For more information see the official site of the International Church of the Nazarene
The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Christian Church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, tracing its roots to an anniversary date of 1908 with a mission to make Christlike Disciples in the Nations.
Theology
The Church of the Nazarene is the largest denomination in the 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. 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. Our pursuant service to God is an act of love whereby we show our appreciation for the grace that has been extended to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
With almost 26,000 congregations and over 2 million members in 156 world areas, our vision and mission embraces the entire world. We invite you to experience the unique fellowship of the El Dorado Springs Church of the Nazarene.
