ABOUT US
Sherwood nazarene church
Our Vision
We are called to become: people of prayer, people who grow in Christlikeness,
people who serve and advance God's Kingdom.
We will pray, grow, serve to see Your Kingdom come!
Our Mission
As people called to advance God's Kingdom, we choose to be led by Jesus. We will participate and encourage others in to a life devoted to prayer and spiritual growth. Empowered by Holy Spirit, through training and equipping, we will serve our local church and community for God's glory.
Our Strategy
At Sherwood Church of the Nazarene, Pray. Grow. Serve. Your Kingdom Come. is more than a phrase we put on a wall or at the bottom of a page.
It expresses the heart of who we believe God is calling us to become.
We believe Jesus is forming a people who know Him, listen to Him, become more like Him,
and join Him in His work in the world.
Our desire is not simply to attend church, but to become a people whose lives are increasingly shaped by the Kingdom of God—in our homes, our relationships, our church, our workplaces, and our community.
The 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. It was founded to spread the message of scriptural holiness (Christlike living) across the lands. Today the Church of the Nazarene is located in 159 world areas.
The Church of the Nazarene is a Great Commission church. We believe that God offers to everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love, meaning in life, and the promise of heaven when life is over by entering and experiencing a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are called to take this message to people everywhere.
The Church of the Nazarene is also a holiness church. We believe that Christians can experience a deeper level of life in which there is victory over sin, power to witness and serve, and a richer fellowship with God, all through the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
With over 30,000 congregations, our vision and mission embraces the entire world. Each local congregation of the Church of the Nazarene is a faith community ready to greet you in Jesus’ name. There you will discover opportunities not only to encounter Jesus as your Savior and Lord but also to grow as a follower of Christ. Local churches offer worship, opportunities for serving others, fellowship, and training.
