ABOUT US

Our Heritage

Started in 1959, Eastborough Church of the Nazarene began as a home mission with just ten charter members. Five years later, after a few changes in name and location, we decided to move to a desolate and windy hill on east Pikes Peak Avenue, where there were just four other houses in the entire area. With a brand new building and a vision of the future, we began to grow and reach out to the community, and as the neighborhood grew, so did our church.

In 1972, another new building, our current facility, was dedicated and put into use - and used, it is! Almost every night of the week you can find Eastborough's friends and neighbors gathered to celebrate what God has done. The Lord has been faithful to us as we have been faithful to Him, and we praise Him for it.

God has placed us in the heart of the community that surrounds us, and it is our desire to be a church for our community. From just four houses 'til now, God has given us a wonderful mission in reaching our community, preparing our Bible College students, maturing believers, and worshiping God. Through it all, our desire is to be pleasing Him in all that we do.

Our Beliefs

We believe there is only one God, who created all and has always been. He reveals Himself to us through three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Supporting scripture: (Genesis 1; Leviticus 19:2; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Isaiah 5:16, 6:1-7, 40:18-31; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19-20; John 14:6-27; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Galatians 4:4-6; Ephesians 2:13-18.)

We believe in Jesus Christ, that He was one with the Father. We believe He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and was born of a virgin. We believe He died for our sins and rose from the grave and ascended into heaven.
Supporting scripture: (Matthew 1:20-25; 16:15-16; Luke 1:26-35; John 1:1-18; Acts 2:22-36; Romans 8:3, 32-34; Galatians 4:4-5; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:12-22; 1 Timothy 6:14-16; Hebrews 1:1-5; 7:22-28; 9:24-28; 1 John 1:1-3; 4:2-3, 15)

We believe the Holy Spirit is ever present, convicting the world of sin, empowering those who repent, and sanctifying believers.
Supporting scripture: (John 7:39; 14:15-18, 26; 16:7-15; Acts 2:33; 15:8-9; Romans 8:1-27; Galatians 3:1-14; 4:6; Ephesians 3:14-21; 1 Thessalonians 4:7-8; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 John 3:24; 4:13)

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
Supporting scripture: (Luke 24:44-47; John 10:35; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:10-12; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

We believe that because of sin, mankind that God created to be pure and holy has fallen, but can be restored to a pure and holy nature.
Supporting scripture: (Matthew 22:36-40 {with 1 John 3:4}; John 8:34-36; 16:8-9; Romans 3:23; 6:15-23; 8:18-24; 14:23; 1 John 1:9-2:4; 3:7-10)

We believe that people cannot save themselves by good works but that salvation is only found by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Supporting scripture: (Isaiah 53:5-6, 11; Mark 10:45; Luke 24:46-48; John 1:29; 3:14-17; Acts 4:10-12; Romans 3:21-26; 4:17-25; 5:6-21; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 2 Corinthians 5:14-21; Galatians 1:3-4; 3:13-14; Colossians 1:19-23; 1 Timothy 2:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 2:9; 9:11-14; 13:12; 1 Peter 1:18-21; 2:19-25; 1 John 2:1-2)

We believe that after salvation, God has called us to a holy lifestyle that was modeled for us by His Son, Jesus Christ.
Supporting scripture: (Matthew 5:1-7:29; John 15:1-11; Romans 12:1-15:3; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Ephesians 4:17-5:20; Philippians 1:9-11; 3:12-15; Colossians 2:20-3:17; 1 Thessalonians 3:13; 4:7-8; 5:23; 2 Timothy 2:19-22; Hebrews 10:19-25; 12:14; 13:20-21; 1 Peter 1:15-16; 2 Peter 1:1-11; 3:18; Jude 20-21)

We believe that Jesus will come again to gather the believers, and on the final day we will all stand before God for judgment.
Supporting scripture: (Matthew 25:31-46; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 9:26-28; 2 Peter 3:3-15; Revelation 1:7-8; 22:7-20)
