About Rock Island First Church of the Nazarene
RINAZ is a church which has been growing our connection to families and youth of the Quad Cities. Over the last 18 months we have created community and connection with 150+ families through Upward volleyball, basketball and cheer. This summer we will launch eSports through events with the intent to create gaming leagues and seasons. We are connected to Rock Island High through FCA as well as partner with local churches to hold community events. We also utilize SPARK discipleship with creates monthly initiatives for small groups of 8-15 people to bless the community. We consider ourselves a church of hospitality as we leverage our resources to bless the community.
