About Us

The congregation at Waverly First Church of the Nazarene is a vibrant community of faith, encompassing people of all ages and backgrounds, as well as a variety of nationalities. We are a Bible believing and teaching Church. Our music is a lively mix of contemporary with some traditional.

Choosing a church home can be a difficult decision, to some it's about the people, to some it may be the sermons, to others it's about the facilities, to some others it may be about having ministries and services that meet the needs of everyone in the family.

Whatever your reasons, we here at First Church believe we have what it takes to minister to you and your entire family no matter what stage in life you may be. We are not the only church in our community and understand the body of Christ is made up of many different churches and many different denominations. However if you are looking for a church we invite you to stop in one Sunday morning or one Wednesday evening. Everyone is welcome because it is "a place for you."

WE BELIEVE…

We believe in one God who has expressed himself in personal ways. We know God’s personality as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe the Bible communicates God’s saving message and is our reliable authority in all matters related to faith and Christian living.

We believe that all humankind struggles with a downward pull.

We believe that unless we experience God’s help and salvation through a faith commitment to Jesus Christ, our future is one of eternal separation from God and all that is good.

We believe the love and grace of God is extended to every person in the provision Jesus Christ made in His death and resurrection. By turning from our own selfishness and trusting Jesus Christ, we experience a new life, being freed from the old patterns of self–destructive acts called sin.

We believe our new life in Jesus Christ is the gateway to transformation. Following our moment of faith in Jesus, we believe there is another moment in which we present our life completely to Christ in order to live under His authority and to experience his transforming power.

We believe that Christian experience is more than a change of mind. It is accompanied by assurance that is grounded in both the Scriptures as well as the inner witness of God’s Spirit.

We believe that all who live for Jesus Christ have an eternal future. Our belief in such a future includes both the fulfillment of God’s creative purpose as well as the accountability of all persons endowed with the power of choice.
