What We Believe:
We believe in one God-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
We believe that people are born separated from God and inclined to evil.
We believe that those who, as a final disposition, willingly reject God’s merciful grace are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whoever repents and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is saved from sin.
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.

Our Local Church:
We are a church that believes that Jesus taught us to love God with all of our hearts, all of our souls, and all of our minds. He then commanded us to love each other as ourselves. Everything we do, we do with this in mind. We are spurred to action because Jesus commanded us to heal the sick, care for the poor, the widows, and the orphans. We exist to have a personal relationship with God and to transform our world around us.
Our Denomination:
The Church of the Nazarene is the largest Holiness denomination in the world. The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Christian Church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. Organized in 1908, the church is now home to more than 18,000 congregations in 151 world areas. 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.
The Church of the Nazarene is a Great Commission church. 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.
