Global Missions

Our approach to Global Missions

Along with supporting local and national mission work, our church also serves globally as part of Nazarene Missions International (NMI). NMI is the local church-based worldwide mobilization and promotional arm of missions for the Church of the Nazarene. The purpose of NMI is to mobilize the church in missions through the four areas of: praying, educating, giving, and disciplining.
