]]> [looking west from 8th Street]]]> It was a hewn log house at 234-236 West Broadway.
In 1853 Rev. Mr. Rice organized the Congregational Church and erected a log church building at Pierce Street and Glen Avenue.
In 1854 a substantial brick church was built on the present site occupied by The Nonpareil. A church bell was shipped by boat from Boston and placed in the church. The bell is now in use at the Dodge Memorial Congregational Church.
A second church was built in 1870 at Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue but was blown down. It was rebuilt.
The present church building on First Avenue near Sixth Street was constructed in 1910.

An Easter, 1978 completion date is expected.]]> The group invited Rev. R.W. Leisher, Cincinnati, O., to conduct a series of evangelistic meetings at the mission. At the close of the meetings on Jan. 3, 1915, the First Church of the Nazarene was organized with about twenty members. The charter was held open until the following August, when the membership reached seventy-five.
Rev. and Mrs. Leisher served as the first pastors. The first church was located in a store building at 337 East Broadway. The group purchased a lot at Twenty-sixth street and Avenue A. Services were first conducted on Sept. 30, 1915, in the church erected there. The building, however, was not completed until 1923 under direction of Rev. M.C. Campbell.
The Sunday school has grown to an enrollment of 500.
