About Us
Welcome to Shipshewana Church of the Nazarene!
Thank you for taking the time to visit our webpage. Maybe you are reading this because you visited one of our worship services. Maybe someone invited you to worship with us and you want to have more information about our church. Maybe you are looking for a church to call “home.” Whatever the reason, we hope you find this information helpful. We would be honored to have you come and visit us.
Our People
We understand that people look at many different issues when looking for a church home. One important thing people look for is a friendly, safe and caring atmosphere. If you are looking for a church where you can feel like part of a family, we encourage you to come and visit us.
Our Mission
Our mission here is pretty simple. In addition to providing a friendly, safe and caring atmosphere, we also strive to provide a worship experience that is meaningful and relevant. Worship includes many things: music, prayer, giving, praise and sharing the gospel. We make it our goal to love God, love others, live a life that honors Christ, and help others to do the same. We would love to help you either begin or continue to develop your relationship with Jesus.
We are a Bible-believing church
We believe and teach that the Bible is the inspired word of God. It reveals all the truth needed for living a holy life.
We believe that “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17) The Bible is our instruction manual for life.
We are a Christ-centered church
We believe and teach that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Trusting in him as our personal Savior is the only way we can have eternal life. (John 14:6)
We are a Spirit-empowered church
The Holy Spirit is the power source for everything we do. We desire to be a church that lives what Acts 1:8 promises we can experience. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
We are a family-friendly church
We believe one of the most important things a family can do together is worship. We love having family members of all ages together in our worship service. We do have a nursery available. It is located in the main lobby area of the church.
