About Our Church
We're a small, but growing congregation. Our church is
very family-oriented. with warm friendly people. People are
encouraged to discover their talents and the joy of serving our
Lord, Jesus Christ.
Who are
the Nazarenes? And who is "the Nazarene" anyway?
We
understand that not everyone is familiar with our denomination. so
we're glad to be able to let folks know what we stand for.
"The
Nazarene'' is Jesus, of course. ''And he came and dwelt in a city
called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.'' (Matthew 2:23)
The
Church of the Nazarene was organized in 1908, and is an
international church with a strong emphasis on missions. We support
665 missionaries and have over 1.2 million members in more than
12,000 churches in the United States. Canada, and in 114 other world
areas. The Church of the Nazarene also supports colleges and
universities, elementary and secondary schools, hospitals and
clinics. all around the world. Our beliefs are evangelic Christian,
with examples on the doctrine of entire sanctification, for a
complete explanation, you may wish to view the Articles of Faith
from our church manual. (available from Pastor)
