Beliefs and Mission

Our Beliefs

These are the beliefs that Nazarenes hold to be true:

  • We
    believe in one God – the Father, the Son, and the 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 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.

Our Mission

The mission of Lansing International Church of the Nazarene is to:

  • Reach out to those in Lansing and beyond who do not know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and help them become disciples of Christ.
  • Equip the body of Christ to become more Christlike through prayer, the Word of God, and through ministry.
  • Strengthen our unity as a community that is in dialogue with God and in fellowship with one another.
