Who We Are

We are real people, living in a real world, serving a real God. We are a community of people who are striving together to discover God’s purpose and plan for our lives.  Proverbs 27:17 states that “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. ” So, we believe that life is better together!

Here at South Weymouth Church of the Nazarene, we understand the church is not the building but the people.  We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow together through fellowship that ultimately brings us closer to God. We value the Word of God and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all people and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus.

South Weymouth Church of the Nazarene is a part of the International Church of the Nazarene, 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.

WE ARE A ...

CHRISTIAN PEOPLE

As members of the Church of the Nazarene, we join with all true believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ and in embracing the historic Trinitarian creedal statements of the Christian faith. We value our Wesleyan-Holiness heritage and believe it to be a way of understanding the faith that is true to Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience.

HOLINESS PEOPLE

God, who is holy, calls us to a life of holiness. We believe that the Holy Spirit seeks to do in us a work of grace, called by various terms including “entire sanctification” and “baptism with the Holy Spirit”-cleansing us from sin, renewing us in the image of God, empowering us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves, and producing in us the character of Christ. Holiness in the life of believers is most clearly understood as Christlikeness.

MISSIONAL PEOPLE

We are a sent people, responding to the call of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to go into all the world, witnessing to the Lordship of Christ and participating with God in the building of the Church and the extension of His kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:1). Our mission (a) begins in worship, (b) ministers to the world in evangelism and compassion, (c) encourages believers toward Christian maturity through discipleship, and (d) prepares women and men for Christian service through Christian higher education.
