| About Nazarenes |
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 (Christ-like 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.
We Believe That God,
In Christ wants to revive His Church and save those who are bound by sin and
all it's effects. He wants us to be the salt and light in this world and to
be used as His hands and feet in this present day..
Therefore this is our desire as His Church..
To Teach The World
"Go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things
that I have commanded you."
To Be A Place Of Prayer
"My House will be called a house of prayer for All nations."
To Be A Place Of Christian Fellowship
"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one to
another."
To Be A Place Of Refuge And Rest
"Come unto Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you
rest. Take My yoke upon you and lean on Me.. and you will find rest for your
souls." |
