Every organization that endures over time is based on a deeply shared combination of beliefs and values. So it is with the Church of the Nazarene. Our church was founded to transform the world by spreading scriptural holiness (Christ-like living). It is both a Great Commission church and a Holiness church at the same time. Our mission is to make Christ-like disciples of all nations.
The Church of the Nazarene believes you may discover forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love and 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 believe that there is a deeper level of life for the Christian in which there is victory over sin, power to witness and serve, and a richer fellowship with God. This happens for the Christian by the sanctifying (purifying) fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Our local church is a faith community, ready to greet you in Jesus name. Here you will discover opportunities not only to encounter Jesus as your Savior and Lord, but to grow as a follower of Christ. Our church offers ministry opportunities for serving others. Fellowship, worship, training and education are all part of our life together in Christ. With over 12,000 congregations worldwide, our vision and mission embraces the entire world. We invite you to experience the unique fellowship of our church, and join us in celebrating the love and grace of our Lord!
