Serving Faith, Tradition & Community
OUR WORK

We walk in the footsteps of Prophet Isaiah Mdliwamafa Shembe, the founder of the Nazareth Baptist Church, carrying forward his life of devoted service, spiritual leadership, and community unity. Our work reflects faith in action — bringing spiritual guidance, cultural heritage, and collective upliftment to every follower. As we serve, we strive to uphold the teachings and traditions that have sustained our community for generations.

We lead and support weekly worship, prayer gatherings, and sacred rituals that strengthen faith and fellowship within our community.
Through acts of compassion, prayer for peace, and outreach, we encourage harmony and spiritual resilience in families and neighborhoods.
We organize and participate in sacred pilgrimages and ceremonies that honor the heritage and deep spiritual roots of the Nazareth Baptist Church.
Our work is to walk humbly with God, lead with prayer, and bring peace to every home we touch. In serving others, we reflect the spirit of unity and devotion that Prophet Shembe taught us.
