The Church of the Nazarene is a global Christian denomination rooted in Wesleyan theology and holiness tradition. Central to our beliefs is the affirmation of Jesus Christ as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. We believe in the authority and inspiration of the Bible as God's Word, guiding us in faith and practice. Our commitment to holiness emphasizes a life of love, purity, and obedience to God's will, empowered by the Holy Spirit. We embrace the Great Commission, striving to make Christlike disciples of all nations through evangelism, compassion, and social justice. As a diverse and inclusive community, we seek to embody the love of Christ and share His transformative grace with the world.
Absolutely, you are most welcome! In fact, the church is a place specifically for sinners - it's a sanctuary for those seeking forgiveness, redemption, and spiritual growth. Recognizing our own shortcomings is the first step towards growth and healing. Jesus himself welcomed sinners with open arms and emphasized forgiveness and love above all else. So please, come as you are, for in this community, you'll find acceptance, support, and the opportunity to journey towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life in the light of God's grace.
