A Place to Heal. . . A Place to Grow
all means available to reach all people possible, leading
them into a passionate, transforming, and ongoing
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our Vision:
Reaching Up. . Through Worship and Prayer
Reaching In. . . Through Discipleship and Relationships
Reaching Out. . . Through Ministry and Mission
In order to effectively carry out our mission, we will seek to
become a faith community that is guided by these values
and practices:
Worship
God is worthy of worship, and we will offer it to Him with open hearts and genuine spirits. Recognizing that worship is both a corporate and personal act, we will provide opportunities for worship that reflect a variety of styles and elements, allowing as many as possible to find their place and express their heart.
Prayer
Realizing that we cannot accomplish our mission in human strength, we will make every effort to keep prayer at the heart of who we are and all that we do.
Discipleship
The Christian life is one of ongoing transformation into the image of Christ. To assist believers in their journey, we will endeavor to faithfully teach God's Word to all ages, provide instruction in the practice of the spiritual disciplines, bring understanding of Christian beliefs and doctrine, and establish relationships of Christian accountability.
Relationships
We believe that being united to Christ also means being united to His Body, the Church. Therefore, we will work to create a true community of faith where people are connected to one another in personal relationships for the sake of fellowship and spiritual nurture.
Ministry
All believers are called to serve, and God has gifted each one accordingly. We will seek to help believers identify their gifts and provide them with the necessary training and support, enabling them to effectively serve a role in the continuing ministry of the church.
Mission
We will intentionally work to win people to Christ and set them on the path of discipleship. Identifying opportunities for outreach, we will sacrificially give of ourselves and our resources in order to build God's Kingdom both locally and globally.
Vision in Action
Purposefully and Intentionally, we will also seek to become externally focused, while maintaining an internal emphasis on identifying and developing the gifts and passions that God has given those within the body of Chambersburg Church of the Nazarene. When combined, we will be better equipped to Reach Out to the community in which God has placed us.
