Hermiston Church of the Nazarene


We Believe...


In one God, The Creator of all things, who reveals himself as Father, Son, and Spirit.

In Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man at the same time, who became like us to bring salvation.

In the Holy Spirit, who is active in the world, bringing us to salvation.

That we are all sinners by both nature and act and need God's forgiveness and cleansing.

The Bible is the Word of God, giving us all we need to know about how to be saved.

That Jesus Christ died on the cross and that, by trusting in His death, we can be restored to a right relation to God and that He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us.

That God has enabled us to turn to Him from sin, but that He has not forced us to do so.

That each person must repent, turn away from his sins, and trust Christ to accept Him.

That when we turn from sin and trust in Christ, the old record of sin is wiped clean, and we are born anew, thus becoming part of the family of God.

That after being born anew, we need the fullness of God's Spirit in our hearts.  When we make a complete commitment to Him, He cleanses our spirit, fills us with His perfect love, and gives us the power to live victoriously.

That Jesus Christ is coming again.

That everyone shall face the judgment of God with its rewards and punishments.

In baptism and urge people to be baptized as Christians.

In the Lord's Supper.

God can heal.  We pray for healing.  We also believe that God can work through medical science.
