Freeport Community Church of the Nazarene
A grace-filled community — embracing, empowering, engaging.
A warm and welcoming environment intentional about fostering authentic community. Our interactions are characterized by grace — and our goal is to embrace persons of all faiths and persons of no faith, drawing them into communion with God and each other.
We are committed to the holistic empowerment of every member — equipping the saints for the work of ministry and the edifying of the body of Christ. The Bible is our foundation; we teach it in a way that is life-giving and transformative.
Intentional about ensuring everyone is fully engaged in living out our faith in meaningful ways that impact our communities — helping individuals find and fulfill their unique purpose. Freeport Community is a serving community.
