Our Mission
CONNECT
As the Church (the body of Christ)
one main role is to connect with one another, lifting one another up and encouraging each other.
​
1 Thessalonians. 5:11
GROW
Growth takes many forms, whether growing closer to one another, growing as a human being, or growing in our relationship with Christ.
​
Colossians 1:10
LIVE
This is simply the idea that Christ should be changing our lives every single day. We are to take up our crosses daily to follow Jesus, living lives of self-sacrifice and radical love, that others might find Jesus.
Luke 9:23
​
Our Beliefs
We are a Great Commission church. As a global community of faith, we are
commissioned to TAKE THE GOOD NEWS OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST to people
everywhere and to spread the message of scriptural holiness across lands.

WE BELIEVE in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
​
-
WE BELIEVE that human beings are born with a fallen nature, and are, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.

WE BELIEVE that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
​

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.

WE BELIEVE that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living

WE BELIEVE that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.

Our History
It all started in a tent...
​
The Winfield church began in a tent revival September 4, 1983. From there, in a storefront setting on Main Street in Winfield, WV a church was planted. It was officially organized June 3, 1984 with 16 charter members. The church moved to the current location at 10822 Winfield Road in 1985. After expanding our facilities to better serve the community in 2003, we currently serve Putnam County in a beautiful setting on the banks of the Kanawha River.
​
The church is a part of the Nazarene West Virginia South District which includes 52 Nazarene churches from Charleston to the southern parts of the state. We participate in several activities with other churches throughout the year through our youth, children's and mission programs.
