John Mills, pastor of Hanapepe Church of the Nazarene. “At the same time, we want to emphasize that the family never stops growing, and there is plenty of room for all. In our society today, it seems that relationships often don’t last very long. We invite our community to join us to see relationships that have remained strong for 100 years.”

The Church of the Nazarene has its roots in Methodism, drawn from the teachings of English evangelist John Wesley (1703-1791). The denomination was established in October 1908 in Pilot Point, Texas, the culmination of mergers of several like-minded groups. The mission of the Church of the Nazarene is to make Christ-like disciples in the nations.
The denomination has been headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, since 1912. Hanapepe was established in 1957, celebrating 50 years of service in June of 2007. For an in-depth view visit the denomination’s Web site at nazarene.org.
