Hello, and welcome to our website !
Many people these days have little or no idea of what goes on in a church.
A Christian church is really the people who form the regular congregation
and who share their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
Jesus siad, "If you love me, keep my commandments", and
when
he was aksed what was the greatest commandment, he replied, "Love
God with all your heart and soul, and your neighbour as yourself".
Members of the Church of the Nazarene meet to worship God by singing,
praying together, studying the Bible, and by sharing each other's needs.
They also
try to share their faith with their family, their friends and the people
they meet each day, to let them know that they can also know that God
has forgiven their sins through faith in Jesus' death and resurrection.
Jesus'
promise was that all those who put their faith in Him would go to be
with Him when they died.
We believe that the Bible is the revealed Word of God, and it is our
only source of doctrine and guidance for daily living. Our teaching,
in Sunday
School, in our uniformed youth group and to adults is soundly based on
the Bible.
The church is also about helping others, and the church of the Nazarene
worldwide is a vast organisation which offers practical and spiritual
help in over 140 world areas. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries are
often in
the forefront of giving aid when natural disasters strike.
Our folk like to meet socially and they need little excuse to have
a meal together !
We share Holy Communion together on the first Sunday morning of the
month, and all who have found faith in Jesus Christ are very welcome
to participte.
Our ministers are usually trained at Nazarene
Theological College, Manchester, and affilitate college of the University of
Manchester, although some
come into the ministry from other churches.
We take an active part in the Ardrossan churches group and the calendar of events organised together. This includes the Christmas carol Service, Easter Services during Holy week, Armistice Sunday services and Christian Aid week.
We love to sing and we try to cater for traditional and modern
tastes in our worship.
The Church of the Nazarene provides many
opportunities for people to join teams going to Third World and developing
countries to
help for
short or
longer periods. Many who go are tradesmen and professional
people, but one lady over 70 years of age, recently went to Romania and
simply washed
dishes and looked after the kitchen. She is keen to go again.
We share our doctrinal position with the Methodist church and
the teachings of John Wesley, emphasising the work of God's
Holy Spirit
in the life
of a Christian.
Why not drop in some Sunday if you do not have a regular church
connection ? You can be assured of a warm welcome.
