==Historical Background== | |||
The Church of the Nazarene in Guam began with a fellowship of lay American military personnel in 1966. Local broadcast of the radio program “Showers of Blessing” led to the formation of a Nazarene fellowship. Over the years, this fellowship grew in number and ministry. | |||
The fellowship purchased the property and broke ground for a sanctuary in 1969. The church became fully organized in December 1971. In 1972, the congregation added a parsonage, and later in 2002, a new sanctuary. <ref>Amy Trasen, "Guam celebrates 50th anniversary", in "Church of the Nazarene", https://nazarene.org/article/guam-celebrates-50th-anniversary. accessed 24 February 2020.</ref> | |||
