Mission Statement

Responding to the Great Commission, the mission statement for the Eurasia Region of the Church of the Nazarene is to develop an indigenous, interdependent, self-supporting, holiness church in the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition.

 

Our vision for the future:

By 2010, this is what we will strive to see . . . 
Sharing the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:1-11) we are united in: 

  • Unity in identity, integration of all ministries, and coherence of direction as the Church of the Nazarene in our various contexts and cultures (John 17; Core Values, Church of the Nazarene).
  • Evangelism and church planting that focuses on building the Church, and utilizing facilities as appropriate.
  • Discipleship of people of all ages in a major focus in all our efforts (Ephesians 4:12-13).
  • A church that intentionally ministers to and involves children and youth.
  • All churches, districts, and ministries in the region healthy and growing towards maturity and holism (Luke 2:52).
  • Missionaries in the region whose priority and focus is the timely hand over of the work to a maturing indigenous church (Romans 15:23; Colossians 1:24-29).
  • Eurasian Nazarenes involved in the operations, representation, leadership, and ministries at the regional and global levels of the Church of the Nazarene.
  • A church where prayer is central to the life and ministry of every congregation.

 

Embedded in prayer, our vision will be accomplished by focusing on the following strategic priorities:

  • Make effective evangelism and discipleship central to our efforts.
  • Facilitate programs and resources to evangelize and mobilize children and youth
  • Define and develop healthy districts, churches, and ministries.
  • Focus on planning healthy and sustainable churches that reproduce.
  • Emphasize leadership development, training, and education.
  • Integrate compassionate ministries in our work.
