WWJWD: WHAT WOULD JOHN WESLEY DO? The Church of the Nazarene draws its theological lineage from the Methodist tradition started by John Wesley in the 18th century. Wesley lived during a time of radical change in England and almost singlehandedly brought about a revival that changed the direction of Christianity and profoundly shaped how churches live out the faith today. For four Wednesday nights, starting August 12 at 7:00 pm in Lee Chapel, Pastor's Summer Series will celebrate the influence of John Wesley and deal with three questions: Who is John Wesley? How did his life change the church and start a revival? And if Wesley were alive today, what would he want the ministry of his theological ancestors to look like?

We’ve got it cookin’ for you! Fairly new around the PazNaz campus? There is a luncheon in your honor on Sunday, August 16, following the 10:30 am service. You will enjoy a delicious lunch, get acquainted with the pastoral staff, and meet other new friends around the table. You will also get a great overview of the different ministries available at PazNaz and a gift bag to say “Thanks for being here!”
