About Us
What is the Church of the Nazarene?
As a global community of faith, we are commissioned to take the Good News of life in Jesus Christ to people everywhere and to spread the message of scriptural holiness across the lands.
The Church of the Nazarene is the largest denomination in 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.
Our Core Values are the essence of our identity and support the vision of our denomination and help shape our culture.
