ABOUT OUR CHURCH

Nazarenes_edited.png

The Nazarene Church traces its anniversary date to 1908.  It was a marriage that, like every marriage, linked existing families & created a new one.​  As an expression of the holiness movement & its emphasis on the sanctified life, our founders came together ​to form one people.

WE ARE A CHRISTIAN PEOPLE

​​​​

As members of the Church Universal, ​​​we join with all true believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ & in affirming the historic Trinitarian creeds & beliefs of the Christian faith.

WE ARE A HOLINESS PEOPLE​​​

​

We believe that the Holy Spirit seeks ​to do in ​​​us a second work of grace, "entire sanctification" ​& ​​"baptism with the Holy Spirit," cleansing us from all sin, renewing us in the image of God, empowering us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, & strength, our neighbors as ourselves, & producing in us the character of Christ.

WE ARE A MISSIONAL PEOPLE

​​​

We are a sent people, responding to the call of Christ & empowered by the Holy Spirit to go ​​​​​into all the world, witnessing to the Lordship of Christ & participating with God in the building of the Church & the extension of His kingdom.

Nazarene Manual.jpg
  • WE BELIEVE ​​in one God — the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.

  • WE BELIEVE that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; & that whosoever repents & believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified & regenerated & saved from the dominion of sin.

  • WE BELIEVE ​​that the Old & New Testament scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith & Christian living.

  • WE BELIEVE ​​that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, & the final judgment will take place.

  • WE BELIEVE ​​that human beings are born with a fallen nature, & are, therefore, inclined to evil.

  • WE BELIEVE ​​that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, & also to the entire sanctification of believers.

  • WE BELIEVE ​​that the finally impenitent are hopelessly eternally lost.

  • WE BELIEVE ​​that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
