Our Belief.

  • Worship

    Most people think of "worship" in terms of music. And they are not wrong. But worship is not limited to a certain time or place. True worship is reflected in the lifestyle and choices we make as Christians.

    Mark 12:30 says, "Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

    Worship is every moment of every day.

  • Connect

    The best way to really know and understand what we believe at Carthage Nazarene is being involved in one of our connect groups. Love cannot exist outside of action - which at CarthageNaz is best shown through our groups. We would love for you to join a group in your community and begin connecting with others with the same heart and mission.

  • Serve

    Fulfilling the Great Commission will make a unique mark on our community and our world. By serving others, we show the love of Christ and receive the love of God in return. This unique mark of serving flows out of worship and connecting with others.

    We believe in One God, the Creator of all things, who reveals himself as Father, Son and Spirit.
