A Legacy of Faith Since 1918
Xenia Nazarene Church began as Lighthouse Mission with just 16 devoted members. Through moves, rebuilding after the 1974 tornado, and decades of growth, God has shaped our story with purpose and perseverance. Our rich history is a testimony to His faithfulness through every season.
A Heart for Community
From the beginning, we've been called to serve not just within our walls, but throughout Xenia and beyond. Through outreach, compassion, and the development of the Xenia Community Center, we’ve sought to reflect Christ’s love by meeting the real needs of people around us.
Come Be Part of the Story
Whether you're looking for hope, a place to belong, or a way to make a difference, there's room for you here. At Xenia Nazarene, we’re building something lasting—rooted in faith, growing in love, and reaching out in grace. Come see what God is doing.
