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 156 world areas.
The Church of the Nazarene is a
Great Commission church. Our mission is to make Christlike disciples in
the nations. 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.
