Edmonton First Church of the Nazarene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have been proudly led by Pastors Rick and Laura Burk since the fall of 2022. Something we not only teach, but live, is that church starts <\/em>at 12:01pm when the service is over. Church <\/em>to us, is in our everyday life and in our community. You’ll see this in our Sunday services, ladies’ teas, youth programs and events in general. We want to include <\/strong>those around us and impact <\/strong>each individual on a personal level. If you are looking for a church home and a community to be a part of, welcome! We look forward to meeting you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church of the Nazarene<\/h1>\n

The Church of the Nazarene in Canada started in 1902 with a single congregation in Oxford, Nova Scotia. Since then, it has spread across the country, until almost 200 churches and missions serve in all of the Canadian provinces and in the Yukon, NWT.<\/p>\n

These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true:<\/p>\n
