Our name is officially Church of the Nazarene of Hanford, California. We've been around since 1931.
Over the years, we've had buildings and wandered in the high school gym wilderness.
But God opened up an amazing opportunity. The Church of God in Laton offered us a home in the property they owned, selling it to us for $1 a month for 12 months if we'd promise to keep the church open. So we're in Laton to stay as the local Nazarene church.
To live our value of serving the community, we've become committed to our Spanish-speaking neighbors, so we are One Church in Two Languages. Our pastoral team operates as a unit. We preach on the same topics, but worship in two services.
We also have meeting places in Hanford at Northstar Apartments and at Adventist Hospital. We want to be a church that comes to people in Hanford instead of expecting people to come to us.
You may know us in Laton as Groceries2Go or Food Pantry, but we are way more than that. Come and see!
