Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
As a global community of faith, we are commissioned to take the Good News of life in Jesus Christ to people everywhere and to spread the message of scriptural holiness across the lands. Grounded in the Wesleyan tradition, Nazarenes understand themselves to be a people who are Christian, holiness, and missional, and they have embraced the mission statement: “To make Christlike disciples in the nations.”
Organized in 1908, the denomination is now home to about 2.5 million members worshipping in more than 30,000 congregations in 164 world areas.

What is LINKS?
The Links program of the Church of the Nazarene is a network of personal connections between missionaries and Nazarenes around the world. Missionaries are assigned to districts and, then on the district level, connected to local churches. Each church's mission is to to become personally acquainted with the missionary family and their field of service.
Nazarene Compassionate Ministry
Women and Girls Suppot Project
When women are empowered to earn their own income, they uplift themselves, their families, and communities. While gender disparities persist around the world, when they are reduced, girls receive fuller access to schooling and the chance to dream bigger dreams for their future.
Local Nazarene churches are leading the efforts against gender-based poverty by giving women and girls the tools to learn, start small businesses, and earn a wage that helps support their families. Each project is designed to send the message that women are equally valued and made in God’s image.
