Our beliefs...

Who are we?
We're just people... a small part of a big family. Some of us are short... tall...older...younger. Some of us are married ...some of us aren't. We're all so different; it's hard to believe that we all have the same heavenly father.

What do we do?
We Worship... We Study God's Word together... We share, praise, and pray together... Lots of times we just laugh and have fun... together.

What do we believe?
// We are a Christian Church //
We believe in the traditional creeds that guided the Christian Church throughout the centuries. Therefore, we believe, for example, in the Trinity, the deity and humanity of Jesus, the saving sacrifice of Christ upon the cross, and His bodily resurrection from the dead.

// We are a Protestant Church //
We believe that men and women are saved when they, by God's grace, exercise their faith and make a decision to follow God's call. The decision must be supported by repentance of sins and conformity to the examples of Jesus. Further, we believe that the Bible is the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice, and that every believer should communicate through Jesus Christ alone, our only Priest.

 

// We are a Holiness Church //
We believe that the Holy Spirit can free the believer from the slavery of sin by completely cleansing his heart and filling it with God's love. This "fullness of the Spirit" follows the believer's full commitment to God and results in the power to live a victorious Christian life.

// We are a Personal Church.//
We believe that worship and the Christian walk should be a personal and a meaningful experience, that fellowship with other believers should be close, and that every member has a gift from God and must exercise his or her personal freedom to use that gift in the life and ministry of the church.

Why are we called Nazarenes?

1. Jesus was called a Nazarene. His boyhood home was in the town of Nazareth.

2. Later, the followers of Jesus were called Nazarenes.

3. The Apostle Paul, on trial for his life, was accused of being the ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Of course, Jesus did not found a denomination, but because we bear His name,it is held in deep respect by us who are members of the Church of the Nazarene. The supreme desire of all Christians should to be like Jesus. His teaching form the basis of our doctrin, and His life, our example.
