OUR MISSION The mission of the Church of the Nazarene is to share with our neighbors the hope that is available to all through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to allow him to transform our lives, and to grow together on our spiritual journey. The Foundation of Our Mission
The Command of Christ known as The GREAT Commission is at the core of our mission.
Matthew 28:19-20 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Key Components of Our Mission
--both our relationship with God and with our "neighbors."
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."
Matthew 22:37-39
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing, and perfect will."
Romans 12:2
"...we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."
Ephesians 4:15b-16
"...grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 3:18
