Today the Church of the Nazarene is located in 156 world areas. Our mission is to make Christlike disciples in the nations.

life, and the promise of heaven when life is over by entering and experiencing a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are called to take this message to people everywhere. The Church of the Nazarene is also a holiness church.
