About Church of the Nazarene Denomination

The Church of the Nazarene is an evangelical Christian denomination that emerged in North America from the Wesleyan-Holiness movement within Methodism during the late 19th century.

The denomination has its headquarters in Lenexa, Kansas. and its members are commonly referred to as Nazarenes. It is the largest denomination in the world aligned with the Wesleyan-Holiness movement, with just under 3 million members worldwide. The Church of the Nazarene is also one of the more culturally conservative members of the World Methodist Council. The denomination differentiates itself by placing particular emphasis on the process of sanctification as a part of the Holiness movement.

Mission and vision

The mission of the Church of the Nazarene is taken from the Great Commission in Matthew 28. "To make Christlike disciples in the nations" was adopted in 2006 as the Church's mission statement. In 2009, it refined that mission statement to be expressed by "making disciples through evangelism, education, showing compassion, working for justice, and bearing witness to the kingdom of God."

The denominational vision is: "to be a disciple-making church, an international community of faith, in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition."

Core values

Since 2001, the three "core values" of the Church have been identified as "Christian, Holiness, Missional". In 2013, the Church adopted seven characteristics to express the core values which are meaningful worship, theological coherence, passionate evangelicalism, intentional discipleship, church development, transformational leadership, and purposeful compassion.

The guiding principles for the Church are found in a book called The Manual for the Church of the Nazarene (also referred to as just The Manual) and it is updated every four years during a convention called General Assembly. General Assembly is "the supreme doctrine-formulating and lawmaking body of the Church of the Nazarene". The Manual is the official "statement of faith and practice of the church... and therefore authoritative as a guide for action."

The Manual includes a brief historical statement of the denomination; the sixteen core beliefs, or Articles of Faith; its Constitution details the Church polity; and guidance on living a contemporary Christian lifestyle.
