Missions

The global vision of the Nazarene Church is to advocate in every local church, mobilizing into action, and impacting people around the world. We strongly believe in being missional-minded people, and are committed to sharing the Good News of Christ to the Brighton area and beyond!

Local

We believe in serving local and doing our due diligence to listen and watch our community with attentive ears in order to best practice the ministry of presence. Through relational ministry, we seek to mobilize people to do the work of ministry outside our four walls.

Regional

We believe in the call to serve regionally across our state by supporting other churches, ministries, and communities with the resources God has entrusted to us. We have established relationships we are able to go out and do, to spread the love of Christ.

Global

We believe in the greater global missional strategy to take the gospel to the nations. Through integrated processes within the Nazarene denomination, and our Nazarene Missions International focus, we support missionaries and programs across the world.
