And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 1:9-11

Welcome to Gardendale Church of the Nazarene.  We are located in just north of Birmingham, Alabama.  We are a church with a simple mission:

“To Live Completely for Christ”

 
We desire to live out this mission in the following ways:

  • By intentionally sharing the Good News of Christ with others.
        Do I make time for relationships with unchurched people?
        Am I looking for ways to bring God into my conversations?
        Who does God desire to reach through me?

  • By celebrating God's presence in personal and corporate worship.
        Am I spending "one-on-one" time with God?
        Do I have a small group that I pray with on a regular basis?
        Is there joy and gratitude as I gather to worship with God's people?

  • By learning, experiencing, and teaching the biblical call to holiness.
        Am I moving forward in my walk with Christ?
        Do I make time to study God's Word and apply it to my life?
        Is there someone God would have me to teach or mentor?

  • By praying for God to demonstrate His power and faithfulness.
        Am I relying on the power of God, or my own strength?
        Do I pray every day?
        Do I expect God-sized answers to prayer?

It is my hope that you, too, are excited about how God might use you to do His work.  It is our prayer as a church that you find a church community that you can journey with as you follow Christ.  Together, let's worship our Lord, make Him evident in our lives, and prepare for what He has in store.

Gardendale Church of the Nazarene is a part of the International Church of the Nazarene and as such shares its destiny to promote Christian Holiness as: a doctrine to believe, an experience to receive, and a process of life long growth. 

We strongly believe this to be a complete expression of the Great Commission and the very essence of discipleship.
