Our Mission Statement   |   Our Heritage    |    Our Core Values

Our Mission Statement

"We are committed to being a place where people can find Love, Hope, and a Purpose in life.  We do this by: Exalting God in Worship, Encouraging Christians toward spiritual maturity, Equipping saints for ministry, extending our hands in compassion, and evangelizing the unchurched for Christ.”

Our Heritage

“The Church of the Nazarene, from its beginnings, has confessed itself to be a branch of the "one, holy, universal, and apostolic" church and has sought to be faithful to it. It confesses as its own the history of the people of God recorded in the Old and New Testaments, and that same history as it has extended from the days of the apostles to our own. As its own people, it embraces the people of God through the ages, those redeemed through Jesus Christ in whatever expression of the one church they may be found. It receives the ecumenical creeds of the first five Christian centuries as expressions of its own faith. While the Church of the Nazarene has responded to its special calling to proclaim the doctrine and experience of entire sanctification, it has taken care to retain and nurture identification with the historic church in its preaching of the Word, its administration of the sacraments, its concern to raise up and maintain a ministry that is truly apostolic in faith and practice, and its inculcating of disciplines for Christ-like living and service to others.”
