Local Missions - God's Work. Our Hands.

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:34-35 (NIV)

The most powerful argument for the truth of the gospel is not the sophistication of our theological statements; it’s not the historical evidence that we can produce for the fact of the resurrection. The most powerful argument for the truth of the gospel is not our good works, or even our changed lives. The most powerful argument for the truth of the gospel is our love for one another. That is what Jesus said would distinguish us, among all the people on the earth, as His disciples.

For this reason, we believe that every Christ-follower is created to be an extension of God's presence in the world.  We are God's hands, feet and voice to our neighbors in need.  And that's why the people of Nazareth are passionate about "rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty for the cause of Christ," in response to God's amazing grace in our own lives.  We invite you to prayerfully serve God and others in the areas of your passion and giftedness, both at Nazareth and in the Cedar Valley.
