Unconditional Positive Regard

Growing Together

Since we live in our own heads, we tend to give ourselves the benefit of the doubt. But we judge others harshly in part because we can’t see what burdens they carry. Healthy relationships are characterized by Unconditional Positive Regard, or giving others the benefit of the doubt. This is a grace we can only give when we first receive it from God. So how do we do that?

From Series: "Growing Together"

We were created to be in relationship with each other. But we find deep, authentic relationships with others to be a real challenge. In this series, we'll explore how the keys to healthy relationships are grounded in faith.

This year, Beavercreek Church of the Nazarene turns 60 years old. Over the last 60 years, we’ve made Jesus famous in our community by Bridging Church to Neighborhood. As Jesus has for us, we’ve gone into our neighborhoods, taking Jesus’ love with us and showing our community in tangible, practical ways that Jesus loves them.

Now it’s time to take the Next Right Step. What will Beavercreek Nazarene look like in the next 60 years? What kind of church will we become? For the month of September, we explore our new vision, imagining together how it will shape our announcement of the Jesus’ Good News in Beavercreek, Ohio. We want to become the Church that connects and engages the unchurched in our neighborhoods.
What does that look like? Join us as we dream together!
