As we consider the great priorities of the church, we recognize as well that this love for God must overflow into our relationships with others. Love your neighbor as yourself, Jesus tells us. It is impossible to love God absolutely and not love the people He loves. Nowhere should this be more clear and apparent than in the church. When a community of people come together, testifying to their love for God, nothing less than a genuine love for one another...
Do you really trust God with the church? One of the greatest barriers we face in the revitalization of our churches is a lack of trust. We sense that we are responsible for the survival and success of the church, and so we cling to what we know, trying to ensure its continued existence.

Agreed Statement of Belief
These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true:
We believe in one God-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe 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 and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
