Welcome
In the year 1890, the Church of the Nazarene as a denomination was totally unknown in Texas. From the early days of the denomination, God had a plan and purpose for the people called Nazarenes. The message of holiness, one that had social implications, burned in the hearts of early members. That passion is still alive and, in fact, has been revitalized in recent years. We have a hope-filled message that is a joy to share with people who are hungry for deeper meaning in life. Our mission is simply stated: “To make Christlike disciples in the nations.”
The Church of the Nazarene traces its anniversary date to 1908. Its organization was a marriage that, like every marriage, linked existing families and created a new one. As an expression of the holiness movement and its emphasis on the sanctified life, our founders came together to form one people. Utilizing evangelism, compassionate ministries, and education, their church went forth to become a people of many cultures and tongues.
