Image Image Top Title What We Bottom Title BELIEVE Description The Church of the Nazarene is the largest denomination in the classical Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. The doctrine that distinguishes the Church of the Nazarene and other Wesleyan denominations from most other Christian denominations is that of entire sanctification. Nazarenes believe that God calls Christians to a life of holy living that is marked by an act of God, cleansing the heart from original sin and filling the individual with love for God and humankind. Image Our Articles of faith are our foundational beliefs, and set forth the essential truths which guide every area of practice. ARTICLES OF FAITH Image Our Statement of Mission defines who we are, why we exist, and our reason for being. MISSION Image Our Core Values are the essence of our identity and support the vision of our denomination and help shape our culture. CORE VALUES Image Image Top Title We are making Bottom Title DISCIPLES WYSIWYG Content Christian discipleship is a way of life. It is the process of learning how God would have us live in the world. As we learn to live in obedience to the Word of God, in submission to the disciplines of the faith, and in accountability to one another, we begin to understand the true joy of the disciplined life and the Christian meaning of freedom. Discipleship is not merely human effort, submitting to rules and regulations. It is the means through which the Holy Spirit gradually brings us to maturity in Christ. It is through discipleship that we become people of Christian character. The ultimate goal of discipleship is to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18).
