Nazarene Mission International (NMI)

Nazarene Mission International (NMI)

 Nazarene Missions International (NMI) mobilizes the local church in missions within our community and around the world.  

We believe a well-organized group of believers can transform their local community. Our work is focused on facilitating opportunities, making connections, and developing relationships through the Church of the Nazarene.  

This drive led us to organize a trip to the Native American Christian Academy in the latter part of July 2025. Our team worked on several projects to prepare the campus for the beginning of school. 

Alabaster Offering

Alabaster Offering

Twice a year the Church of the Nazarene receives a very important offering called The Alabaster Offering. This offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. While we understand the church consists of the people of God and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots."

Use of Alabaster Funds

Alabaster funds are to be used for new churches to:
  • Purchase a property or church building
  • Purchase or build a church parsonage
  • Build a church building
  • Convert a property into a church gathering space
  • Meet initial costs to rent a church meeting space for a limited period
Alabaster funds may also be used to:
  • Purchase or build missionary homes
  • Purchase or build regional or field missions facilities
  • Build or repurpose buildings on Bible college campuses

We will receive this offering on September 7, 2025.
