The Mission of the Church of the Nazarene

We are a Missional people

As Christian, holiness people, we embrace the mission of God in the world.  Through God’s grace, responding to Christ and empowered by the Holy Sprit, our Christian missions calls us to 1) worship, 2)witness, and 3) discipleship as we extend God’s mission to our world.

Our Mission of Worship

We exist to bring glory to God.

The mission of the church begins in the adoration of God and the confession of Jesus Christ as Lord who redeems us in grace and mercy.

 As the Body of Christ, we gather before God, we hear the Word proclaimed, we participate in the sacraments, and we respond in gratitude and obedience and service.  Through the divine encounter, the Holy Sprit continually transforms us into the likeness of Christ so that we may reflect he glory of God to the world.

 Our Mission of Witness – Evangelism, Compassion, and Justice

Embracing the mission of God in the world, we proclaim in word and deed the gospel of Jesus Christ.  As people who are consecrated to God, we share God’s love for the lost  and compassion for the poor and broken.  The Great Commandment and the Great Commission move us to engage the world in evangelism, compassion and justice.  To this end, we are committed to inviting people to faith in Christ, to caring for those in need, to standing against injustice and with the oppressed, to working to protect and preserve the resources of God’s creation, and to welcoming into our fellowship all who seek the Lord.

Our Mission of Discipleship

To be Christian is to be a disciple, a follower of Jesus in everyday live.  WE are committed to becoming and making disciples who express their obedience to Jesus Christ in there everyday live in the life of the local church.
 
It is God’s desire for all disciples to grown in Christlikeness.  Therefore, we are committed to providing the means through which Christian disciples might grow together into communities marked by obedience to God and faithful witness.
 
Our commitment to Christian maturity leads  us to nurture Christian disciples and to teach them to love God with their whole heart, soul, and mind and their neighbor as themselves.  Through our seminaries a and Bible colleges, universalities and colleges, and ministry training centers, as well as publishing endeavors, we aim to develop and shape servant leaders who will serve Christ through the church and the world.
