What a Nazarene Believes
We are a Christian Church. We believe in the traditional creeds, which have guided the Christian church throughout the centuries. We believe in 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 Jesus in answer to God's call. This decision must be supported by repentance of sins and conformity to the example of Jesus. Further, we believe that the Bible is the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice, and that every believer should communicate with God through Jesus Christ alone, our only Priest.
We are a Holiness Church. We believe that the Holy Spirit can free the believer from his slavery to 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 meaningful experience. Fellowship with other believers should be close, and 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.
Because God loves us, our mission is to love Him first and share Christ's unconditional love with others through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
