The command of Jesus to go and make disciples in the nations directly reflects our mission as a church. We are disciples of Jesus, devoted followers, who want to make disciples who make disciples.<\/p>\n<h5>Evangelism and Outreach<\/h5>\n<p>We are a church that wants to see people come to know Jesus and His saving and sanctifying grace. We are participants in the Mission of God to redeem His children.<\/p>\n<h5>Unity<\/h5>\n<p>We are a church that loves each other supernaturally. We are a family of God, we are the body of Christ. We bear each others burdens, we welcome people into our growing family, and we are thrilled to do life together. In our community, we want to be united with other churches as well in the mission to reach people for Christ.<\/p>\n<h5>The Word of God<\/h5>\n<p>We are a church that burns with passion for the truth from the Bible. We believe that the Bible reveals the inerrant will of God for all things concerning salvation. We believe in correctly interpreting scripture through intense study and personal devotion so that the Spirit can lead us into a deeper relationship with Him.<\/p>\n<h5>Prayer<\/h5>\n<p>We are a church on our knees. We rely on prayer as a means of spiritual formation and growth. More than that, we pray often and hard because we have a relationship with God and want to know him more every day.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>We believe&#8230;<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><strong>We believe<\/strong>\u00a0in one God\u2014the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We believe<\/strong>\u00a0that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We believe<\/strong>\u00a0that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We believe<\/strong>\u00a0that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We believe<\/strong>\u00a0that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We believe<\/strong>\u00a0that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We believe\u00a0<\/strong>that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We believe<\/strong>\u00a0that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Church of the Nazarene, click <a href=\"http:\/\/nazarene.org\/nazarene-glance\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mission: To make disciples in Lynn and the nations.
