ABOUT OUR CHURCH
Community Fellowship is committed to reaching out to people who are far from God. Rather than run from culture, we have chosen to harness it to connect with people and show them the life changing power of God’s timeless truths found in his word, the Bible.
Although our approach is anything but traditional, we believe in and maintain a conservative theological position.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired and relevant Word of God.
We believe that all people have sinned and need God’s grace and forgiveness which is abundantly available through Jesus’ death on the Cross.
We believe that as Christians we need to offer our whole lives to God that he might cleanse our hearts from the attitude of Sin (the Biblical word for this is sanctification). When we surrender ourselves to God completely, His Spirit can fully mold us into Christlikeness; His perfect Love is reflected in our attitudes and actions; and God empowers us to live more abundantly.
We believe God draws us to Himself but the decision to respond is ours.
We believe that an individual must repent and trust Christ to receive forgiveness and eternal life.
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, carrying on His purposes in the world.
We believe that God can bring healing.
We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again.
We practice the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
What is a Nazarene? Community Fellowship Church is a part of The Church of the Nazarene which is a world-wide Protestant denomination that believes in: the Bible as the Word of God, proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ as the mission of the Church and being filled with the Holy Spirit as the power for victorious living. We hold to all the traditional evangelical Bible beliefs in the tradition of John Wesley and the Methodist revivals of the 1800s.
We are named after “Jesus the Nazarene” (Matthew 2:23). Nazareth was Jesus’ hometown and was considered “on the other side of the tracks.” (John 1:46) The apostle Paul was later called “the ringleader of the Nazarene sect.” (Acts 24:5)
What is unique about the Nazarene Church? We emphasize the need for a fully devoted dedication to God. We believe that Jesus should not only be our Savior but that God should be the leader and controller of our fully surrendered life….in other words our love for God should be genuine, sincere, and visible to others. This takes the power of the Holy Spirit to completely fill our lives and break the power of sin in our hearts.
