Crisis Care Kits
Crisis care kits are a part of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries' worldwide disaster relief strategy. They are gallon bags that are filled with hygiene items. The kits are prepared throughout the year and stored at one of three warehouses across the United States where they can be mobilized quickly during disasters. The warehouses move anywhere between 6,000 to 10,000 crisis care kits during a busy hurricane season. Crisis care kits meet the needs around the world. The kits have gone to places like Belize, California, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Jordon, Louisiana, Philippines, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Hati, Cuba, and Zambia. Your generosity makes an incredible difference! We collect for crisis care kits all year long.

Alabaster
The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. While we understand the church consists of the people of God and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots."  Alabaster offering is traditionally taken 2 times/year, in September and February. 100% of  all Alabaster funds received goes towards the following:

Use of Alabaster funds

Alabaster funds are to be used for new churches to:
- Purchase a property or church building
- Purchase or build a church parsonage
- Build a church building
- Conversion of a property into a church gathering space
- Meet initial costs for renting a church meeting space for a limited period

Alabaster funds may also be used to:
- Purchase or build missionary homes
- Purchase or build regional or field missions facilities
 - Build or repurpose buildings on Bible college campuses
