About
Oroville Church of the Nazarene was founded in 1938 and has thrived ever since by the mercy of God and to His glory. We actively advance the Kingdom of God locally, regionally, nationally and globally. We partner with places like the Hope Center, Pregnancy Resource Center, and the local police department to bring forth our mission.
We have a team of pastors and lay leaders who shepherd our church body and serve our ministries. We refer to the lay leaders as the Church Leadership Team (CLT).

Our Mission
Changing the community of Oroville one life at a time.
Our Vision
Imagine a collection of changed and surrendered people who love God and others. They are captured by the idea that God is already at work in the world and they desire to partner with Him in His loving activity for our city.
They are risk-takers, hope-givers, love-merchants and dream-builders. They join forces with anyone who promotes the truth of Jesus as they strengthen the weak, empower the willing, embrace the doubters, welcome the marginalized and advance the Kingdom.
They play together, worship together, cry together and serve together. They do life together. Their city will change because they are sent by God.
Our Ethos
Living by faith, holding out hope, walking in love.
