Church of Nazarene plans new church

New Beginnings Church of the Nazarene is a vibrant parish that will build a new church if it sells its church on 310 South Dell.

That’s the message from John Powell, pastor of the south side church.

Some people at Monday night’s Havre City Council meeting suggested that the church was suffering from declining membership and that’s why it is planning to sell the building.

Powell said the existing building is getting older and some work will be done.

“Our district wanted to build a new building rather than make the repairs,” he said.

The location for the new church has not been decided, he said.

“We certainly are not going to close,” he said.

The church is planning to sell the existing building to Kirkwood Funeral Home in Malta and Edwards Funeral Home in Chinook. They are planning a funeral home at the site.

The Havre Zoning Board of Adjustments will review the proposal, which has met with some opposition from neighbors.
