 Lanett was originally the Town of Bluffton, incorporated on December 7, 1865,
when it received its charter from the Alabama Legislature. A new charter was
sought from the state twenty-eight years later. Bluffton had grown and citizens
of the town deemed fit to change it's name. The City of Lanett was founded on
February 1, 1895 when a charter for the newly named City of Lanett was
approved. Lanett was named after two local textile mill developers, Lafayette
Lanier and Theodore Bennett.

Worship With Us
The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Christian church in the
Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, tracing its roots to an anniversary date of 1908.
It was founded to spread the message of scriptural holiness (Christlike living)
across the lands. Today the Church of the Nazarene is located in 155 world
areas.
The Church of the Nazarene is a Great Commission church. We
believe that God offers to everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love,
meaning in life, and the promise of heaven when life is over by entering and
experiencing a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are
called to take this message to people everywhere.
The Church of the Nazarene is also a holiness church. We believe that Christians
can experience a deeper level of life in which there is victory over sin,
power to witness and serve, and a richer fellowship with God, all through
the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
With almost 23,000 congregations, our vision and mission embraces the entire
world. We invite you to experience the unique fellowship of the Huguley
Church of the Nazarene. Pastor Steven Spencer
