 The Church of the Nazarene is located in over 5,700 neighborhoods across North America. The buildings reflect almost every architectural style and time period; some boast soaring colonial spires, while others are boldly contemporary, and still others are purely functional. Whatever may be on the outside of the building, there are common denominators inside every Nazarene congregation - most of which have to do with relationships. For instance . . .
- A warm fellowship is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a Nazarene congregation. Because of that you can usually expect:
- A friendly sense of community and care for families, singles, newlyweds, senior citizens, young children, teens, and all ages between.
- A concern for families expressed in social activities, service opportunities, learning situations, and worship experiences.
- Participation in ministry through Sunday School, men's and women's organizations, youth and children's programs.
- Spiritual nurture is the church's most basic responsibility. In a Church of the Nazarene this nurture will be expressed by
- Pastoral counseling and prayer meetings.
- Special times of evangelism and outreach.
- Opportunities for times of public commitment and prayer at the alter.
- Participation in the sacraments, both baptism and Communion.
- Graded study programs like Sunday School and Bible study groups.
- Retreats for teens through adults.
- Providing opportunity for ministry.

Statement of Faith

| WHAT WE BELIEVE |
| |
|
We believe in one God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God
We believe God created man and woman in His own image but that sin has separated us from God.
We believe that each person must turn away from his/her sin, accept Jesus Christ and trust Him only to be restored to a right relationship with God.
We believe that Jesus Christ, who being fully God, became fully man and through His life, death on a cross, and resurrection from the grave, broke the power of Satan, sin and death.
We believe that when we turn from sin and trust in Christ, the old record of sin is wiped clean, and we are born anew, thus becoming part of the family of God.
We believe that after being born anew, we need the fullness of God's Spirit in our hearts. When we make a complete commitment to Him, He cleanses our spirit, fills us with His perfect love, and gives us the power to live victoriously.
We believe in the Church-the Community that confesses Jesus Christ as Lord, the Body of Christ that is committed to building one another up in love, the Covenant People of God both here and around the world.
We believe in celebrating the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper
We believe that God heals and we pray for healing. WE also believe that God works through medical science.
We believe that Jesus Christ will come again and that the final judgement will occur.
