The Mission of Nazareth Presbyterian Church

The mission of Nazareth Presbyterian Church is to provide an opportunity for its members to know Christ personally; to worship and glorify God; to grow spiritually; to create an environment in which to comfort those in need; and to make disciples who will spread His Word and compassion through witness and service in this community and the world.

This mission should be characterized by a strong and vital program where worship, proclamation, fellowship, nurture and outreach can take place. Worship should afford an opportunity for persons to sense God's presence, praise His name, and commune with Him while being uplifted and strengthened. Proclamation should provide for preaching and teaching the Word of God and making known the love of God in Jesus Christ for all persons. Fellowship should provide for building a close-knit group of persons bound together by a sense of God's love for them and a loving concern for one another, where sorrows and joys are shared in a caring atmosphere. Christian nurture should provide opportunities for persons of all ages to study, learn, and develop a stronger, more solid, well-grounded faith and be equipped for working and living the Christian life in a difficult and trying world. Outreach should provide Nazareth Christians the opportunity to move out into the community, even to the outermost parts of the world, with the message of salvation in Jesus Christ, with love and help for those less fortunate, the hurting, the downtrodden, the victims of injustice, always being a light to a dark world in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Church is people who enter to worship and who depart to serve. The Church is to equip its people to perform God's directives in the world, for where there is no vision, the people perish.
