OUR STORY
Our church, once known as M3D Church, formally known as Miracles and Blessings of God International Ministries. Whom birthed this new vision and is now revealing its new vision and embracing its new name: Nazareth Church.
In the Bible, in the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 46, we find a powerful and enlightening passage that resonates deeply with our church's renewed direction. The verse says, "Come and see," said Philip. "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" In this verse, we witness the skepticism of Nathanael as he questions the origins of Jesus, who hailed from the small and seemingly insignificant town of Nazareth.
Just like the people in this biblical account, we all encounter moments of uncertainty and doubts. We question whether greatness and profound transformations can arise from humble beginnings. Our church has undergone its own transformation, and as we unveil our new name, we answer that lingering question with a resounding "Yes!"
Nazareth Church represents a profound shift in our collective identity, drawing inspiration from the hometown of Jesus himself. In choosing this name, we seek to embody the transformative power of faith, the strength found in unity, and the potential for miracles that reside within the seemingly ordinary.
With our new vision, Nazareth Church sets forth on a path of encompassing love, compassion, and healing within our congregation and the wider community. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and accepted, regardless of their past, their struggles, or the doubts they may carry.
In this new chapter of our church's journey, we commit ourselves to fostering a supportive and nurturing community, one that serves as a beacon of light, radiating hope and guiding those who are seeking solace or a spiritual home. Nazareth Church will be a place where individuals can come as they are, comfortably embracing their unique stories, backgrounds, and life experiences.
Just as Jesus' birth in Nazareth brought forth salvation, redemption, and a message of boundless grace, we endeavor to emulate his teachings and embrace his love. Our church is called to be an inclusive space, where people find not only a sanctuary but also a loving family that supports them through life's joys and challenges.
Today, we joyfully embark on this new path together as Nazareth Church, cementing our commitment to God's work, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the transformational power of faith. Let us remember that great things can indeed come from Nazareth, and similarly, incredible blessings can emerge from within our humble church community.
As we step forward united under our new name, let us follow the example set by Jesus, embracing the marginalized, extending a helping hand, and spreading the message of hope and love to all we encounter. Together, let us create a haven where people find solace, hope finds a dwelling place, and lives are touched, transformed, and renewed.
May the spirit of Nazareth Church guide us in the days and years ahead, so that we may continue to be a beacon of God's love in our community and beyond. Thank you, and may God bless us all.
