The Church of the Nazarene
Pursuit Fellowship belongs to an international network and fellowship of churches known as the Church of the Nazarene. The Church of the Nazarene provides us with moral, spiritual and financial accountability.
The Church of the Nazarene was founded, in 1908, to spread the message of Scriptural holiness (Christ-like living) across the lands. The Church of the Nazarene is a “Great Commission” church. We believe God offers everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love, meaning in life and the promise of heaven through a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are called to take this message to people everywhere.
The Church of the Nazarene is also a holiness church. We believe that Christians can experience a deeper level of life in which there is victory over sin, power to witness and serve, and a richer fellowship with God, all through the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
The Church of the Nazarene describes itself as a Christian, Protestant, and Evangelical church.

Belief Statement
These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true
We believe…
- in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
- that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
- that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
- 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.
- that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
- that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
- that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
Service Questions
More Details…
- What are the worship services like?
We work hard to make sure every weekend service is creative and relevant to your life. - What about my children?
While you are enjoying an exciting worship service, your children will be well cared for in a nurturing, fun, safe,clean, and age-appropriate environment. We have childcare for children ages 0 to Pre-K and a fun and dynamic Kids service is available for kids K to 6. - What’s the vision of Pursuit Fellowship?
It is our goal to “help people become fully-devoted followers of Christ.” - Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?
If you are visiting, we don’t ask you to give when we pass the offering plate. We will not make you wear a visitor badge or stand up so that everyone can see you. We would like you to fill out a care and communication card so that we can assist you. - What should I wear?
Some people come dressed in jeans and t-shirts while others come dressed business casual. If you prefer to wear ties or a dress, that’s fine too. We want you to feel comfortable while we experience worship together.
