Statement of Faith

These brief explanations introduce the beliefs expressed in the Nazarene Statement of Faith. For the full denominational wording, follow the official source below.

God: Father, Son, and Spirit

We worship one God, known as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Scripture

The inspired Old and New Testaments guide our faith and contain the truth needed for Christian life.

Our need for grace

Our fallen nature inclines us toward sin. We need God to restore us.

Salvation through Jesus Christ

Christ’s atonement is for everyone. Through repentance and faith, we receive forgiveness, new birth, and freedom from sin’s rule.

Entire sanctification

After new birth, believers are called to receive entire sanctification through faith in Christ. God makes us wholly his.

The Spirit’s assurance

The Holy Spirit assures believers of new birth and entire sanctification.

Christ’s return and eternal destiny

Jesus will return. The dead will rise and God will judge. Persistently refusing repentance leads to eternal loss.
