Make this the year you choose to commit yourself to the God that loves you.  Join us at the Chelsea Church of the Nazarene in entering a lasting covenant with God.  The following statement & prayer is from the writings of John Wesley,circa 1780, and is serving as an outline for the promise we are making to our Lord and Savior.  If you choose to join us in making this commitment let us know through the contact form.  Your life will never be the same.

(Pastor)  Commit yourselves to Christ as his servants. Give yourselves to him,

that you may belong to him. Christ has many services to be done.

Some are more easy and honorable, others are more difficult and disgraceful.

Some are suitable to our inclinations and interests, others are contrary to both. 

In some we may please Christ and please ourselves.

But then there are other works where we cannot please Christ except by denying ourselves. 

It is necessary, therefore, that we consider what it means to be a servant of Christ.

Let us, therefore, go to Christ, and pray:

 

(All)

Let me be your servant, under your command. I will no longer be my own.

I will give up myself to your will in all things.

 Lord, make me what you will. I put myself fully into your hands:

 put me to doing, put me to suffering,

let me be employed for you, or laid aside for you,

 let me be full, let me be empty,

let me have all things, let me have nothing.

 I freely and with a willing heart

give it all to your pleasure and disposal.

 I do here covenant with you, O Christ,

to take my lot with you as it may fall.

 Through your grace I promise

that neither life nor death shall part me from you.

 I make this covenant with you, O God,

without guile or reservation.

 If any falsehood should be in it, guide me

and help me to set it aright.

 Mighty God,

let this covenant I have made on earth

be ratified in heaven

 In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Our Mission

The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant Christian church in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, tracing its roots to an anniversary date of 1908. It was founded to spread the message of scriptural holiness (Christlike living) across the lands. 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 to everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love, meaning in life, and the promise of heaven when life is over by entering and experiencing a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are called to take this message to people everywhere.

The Church of the Nazarene is also a holiness church. We believe that Christians can experience a deeper level of life in which there is victory over sin, power to witness and serve, and a richer fellowship with God, all through the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
