About Us.
You might be wondering, what's it really like at Lake Havasu Church of the Nazarene? Simply stated, at the Lake Havasu Church of the Nazarene, we're all about Jesus. You won't be met with shame, guilt, or judgement. We don't care how you're dressed or what candidate you voted for. Our church is made up of imperfect people with every kind of story imaginable.
Want to know the best part? No matter what you've been through or what questions you might have about God and faith, our church is a place where you'll find the love, grace, and forgiveness Jesus gives to everyone.
Our Values.
The following are the core values of the Nazarene church.
Our mission statement is to reach our broken world with the love and hope of Jesus Christ!
Holiness
We believe that God calls us to live a holy life. The Holy Spirit convicts, cleanses, fills, and empowers us. The Bible also informs us of how to live a holy life. God's spirit works within us to reproduce in us a character of holy love.
Christian
We are followers of Christ. We profess belief in Jesus as the Christ and follow His teachings. Additionally, we believe that God offers grace and will forgive our sins if we let the Holy Spirit in our hearts. We believe in the Trinity.
Outreach
God tells us that we need to help others. We are a witness to God's love and it's our job to share this love. Therefore, we do this by serving our community and world through practical methods and by covering others with prayer. We believe in love in action!
Prayer
We believe that prayer is vital to the spiritual health of a church. In Matthew 21:13, Jesus said, "My house will be called a house of
prayer ..." While preaching, Bible classes, and other ministries are
vital in church life, we recognize that without prayer, we can never fully accomplish God's perfect will. We invite you to become a part of our prayer ministry that is making a genuine difference for God's kingdom work!
Our Leadership.
Lake Havasu Church of the Nazarene is supported by a dedicated leadership.
