A Nazarene community of faith which is both Christian, Holiness and Missional. A church where ALL people are invited to experience the journey of grace together.

GREATER VISION NAZARENE CHURCH confesses itself to be Christian - a branch of Christ’s “one, holy, universal, and apostolic” church, embracing as its own the history of God’s people recorded in the Old and New Testaments and God’s people through the ages, in all expressions of Christ’s church. Nazarenes receive the creeds of the first five Christian centuries as expressions of its own faith. We identify with the historic church in preaching the Word, administering the sacraments, maintaining a ministry of apostolic faith and practice, and inculcating the disciplines of Christlike living and service in promoting Scriptural Holiness (as detailed in the COTN Manual).

We are a 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 second work of grace, “entire sanctification” or “baptism with the Holy Spirit” - cleansing us from all 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.

We are a missional people - called to "carry the light" as we spread the Gospel message of our eternal hope found only in Jesus Christ to the ends of the Earth.

Therefore, we are a “sent people,” responding in obedience to the call of Christ - 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 His Church and the extension of His Kingdom.
