Welcome to this house of worship. We hope our greetings
will convey the pleasure we feel in having
you visit us. Although you are a visitor,
don't feel as a stranger, for you are among
God's people. May every aspect of our service
bless and encourage you.
If you wish, bow your head in silent prayer
for those who minister and for your fellow
worshipers. Ask God to prepare your own heart
to receive a touch from Him.
Join the the congregational singing. We hope
that the selections will be familiar. We
highly regard the old, standard devotional
hymns, but we also enjoy the more modern,
spirited gospel songs of praise and testimony.
We believe that joy and praise are always
appropriate in the house of the Lord.
Unite your prayer with ours. Our public prayers
are informal and extemporaneous and usually
expressed with unmistakable earnestness.
Sometimes we kneel or we may stand. Whatever
the posture, we approach our Heavenly Father
with reverence and expectancy and address
our prayers in the name of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.
When the offering plate is passed, do not
be embarrassed if you are not prepared to
participate or if you have obligations elsewhere.
When the minister stands before you to deliver
today's message, you may be sure that he
or she has prayed earnestly before coming
to the pulpit. Our pastor is committed to
ask for God's guidance in each aspect of
the service.
The Church of the Nazarene is evangelical
in doctrine and evangelistic in practice.
We believe the Bible to the the inspired
Word of God, the Foundation of Christian
faith, and the Guide to devout, God-fearing
living. We believe in revivals, in preaching
repentance and urging men and women to forsake
sin and seek God for forgiveness and cleansing.
"The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and
be gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give thee peace"
(Numbers 6:24-26)
