You Matter to God & You Matter to Us
We believe that God has brought you to our site for a reason. May we encourage you to take an active part in our church family whether it is getting physically plugged into this portion of the body of Christ or through our extended ministries. The more you participate and the more friendships you experience @ Rogers First, the more meaningful your walk with Jesus will be.

Again, we want you to know how important you are to God and to us. We hope Rogers First will always be a place that feels like home to you - a place where you can grow in your faith in God and find deep, lasting friendships.

Alan E. Johnson
Senior Pastor
What Is A Nazarene?
spacer The Church of the Nazarene gets its name from Jesus of Nazareth. Because we're a smaller and less familiar denomination, you might be asking, "What is a Nazarene?"
spacer Every church has its distinctives – practices, beliefs, or organizational structures that set it apart from other groups. Sometimes this is confusing. You might ask, "If the Bible is true and Jesus was who He said He was, why are there so many different churches with so many different beliefs?"
spacer The bottom line is that, with all the differences, Christian congregations agree on 95% of their beliefs and practices. It's the other 5% that falls into the category of "distinctive".
spacer The Church of the Nazarene takes its place with our brothers and sisters who confess Jesus as Lord.
  • Like Baptists, we believe in calling people to repentance and to witnessing to their new life in Christ through public baptism.
  • Like Presbyterians, we believe in the power of preaching God's Word to bring about change in people's lives.
  • Like Lutherans, we believe salvation to be a gift of God's grace secured by faith in Jesus' death on the Cross.
  • Like Charismatics, we believe in the personal work of the Holy Spirit who gives us the power to live a victorious, Christ-like life and make a difference in the world; although we do not "speak in tongues" in our services.
  • Like Episcopalians, we take worship seriously, yet we do choose to be a little less "formal" in the way we worship.
  • Like Quakers and Moravians, we believe in living a careful life that testifies to a watching world that we belong to God.
  • Like Christian Missionary Alliance, we believe God calls us to communicate the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people next door, in our communities, and around the world.
  • Like United Methodists, we have our roots in the tradition of John Wesley and believe in the power of the small group to foster positive life change.
@ Rogers First
  • We are a warm and friendly group of people who view the Bible as the inspired Word of God and the authoritative source of guidance and direction for our lives.
  • We are life-centered in our teaching and sensitive to the needs and concerns of others.
  • We give people opportunities to put their faith into action through various avenues of service.
  • We laugh and cry together, rejoice and grieve together, grow and walk in faith together.
  • We aim to be a family of faith for all who love Jesus, the Nazarene.
You've been thinking about it, why not plan to join us this Sunday? We would love to meet you!
