Welcome
Here at Mexico First Church of the Nazarene our purpose is to know Christ and to make Him known; to develop a vibrant, fulfilling relationship with Jesus Christ ourselves; and to encourage others into this life-changing relationship. What you will discover is a church that is loving, caring, friendly, and most of all journeying toward a deeper relationship with Jesus. None of us is perfect, but we love Jesus and we strive to follow Him.
We invite you to join us in this journey of drawing closer to the Lord Jesus and to one another.
