Who is the Church of the Nazarene?

Our Church is one of over 5,000 Churches of the Nazarene; called Nazarene because Jesus, being from Nazareth, was called “the Nazarene”.

Our congregation is made up of people of all ages, races, and backgrounds. We love children, young people, adults, married couples, singles, and the elderly. We take seriously the prayer requests of our congregation and hold each other up in prayer and support.

We have an active missionary society which studies about, prays for, and supports financially the world-wide missions program of our church. We also serve our community by providing food for the hungry and offering compassionate ministries as they are needed. For additional information on the missionary program of the Church, or how you may get involved in missions, speak with the Pastor or the president of the local missionary society of the church.

Cambrian Park Church is a true New Testament church. We honor orthodox Christian Doctrine: the work of the Trinity with God the Father, Jesus the Son our only Savior, and the Holy Spirit. We place great emphasis on God’s Word, the Holy Bible, with solid Biblical teaching in all our worship services. We believe that all people must respond to God’s offer of salvation by grace alone. We believe that the Church is made up of those who have been Born Again through faith in Jesus Christ’s saving work, and that these believers are those called to ministry both in the Church and in the world.

What we Believe

We believe in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.

We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.

We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.

We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.

We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.

We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
