Our Story

Our church has been a faithful presence in Cownay for over 100 years.  We were founded in 1919 as Conway First Church of the Nazarene and have been located on the Corner of Center and Scott St. in downtown Conway for over 75 years. We strive to be a church in the heart of Conway with a heart for Conway.  In April of 2024 after decades of facility challenges an extensive remodel project began to make our facility a place where we serve our congregations and community for many generations to come.  During the remodel project we have refocused our vision and voted to rename the church Center Church.  Center Church will launch on September 8, 2024 at the grand opening of our new facility.

We endeavor to be CENTERED IN THE LIFE AND MISSION OF JESUS and we would love for you to be a part of our church family.  

Why we exist

We strive to be a church that is

CENTERED IN THE LIFE AND MISSION OF JESUS.

What We Believe

WE BELIEVE in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.


WE BELIEVE that human beings are born with a fallen nature, and are, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.


WE BELIEVE that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.


WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.


WE BELIEVE that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living


WE BELIEVE that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.


WE BELIEVE that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.


WE BELIEVE that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.


We are proud to be a part of a global family of churches called the Church of the Nazarene

with over 2.5 million members in over 160 world areas.  Nazarenes exist

"To Make Christlike Disciples in the Nations". 

We are guided by the core values of being Christian, Missional, Holiness people.
