About Us

Ambassadors is part of a global network of churches called the Church of the Nazarene.

OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION IS TO KNOW JESUS, AND REPRESENT HIM TO THE WORLD.

Gather.

We live our mission by gathering. Sunday mornings, small groups, and fellowship opportunities are a few practical ways that we walk this journey of knowing Christ, together.

Grow.

We live our mission by growing. The goal is to become mature, deeply-rooted followers of Christ. Worship, Biblical teaching, prayer, discipleship, and spiritual disciplines are some of the ways to foster lifelong spiritual growth.

Go.

We live our mission by going. Our faith is to be expressed everywhere, daily. Witnessing, serving, giving, leading, and loving are some of the ways we can GO and represent Jesus in our world today.

OUR BELIEFS

GOD
We believe in one God who eternally exists as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

THE BIBLE
We believe the Old and New Testaments are completely inspired by God and provide all the truth needed for faith and Christian living.

SIN
We believe all people are born with a sinful nature and are naturally inclined to sin. Without repentance before death, people remain lost forever.

SALVATION
We believe Jesus Christ’s sacrifice is for everyone. Anyone who repents and believes in Jesus is forgiven, renewed, and freed from sin’s control.

HOLINESS
We believe that believers should be fully dedicated to God through faith in Jesus Christ.

SANCTIFICATION
We believe the Holy Spirit confirms both the new birth and the entire sanctification of believers.

END TIMES
We believe Jesus will return, the dead will be resurrected, and there will be a final judgment.

OUR VALUES

Every gathering, every service, every event and everything we do will always be about Jesus.

The Bible is God’s Word, and it is the final authority on every matter of faith and living.

We strive for the next level in every area of our lives and ministry.

Everyone is loved and created in the image of God.

All that we are and all that we do is an act of worship.

We exist to bring the kingdom of God to the earth – here and now.
