A Movement of God Through God's People
From the very beginning, the Church of the Nazarene has prayerfully sent her people into the world with Christ’s transformational love.
Today, we are a global missions movement working throughout the world. We believe God is actively redeeming His creation and has called us to partner with Him.
Nazarene Missions is a movement of God through the people of God.
Child Sponsorship
Our child sponsorship program is based on a Holistic Child Development model that seeks to simultaneously address key aspects of a child’s life—spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and relational—through learning opportunities and developmental interventions. Through this model, children are encouraged to grow into the people God created them to be.
NCM’s Holistic Child Development model also recognizes the impact of family and community in a child’s life, knowing that the best child development happens when children grow up in the context of a loving, healthy, empowered family.
We work alongside families and communities to help children develop their God-given potential.
