Our Mission
Following the example of Jesus, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) partners with local Nazarene congregations around the world to clothe, shelter, feed, heal, educate, and live in solidarity with those who suffer under oppression, injustice, violence, poverty, hunger, and disease. NCM exists in and through the Church of the Nazarene to proclaim the Gospel to all people in word and deed.
Our Approach
Church-led: Nazarene Compassionate Ministries exists in and through the church. NCM partners with local congregations, supporting them in their efforts to serve others, create change in their communities, and point people toward the love of God through Christ.
Holistic: Poverty is complex. A holistic approach to community development works toward physical, relational, and spiritual wholeness for individuals and communities.
Child-focused: Nazarene Compassionate Ministries works to enable children to become the people God created them to be. In order to accomplish this, we address children’s specific needs, such as stability, education, food, and clean water.
Community-based: Nazarene Compassionate Ministries equips churches to work alongside community members to develop their own communities and address their own situations and challenges.
Transformational: The goal of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries’ work goes beyond community development projects and humanitarian assistance. Our goal is to see individual and communal transformation in and through Christ.
What We Do
Anti-Trafficking: Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery that enables people to profit from the control and exploitation of others. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries partners with local churches in anti-trafficking efforts like awareness campaigns, prevention efforts, and care for victims of trafficking.
Economic Development: NCM partners with local churches to equip individuals and families to interrupt the cycle of poverty—and to enable parents to provide for their children with God-given dignity—through job skills training, savings groups, small business support, and agricultural support.
Emergency Relief: When disaster strikes, the many of the world’s most vulnerable people don’t have safety nets; when homes and livelihoods are destroyed, there is often nowhere to go and no way to recover from the loss of income. NCM works with churches to care for the most vulnerable people in communities impacted by disasters. We emphasize long-term, holistic care addressing physical, economic, and spiritual needs.
Food Security: Hunger is the result of extreme poverty, and it keeps people stuck in poverty. NCM partners with local churches to provide long-term agricultural programs such as small-scale farming, animal husbandry, and fish farms, as well as nutrition education, to improve health and provide a source of income for families and individuals.
Healthcare: Around the world, accessibility, stigma, and education continue to impact people’s health. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries partners with clinics, hospitals, and community-based health care programs around the world to provide education, training, resources, and support for health care needs.
Peacebuilding: Many communities served by Nazarene Compassionate Ministries face conflict and violence related to political instability, ethnic divisions, and poverty. NCM partners with churches to provide peacebuilding training and programs to reduce violence and build positive relationships within communities.
Safe Water: Access to clean water is critical to health and development. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries partners with local churches to provide wells, rainwater catchment systems, water filters, and hygiene training in communities that lack access to clean water.
School Support: Education is a foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty. Nazarene Compassionate Ministries partners with local churches to support access to school, teacher training, school supplies, and infrastructure projects to improve educational outcomes for children and youth.
