offer encouragement, hope, and love to all, but most of all, we want to share the plan of salvation that offers new life through Jesus Christ. We also are here to rejoice with those who are experiencing a time of blessing and happiness in their lives. We like to call our church the “Family Place”, the place where people of all ages may feel comfortable. It is our desire that you will be right at home here with us.

We here at NSBNC strive to create a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our worship times are inspirational. We want the Holy Spirit to infuse us with dreams and visions of great things. We worship through both, traditional hymns and contemporary praise music as we simply lift our voices in praise to honor our King and our Lord. Joy fills our hearts as we rejoice together. We believe that praise brings God and man together in fellowship. We desire His presence in our midst!

Our pastor provides solid Biblical preaching which encourages the unsaved to seek salvation and enables the new Christian to grow and mature in the gifts and graces of God. Through his messages, listeners are encouraged to seek a life filled and anointed with the Holy Spirit. Our pastor encourages everyone to receive physical, emotional, and mental healing through the name of Jesus, and that through Jesus there is deliverance from addictions and vices that hinder and cripple ones witness for the Lord.

Come and be part of a growing congregation.

We are expecting to see you!
