We Believe in Christ-centered teaching and preaching. The foundation for our theology and our practice is God's Holy Word, the Bible.

We pursue the calling of the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19, which is where Jesus commands his disciples, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (NIV). We desire to make disciples through the ministries of teaching, preaching, and prayer.
 

The Colfax Church of the Nazarene was founded in 1913. We have been at our current location since 1963.

We desire to be a support network, sharing hope and healing that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Church of the Nazarene has 16 articles of faith which are summarized below:

• We believe in one God, the creator of all things. He makes Himself known to us as Father, Son, and Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 13:14) 
• We believe in Jesus Christ, who is both God and man. He became like us to show us what God is like and to teach us how we might have eternal life. (Matthew 1:20-25, 16:15-16; John 1:1-18) 
• We believe in the Holy Spirit and that He is active in the world today. (John 14:15-18, 16:7-15; Romans 8:1-27) 
• We believe the Bible is the Word of God and tells us all we need to know about how to have eternal life and how to live with integrity. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2Peter 1:20-21) 
• We believe that we are all sinners by both nature and act and need God's forgiveness and cleansing. (Genesis 3; Romans 3:23, 5:12-14, 6:15-23)
