About Us

Sebring Church of the Nazarene is located in the historic district of downtown Sebring, Florida.

The beginnnings of our church are rooted in a tent meeting that was held in 1943 at the corner of Mango and Magnolia Streets. A year later, the Church of the Nazarene of Sebring was organized with the original church building completed in 1945. Additional lots were purchased over the years until Sebring Nazarene owned the entire city block. Our present sanctuary was completed in 1972 with the eduational building being completed in 1986.
