What is the Church of the Nazarene?
The Church of the Nazarene is a
Protestant Christian church in the Wesleyan tradition, tracing its
roots to an anniversary date of 1908. It was founded to spread the
message of Christlike living across the land. Today, the Church
of the Nazarene is located in 151 world areas. The
Church of the Nazarene is a Great Commission church. We believe
that God offers everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love,
meaning in life, and the promise of heaven when life is over by
entering and experiencing a relationship with God through Jesus
Christ. We are called to take this message to people everywhere.
Apopka Calvary Church of the Nazarene was established
in 1974. Jim Page has been Lead Pastor since May, 1981.
