What We Believe
In one God - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
That the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
That man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
That the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified, regenerated, and saved from the dominion of sin.
Those believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth and also to the entire sanctification of believers.

Doctrine
The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Christian church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. Organized in 1908, the denomination has a strong emphasis on missions. Look at this: about 2.3 million members worshiping in more than 29,000 local congregations in 159 world areas. We're everywhere!
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.
This experience is marked by entire consecration of the believer to do God's will and is followed by a life of seeking to serve God through service to others.
Like salvation, entire sanctification is an act of God's grace, not of works. We can't save ourselves, and we can't sanctify ourselves. God does it all. Subsequently, our service to God is an act of love, and gratitude for his grace which he has extended to us through Jesus Christ.
