Welcome to Bayshore Church of the Nazarene!
We want to welcome you to the website of the Bayshore Church of the Nazarene. The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Christian church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, tracing its roots to an anniversary date of 1908. It was founded to spread the message of scriptural holiness (Christlike living) across the lands. Today the Church of the Nazarene is located in 155 world areas.
The Church of the Nazarene is a Great Commission church. We believe that God offers to everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love, meaning in life, and the promise of heaven when life is over by entering and experiencing 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.
Through these links on the top of the site, you can learn more about the history, basic beliefs, Articles of Faith, and core values of the Church of the Nazarene.
The Bayshore Church of the Nazarene is a faith community ready to greet you in Jesus’ name. When you visit us you will discover opportunities not only to encounter Jesus as your Savior and Lord but also to grow as a follower of Christ. We offer worship, opportunities for serving others, fellowship, and training. We invite you to experience the unique fellowship of the Bayshore Church of the Nazarene.
