The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Church, adhering to core doctrines of the Judeo-Christian faith.  We are also a global Church and the largest denomination in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition.  The key doctrine of Wesleyan denominations is entire sanctification.  We believe God wants a family – a human family.  He calls His family to live a holy life, free from sin, and wholly devoted to Jesus Christ.  Entire sanctification is an act of God, through faith, by which He cleanses us from the power of sin and enables us to love Him and people as Christ would.

Here’s the caveat.  Entire sanctification doesn’t make anyone perfect, better, “holier than thou,” or sinless.  What it does, however, is empowers the follower of Jesus to sin less, love more, and live in humility.  It is a journey toward living as Jesus would have us live.

Furthermore, you will discover that the Nazarene Church is a large family.  You can go almost anywhere in the world and find a local Nazarene congregation who will welcome you as a friend, brother, or sister.
