The Church of the Nazarene is a Protestant denomination within the broad traditional teachings of John Wesley. It was founded in 1908 from a merging of Pentecostal and holiness movement churches in Chicago, Illinois and central Texas.
History
The spiritual vision of early Nazarenes was derived from the doctrinal core of John Wesley's preaching and the holiness movement. The affirmations of the church include justification by grace through faith, sanctification by grace through faith, entire sanctification as an inheritance available to every Christian, and the witness of the Spirit to God's work in human lives. The holiness movement arose in the 1830s to promote these doctrines, especially entire sanctification, but had splintered by 1900.
The Church of the Nazarene was founded in 1895 in Los Angeles, California by Phineas Bresee. Bresee, himself, a former Methodist minister, sought to return to Wesley's original goals of preaching to reach the poor and needy in the population.
