About Us
Our Mission
At the First Church of the Nazarene, We are a Great Commission church (Matthew 28:19-20) our commitment is to share the love of Christ, the Good News of salvation with our families, friends, neighbors and everyone we encounter. We are committed to serving our community and spreading the message of hope, faith, and grace. Through worship, fellowship, and outreach; We are commissioned to make disciples, by teaching sound doctrine from the Holy scriptures and together learning to be Christ-like Disciples. we strive to make a lasting impact on both our congregation and the world around us.
Our Beliefs
We believe in the power of God's Word and the transformative love of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection have paved the way for us to enter a new relationship with God. This relationship is not based on self-help, nor is it based on laws and rules; rather, it is based on love... This forgiveness is found in Jesus Christ. Although He lived a sinless life, He died as a sacrifice for your sins and my sins. His resurrection to life on the third day demonstrates that we are not forgiven only to die to sin… but to LIVE a life of holy love! Beyond mere forgiveness, we believe that God sets us free from our past so that we can serve Him and others in love.
We believe God is calling you to a life of HOLINESS!
We believe that as you place your faith in Jesus Christ, you become a child of God (John 1:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17), but this is just the beginning. We believe God calls all believers to grow daily in His grace as we learn to walk with Christ; like any child, growth happens gradually over time, and the Holy Spirit working in us, urges us to fully surrender our lives to Him as we allow God complete control of our lives, this is called "Entire Sanctification"... We also believe in Jesus return for His church, we call it "The rapture" as the angels told the disciples in Acts 1:9-11 and Paul writes in his letter; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. and our hearts are thrilled at the thought of our Lord's return! We live in eager expectation of his arrival. We share the gospel , the good news of salvation for all who come to him.
