From the beginning, generous Nazarenes have financially supported the movement of God by practicing storehouse tithing. The faithful tithes and offerings of God’s people enable each local congregation to accomplish God’s calling for their community.

 

Starting in 1929, the legislative General Assembly voted to share the responsibility for the denominational mission. Each local Nazarene congregation supports the overall mission of the church as defined by the General Assembly and implemented through the leadership of the Board of General Superintendents in world evangelism, education, ministerial support, and district ministries (Manual 32.5).

 

As a result, a portion of each person’s tithe is shared for World Evangelism with six global regions. This denominational fund (WEF) is the foundation for discovering, delivering, and resourcing our missions organization around the world. Because of the generous gifts for World Evangelism, the Church of the Nazarene is able to develop and sustain worldwide communication, technology support, and new mission programs.

 

Every Nazarene congregation is invited to participate in Nazarene Missions through its giving to World Evangelism. Download or order this free brochure about “How We Fund Missions.”

Congregations are honored annually when their World Evangelism giving goals are achieved. The Funding the Mission software provides an easy online giving platform for churches to give and track their unique goals.

 

Mission Specials: Congregations frequently give to additional projects like missionary deputations, Alabaster, World Mission Broadcast, JESUS Film, Nazarene Youth International, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, education, and many other approved projects in the regions. Over $500 million dollars (that is half a BILLON) have been given for approved Mission Specials in the last 50 years. These gifts are in addition to generously given gifts for World Evangelism.
