ABOUT US

Together we are a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers. 

 

We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Most churches find it is comfortable to stay within the walls, but we make it an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our community changed.

 

We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

OUR HISTORY

A Holiness Church

Chicago Heights Church of the Nazarene has a rich history, being organized and established since 1913 and still working in the community today. As a strong holiness church, Chicago Heights has gone through many changes but never changing the essential message of the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ, while still recognizing that sin separates us from God. Today we fight through the cultural noise to bring the true message of Gods love.
