What is a Nazarene missionary?
A Christ-like disciple set apart by the Holy Spirit, prayerfully sent out by the church, affirmed by Nazarene Missions to cross cultural barriers for the purpose of spreading scriptural holiness.
Our Purpose
To pioneer, develop, and resource local, interdependent, and sustainable Nazarene churches around the world.
Our Method
Nazarene missions centers around compassion, evangelism, and education. We flourish through the mutual cooperation of cross-cultural missionaries and thousands of local ministers and lay workers who have contextualized Wesleyan-Holiness principles within their respective cultures.
