Who We Are

Nicene Network

The Nicene Network, headquartered in Washington, DC, operates virtually to serve churches across the United States. We are an association and community of independent, nondenominational churches and church plants that fully believe in and affirm the historic Nicene Creed.

At the heart of Nicene Network is a shared commitment to the Nicene Creed—the historic confession of Christian faith affirmed by the global church for over 1,700 years.

By affirming the Nicene Creed, our churches stand within the historic lineage of the church, connected to centuries of faithful witness and committed to preserving the integrity of the gospel for future generations.

As more churches leave denominations or launch independently, many face isolation and lack the support needed to thrive.

Without structure and resources, leaders are pulled away from their mission.

Nicene Network exists to help independent churches launch and stay rooted, supported, and focused on what matters most.

We provide the tools, relationships, and theological grounding churches need to grow healthy, discipling, and reproducing communities.

We exist to:

  • Provide resources and services often found in established Christian affiliations

  • Help church leaders focus on their people and mission to grow healthy, discipling, and reproducing congregations

  • Foster a collaborative and healthy culture among church leaders
