On October 16, 1938 under the direction of District Superintendent Rev. S.C. Taylor and a small band of dedicated Christians, the First Church of the Nazarene was organized in Carrington. One year later a site was selected and a church building purchased and moved into a location at 13 Ave. and Main St. The total cost of purchasing and remodeling was $3,000. Until this time the members of this young church were holding Bible studies and prayer meetings in the homes.
The original church stood at the location of 13 Ave. and Main St. until 1976 when construction was completed on a new sanctuary seating 250 people at the corner of Joal Drive and Golf Course Road.
Rev. Pearl Hamel was the first pastor of the church of the Nazarene in Carrington and during the 44 years of ministry of the church in Carrington there has been fourteen pastors until the present pastor, Rev. Chleo Brown.
