Dear Friends,
We are filled with joy as we announce plans to celebrate Roxana Church of the Nazarene’s 100th anniversary. The events will take place on Saturday, November 1, and Sunday, November 2, 2025. We warmly invite you to return home to join us for this special gathering.
The theme of the event is “Celebrate, Remember, and Anticipate.” Together, we will celebrate what God did in establishing the church in 1925; remember how He worked in this congregaion through the years; and anticipate what He will do in the years ahead.
