                                *How we're doing it*
The mission of Zanesville First Church of the Nazarene is to be a community of faith that knows, grows, shares, and shows God's love through outreach, evangelism, discipleship, spiritual life, and servant leadership.

We are providing a place to worship, where God's holy word is taught, shared, and lived while offering children, youth, and adults fellowship in a positive environment as we reach out to others with hope, answers, and opportunity. 

Where:   Children's and Youth classes will be in classrooms downstairs.  There are two classes for adults, one meeting in the fellowship area by the kitchen and the other meeting in the children's area.
When:  9:30am every Sunday!
Who:   Anyone!  We have classes for adults, kids, and youth!
What:  Each group has its own material and layout.  Age groups will have lessons on their own level.
Why:  Sunday morning small groups provide a time to go deeper into God's word and discuss topics and passages that might not get covered on Sunday morning.  It is an important time of learning and growing in the Word of God.
