DISTRICTS on the USA/Canada Region

Thanks for your interest in learning more about our 78 districts on the USA/Canada Region. Each of these districts is located in one of the following 9 fields across the region; Canada, Central USA, East Central USA, Eastern USA, North Central USA, Northwest USA, South Central USA, Southeast USA and Southwest USA. Districts are not all the same size or have the same resource capabilities. As Jesus taught, we believe “to whom much is given much is required” (Luke 12:48). As Nazarenes we practice interdependence. We believe the healthy district culture of larger districts instinctively desires to resource smaller districts. We see this same action taking place when healthy, multiplying large churches resource smaller churches. This is part of healthy, Nazarene district and local church culture. Because we are committed to lifelong learning in both church and district development, we have a never-ending commitment to improve district support systems.

We encourage you to study the district websites below. If you are interested in planting a new church, revitalizing an existing church or receiving ministerial training, these superintendents would love to visit with you. Welcome to the Nazarene movement. There is a place for you among us. We look forward to getting better acquainted with you in the days ahead.
