Serve
Serving is one of the ways we grow and connect at First Naz. When we serve, we create space for people to experience God’s love. In the process, something forms in us too: community, purpose, and belonging.
Serve Within the Church
Featured Ministry Partner
We regularly partner with ministries within and beyond our denomation to meet needs in our community and beyond. Here’s who we’re partnering with right now.
Nazarene Missions International
Nazarene Missions International (NMI) helps connect the local church to God’s mission around the world. NMI coordinates Nazarene Mission work in 165 world areas and 30,000 churches to share the hope of Jesus across cultures and communities. At First Naz, we’re grateful to partner with NMI as we seek to live out Jesus’ call to make disciples, not only in our own community, but around the world.
