The Nazarenes - Our Mission

The Church of the Nazarene is a "Great Commission" church. Our members therefore seek to witness faithfully and attractively to all people so that the life of Christ within the believers will draw others to the love, worship, and service of God.

We are called especially to preach the gospel to the poor. The basic vehicles through which we carry out our mission are corporate worship, evangelism, compassionate ministry, Christian nurture, and education.
Because the whole people of God constitute "the Church," and because each Christian is called to ministry by virtue of his or her baptism, every believer in the Church of the Nazarene has a role in carrying out the mission to which we are called as a corporate body.
