Church of the Nazarene
in your NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Church of the Nazarene is located in over 5,500 neighborhoods across North America. The buildings reflect almost every architectural style and time period; some boast soaring colonial spires, while others are boldly contemporary, and still others are purely functional. Whatever may be on the outside of the building, there are common denominators inside every Nazarene congregation – most of which have to do with relationships.
A Warm Fellowship is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a Nazarene congregation
Because of that you can usually expect:
-
A friendly sense of community and care for families, singles, newlyweds, senior citizens, young children, teens, and all ages between
-
A concern for families expressed in social activities, service opportunities, learning situations, and worship experiences
-
Participation in ministry through Sunday School, men’s and women’s organizations, youth and children’s programs
Spiritual nurture is the church’s most basic responsibility. In a Church of the Nazarene this nurture will be expressed by:
-
Pastoral counseling and prayer meetings
-
Special times of evangelism and outreach
-
Opportunities for times of public commitment and prayer at the altar
-
Participation in the sacraments, both Baptism and Communion
-
Graded study programs like Sunday School and Bible Study Groups
-
Retreats for teens through adults
-
Providing opportunity for ministry
