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
Pre-Marital Counseling
Often, couples invest significant attention and focus on their wedding day, inadvertently neglecting 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 4 sessions, each lasting 60-90 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 entitles them to a $65 waiver on the marriage license fee, providing an added benefit for 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.
