What We Believe
The Church of the Nazarene is a
Protestant Christian church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, tracing
its roots to an anniversary date of 1908. It was founded to spread the
message of scriptural holiness (Christlike living) across the lands.
Today the Church of the Nazarene is located in 151 world areas.
The Church of the Nazarene is a Great Commission church. We believe that
God offers to everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love, 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
are called to take this message to people everywhere.
The Church of the Nazarene is also a holiness church. We believe that
Christians can experience a deeper level of life in which there is
victory over sin, power to witness and serve, and a richer fellowship
with God, all through the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
