Who are the Nazarenes?

Leavenworth Church of the Nazarene is a part of the Nazarene denomination. The Nazarene denomination is a holiness denomination with Methodist roots that has existed for over 100 years. To find out more about Nazarenes visit the official Nazarene website.

Why be a part of a denomination?

A denomination provides two major benefits. First, it provides accountability in several places such as finances, leadership, morality, theology, etc. Second, it enhances a local churches ability, whether big or small to accomplish larger goals.  LCN is able to support more ministries through the Nazarene denomination (i.e. church planting, missionaries, disaster relief, education, etc.) By pooling our resources and collaborating with other Nazarene churches, LCN is also able to provide quality ministry events for specific age groups.  For example, our youth camps minister to hundreds of kids with incredible programming and staff due to its size.

While LCN values its relationship with other Nazarene churches,, it places a high value on unity in the body of Christ.  We enjoy worshiping and serving cooperatively with many other local churches in our community.
