Mission: Christ-like Disciples

WHY WE EXIST

OUR MISSION

"We Exist to Make Christ-like Disciples Who Transform Their World."

That's not just a tagline — it's the reason we show up every Sunday. We believe ordinary people, shaped by Jesus, can change their families, their neighborhoods, and their city. That starts right here in Junction City.
JCNaz is a Church of the Nazarene. If that means nothing to you, here's the short version: we're a Christian church that believes in the Bible, takes community seriously, and thinks grace is for everyone — not just the people who have it all together.

OUR COMMUNITY

BUILT FOR FT. RILEY & JUNCTION CITY

Junction City is a unique place — shaped by the constant movement of military life, the roots of rural Kansas, and a growing professional community. We understand that world. Many of our families have served, deployed, and moved more times than they can count. 
JCNaz is a place where you can land, belong quickly, and build real friendships — even if you know you might only be here for two years.
We've made that our specialty.

CORE VALUES

WHO WE ARE

WE LOVE GOD

Developing closeness with God, building character, and discovering your calling — in that order. 

WE LOVE PEOPLE

Being servants, team players, and real — no performance required. Come as you are.

WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE

We do things well, before we're asked, and more than is expected. Mediocrity isn't our style. 

WE CHOOSE JOY

Positive, loyal, and enjoyable to be around. We're blessed to be a blessing — and we act like it. 

WHAT WE BELIEVE

THE SHORT VERSION

We're a Christian church. Here's what that means to us in plain terms — no seminary degree required to follow along

The Bible

We believe the Bible is God's word — trustworthy, relevant, and life-changing. We teach from it every Sunday in a way that connects to real life.

Jesus

We believe Jesus is who he said he was — fully God, fully human — and that his death and resurrection make a new life possible for anyone who wants it.

Grace

You don't have to clean yourself up before you come. God's grace meets you exactly where you are. That's not just theology — it's how we actually treat people. 

Community

We believe faith is better lived together. Small groups, service, and real relationships aren't optional extras — they're central to what we do. 

Marriage & Gender Identity

We believe marriage is the covenantal union of one man and one woman, and that male and female are God-given gifts — not cultural constructs. 

Church Of The Nazarene

We're part of a global denomination with deep roots in Wesleyan theology. The short version: we believe in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in everyday life.
