What is a Nazarene?
We are a Christian People (Our Saving Faith)
As members of the Christian Church, we join with believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ and in embracing the historic Trinitarian (we believe in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) creedal statements of Christian faith. We value our Wesleyan Holiness heritage and believe it to be a way of understanding the faith that is revealed in Holy Scripture and verified by reason, tradition, and experience as God's means of revealing His love to us. The gift of God in Christ is a free, gracious gift of salvation for all who believe and choose a life of discipleship and ministry.
We can be a Holiness People (His Transforming Grace)
God, who is holy, calls us to a life of holiness. We believe that the Holy Spirit seeks to do in us a deeper work of grace that will cleanse us from sin; renew us in the image of God; empower us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves; and produce in us the character of Christ always by faith. Holiness in the life of a believer is most clearly understood as Christlikeness and is the purpose of God in the redemption of humanity.
We are to be a Missional People ( Empowered to Witness)
We are a sent people, responding to the call of Christ and led by the Holy Spirit into the world, witnessing to the Lordship of Christ and participating with God in the building of the Church and the extension of His kingdom. “Missions” is not a program or auxiliary, but a way of ministering to all people of all colors and cultures. God's call to us is not to save the world in our merit, but rather to bear witness to His love for us through Christ. Missional people and congregations give themselves to living and retelling the gospel story (using words only when necessary.) Mission work begins at the nearest point of need around us and compels us to the "ends of the earth" in the name and with the spirit of Christ.
