MILLINOCKET CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE Mission & Values
Our Mission Statement: Journey with people toward Jesus
Our Definition of a Disciple: A disciple is devoted to a lifelong process of following and being changed by Jesus and seeks to build His Kingdom through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Our Values:
THE Word before A word. We value that scripture is the inspired Word of God, being effective for all parts of life. The Bible is a road map providing God’s direction and wisdom for living.
WE before ME. We value connections by building authentic relationships through love and service. These relationships are meant to last more than just a lifetime. We follow the examples of Christ by being servants.
A loved community loves. We value the idea that God offers love that remains as change in our community. We see the need to journey with people by reaching out in order to journey with them in eternity.
Everywhere prayer. We value prayer that is never ceasing. It is a foundation of who we are, not just an addition to our lives.
Generation of Regeneration: We value the way God makes all things new. We value journeying with youth to help develop them into the people that God is calling them to be. Whether they be young in age or in their Journey with God.
Our Way points

Agreed Statement of Belief
These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true:
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.
