USA/Canada Region
The work of the Church of the Nazarene began officially in the United States in 1887, though the formal organization of the denomination occurred in 1908 with the merger of several like-minded holiness groups. As in many parts of the world, there is an ever-increasing secularization of society, and in the post-COVID world, the United States finds itself fragmenting politically, socially, and economically with many Americans feeling isolated between extremes. There is a renewed emphasis on evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. Whether congregational settings are large or small, people are looking for church communities committed to authenticity, open-hearted fellowship, and a sense of belonging. The message of scriptural holiness is more relevant than ever, and it embraces and challenges all ages. As you will read in the story that follows, children can play a big part in spreading the Good News of Jesus and in the support of missions. It is never too early or too late to begin doing your part to pray for the lost, contribute to missions giving through the World Evangelism Fund or Alabaster, or become more active in changing your world in Jesus’ name.

NYI - Young Adult Ministry | |
After high school, people take on many different paths as they go through life and into their careers, but they often come across some of the same challenges. The YAM ministry is being formed to unite our “young” adults (high school graduates to early 30’s) in an environment where there can be great discussion regarding the many facets of life. The primary focus of the group is to grow together, through fellowship, in the Word of God. | |
