New Brighton Church of the Nazarene has been serving the people of New Brighton for more than 100 years. Our building is located at the corner of Penn and 5th St., but NewBNaz is alive and well throughout Beaver County and beyond. We are a collection of people from all walks of life who have joined together with a common passion and purpose: to live out the hope of Jesus Christ in our neighborhoods and communities.
As followers of Jesus Christ, the people of New Brighton Church of the Nazarene are absolutely convinced there are no “lost causes”. This reality is based on some wonderful Good News.
The story of God’s relationship with his creation (The Bible) convinces us of these things:
- There is a loving Creator/God who has made us all in his own image. That’s right, we are all created in God’s image! But, by seeking our own way, apart from God’s design, we have made a mess of ourselves and the rest of God’s creation.
- From the beginning God has continued to love us in spite of ourselves, so much so, that he gave his only son (Jesus) to restore us and his creation. Jesus died a sacrificial death to, once and for all, deal with our rebellious attitudes and actions. He offers forgiveness and grace to all
- We also believe that Jesus rose from the dead. In doing that, he conquered death and gave us a promise that we too could live… really live, both now and forever!
- We can be transformed by God’s Spirit- to live a life restored to his original intent and purpose! Yes, that’s right, we are convinced we can live free from the bondage of sin and death!
- Finally, we are called by God, to be his loving and transforming agents in the world. We are to spread the Good News of God’s love and Jesus’ work of restoration.
