Jackson First Church of the Nazarene

I'm Phil Stout, lead pastor here at Jackson’s First Church of the Nazarene. Thanks for checking us out! At JaxNaz we’re on a journey. We’re trying to discover what it means to follow Jesus Christ, both individually and collectively. When Jesus called his first disciples he didn’t say, “accept me” or “figure me out.” He said, “follow me” – join me on the journey. And that's what we're trying to do! 

JaxNaz is comprised of all kinds of people at all stages of their spiritual journeys. Some of us have been on this road for a long time. Some of us are trying to discover our faith for the first time. And many of us fall between those two points. The one thing we all have in common is our search – our journey. So whether you’ve been a Christ follower for a long time or you’re just beginning to explore your God-concept, we invite you to join us on this journey. To help you on your way, visit my blog, daily meditations and more at www.philstout.org. And, again, thanks for stopping by!

MORE INFORMATION - The Church of the Nazarene will be celebrating its Centennial. The Centennial Celebration will take place across 24 time zones in every local church across the global family. The Centennial Sunday allows us to celebrate our Nazarene doctrine, core values, heritage, and mission.


MORE INFORMATION - Michigan is beginning a Bible Literacy program in public high schools. This program presents an academic, non-devotional study of the Bible. The new text has been adopted in 31 states and over 90 school districts already. The program helps students recognize the major stories and characters of the Bible used in our literature, history, public policy, art and music.
