Luke 10:27
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and will all your strength
and with all your mind’;
and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
WHO WE ARE:
Optimists of grace
The primary objective of our district is to populate Northwestern Ohio with dynamic, Wesleyan-Holiness churches. We are “optimists of grace,” realizing it is by God’s initiative that we come to know Him, are offered salvation through Jesus Christ, and are being made like Jesus by the work of the Holy Spirit. As followers of Christ, we seek to “love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.”
Presently, we have sixty congregations in our twenty-two counties, and are actively seeking to start new churches. The relatively small geographical footprint of our district, as well as the belief that we are better together, makes us a connected district. There are many opportunities for fellowship, worship, evangelism, and training.

EASTER OFFERING
As followers of Christ, we are all called to be ambassadors of the Kingdom throughout the world. And through the global Church of the Nazarene, you are doing exactly that. Not only are you showing Christ’s love to your neighbors locally, you are showing it to those thousands of miles away.
When your church supports the Easter Offering fund, they are supporting the actions of Nazarenes loving others in Christ’s name, truly making Christlike disciples in all nations. To learn more about the ways this offering has helped sharing Christ’s love with our world, or for promotional materials you can use in your church, click here. To give a personal gift, click here.

We are committed to telling the missions story by providing resources and support for informing and educating local churches, not only in what other Nazarenes are doing in missions, but how they can get involved, too.
Our goal is to mobilize the Church in missions efforts across the globe by emphasizing five different areas of impact.
