Xenia Nazarene Church began as "Lighthouse Mission" in 1918 with 16 charter members. After meeting in four different locations in town, this small group bought a church building at the corner of Orange Street and Bellbrook Avenue, which became their "home" for 38 years. They purchased property at the present location in 1956 and moved into their new building in 1960. Much of the building was rebuilt in 1975 after the After the 1974 tornado destroyed most of the building, it was rebuilt in 1975. In 1987, acreage was purchased across the street and ministries were expanded to what we now call the Xenia Community Center. God has blessed our church with a rich history, dedicated and sacrificial members, and strong, generous outreach ministries. We have much for which to be thankful!
