From the beginning… Central to the Church of the Nazarene Mission
Nazarene Higher Education “We believe in all branches of knowledge. God helping us, we propose to teach men and women that they may be at their best advantage for God.” P.F. Bresee Nazarene Clergy Development “More and better preachers… there is a demand for quantity… but with the quantity there must be a stepping up of the quality or we shall yet become a cult, rather than a rounded brand of the Church Universal.” J.B. Chapman
The late Dr. John A. Knight often stated,
“Holiness, missions, and education are the hallmarks of who we are.”
“Santidad, misiones y educacion son las caracteristicas mas importantes de quienes
somos.” "Santidade, missões e educação são
as principais características de quem nós somos".
"La sainteté, la mission et l'éducation sontles caractéristiques de notre identité."
" 성결과 선교 , 그리고 교육은 우리의 정체성의 표시입니다 ."
