MISSIONOur mission here at Wooster Nazarene is quite simple…LOVING GOD, LOVING PEOPLE, LIVING TRANSFORMEDAnd the best part about this vision is that it is a continual process! As we LOVE GOD, we learn to LOVE PEOPLE, and as we do both these things we start to LIVE TRANSFORMED! And as we are being transformed, it just causes us to love God more, which helps us love people more…well, you're getting the picture! STRATEGYOur strategy is the way we go about loving God, loving people, and living transformed. We try to keep things simple around here, and it's no different with our strategy.

As we GATHER together corporately, that allows for deeper connection and a stronger LINK between people as we come together in Naz groups and Pods, serve together in ministry, and just do life together. When we GATHER and LINK in these ways, it helps encourage us to THRIVE, which happens as we not only GATHER and LINK, but put spiritual disciplines into place in our lives individually as well. VALUESUnderlying our strategy and everything we do are the values that we hold to be so true here at Wooster Nazarene. These values should underlay, or be present, in everything that we do.

Now, success in the eyes of the Lord may not look like what typically gets defined as success in the world. What we believe to be some important measures of someone who is LIVING TRANSFORMED and THRIVING in their walk with Jesus are:GATHERING GROWING
