About Castleton Church of the Nazarene
-
We are a church that desires to see people come into a committed relationship with Jesus Christ.
We would like to invite you to join us for a Sunday morning service.
We are affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene and at the local level with the Indianapolis District Church of the Nazarene.
Beliefs:
The Triune God
Revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, He is holy love and light; eternally existent and infinite; Sovereign of the universe; holy in nature, attributes, and purpose; all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6). We believe that “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Holy Spirit
We believe that, subsequent to regeneration, believers are to be entirely sanctified through the work of the Holy Spirit. We further believe that in the work of entire sanctification the believer’s heart is cleansed from all sin and that the believer filled with the Holy Spirit is enabled to love God with the whole heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love others as oneself. We believe that growth in grace and the disciplines of holy living are a lifelong necessity for a life wholly sanctified to the will and purposes of God.
The Bible
We believe in the inspiration and authority of Scripture. We hold that the Word of God is the primary source of revelation for knowing God. We believe the Bible was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the authoritative source of truth for holy living.
The Church
We believe in the Church, the covenant people of God made new in Christ, as the visible expression of God’s presence and mission in our world.
