Our Mission

It has been said: "Socrates was considered wise, not because he knew all the right answers but because he knew how to ask the right question." Maybe your question is: What is the purpose of your church?

Our mission is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, as He is the hope for all mankind. Also when we look at the ministry of Christ, Jesus was concerned about all the needs of humanity. We at the church of the Nazarene here in Cramlington, in the British Isles and around the world seek to continue to minister to the needs to those around us. Bring hope to the hurting, and reach out to those in need. Part of our vision is to build a ministry centre where we will be able to show our community that God loves and cares for them, through practical ways, regardless of their circumstances.

This is why we run five toddler sessions each week, a weekly kid's club and youth group. We want our church to be a safe place were everyone will feel loved and accepted. We have a saying in the Church of the Nazarene: "You are only a visitor once, after that you are a part of the family."

Why do we do this? For the glory of God. When people's lives are touched and transformed God receives the glory. "Welcome to the Church of the Nazarene our church can be your home."

Calcutta youth reach out with cricket Calcutta,

Youth in a Calcutta, India, church held their first “Cricket for Love” tournament on January 26 where 72 people, most of whom do not attend the church, formed eight teams representing world cricket clubs for a “last shall be first” match.

Everyone played to win in the traditional sense, but the team who lost the most was the one who claimed the championship. Incidentally, this honor went to the Australia team.

“We did it because it’s different,” said Amitava Chatterjee, a local youth leader. “Everyone wants to play for winning. But we did it to lose.”

The event ran from 8:30 A.M to 9:30 P.M. Final matches were played by floodlight as the sun set and the games continued.

Chatterjee hopes to develop a Nazarene cricket tournament in the future, to gather teams from several neighboring countries. “Sports is a main, catchy thing in South Asia,” he said
