Athens Church of the Nazarene is a family-oriented growing church with a body of believers that range in age from infants to senior saints. We are a church that believes that the Word of God is relevant to us today and that God has called us to a lifestyle that reflects His spirit working in us. We not only realize that we are saved by grace and not by any works we could do, but also understand that God has called us to work for him and to be ambassadors for Christ by living a life that reflects his working in our hearts and our love for him.

Counseling Services
Debt & Budget Counseling
Financial matters pose one of the most formidable challenges in anyone's life. Interestingly, the Bible contains an astonishing 2,600 verses dedicated to the subject of money, making it the most extensively discussed topic therein. Pastor David Spann specializes in offering debt and budget counseling services. This is not financial counseling. Financial counseling involves discussions regarding investments and should be handled by a certified financial planner. Pastor Spann has been trained through "Crown Financial Ministries" and offers training and counseling on basic money management. His services encompass helping individuals address overwhelming debt issues and devising effective strategies to reduce and eliminate debt. Additionally, he assists in establishing financial security and fostering a savings plan for a stable future.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Often, couples invest a significant amount of attention and focus on their wedding day, inadvertently neglecting the preparations for their life together after the ceremony. However, it is shown that premarital counseling can have a profound positive impact on the quality of married life. To address this, Pastor David Spann offers premarital counseling services, drawing upon various valuable resources, including the Prepare-Enrich Inventory and Before You Say I Do, among others.
The counseling program typically consists of four sessions, each lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. Through these sessions, couples gain valuable insights and tools to navigate the challenges and joys of marriage successfully. Upon completing the counseling program, couples receive a certificate that enables them to enjoy a $65 waiver from the marriage license fee, providing an added benefit to those who invest in their future through premarital counseling.
Spiritual Mentorship
Questions about God, Faith, Prayer, God’s purpose for your life or any other spirit or faith-related question – the staff provides spiritual mentorship. One-on-one mentoring can help you find the answers you seek and the path that God has set out for you and continue your spiritual growth.
