The region exists to support and fulfill the mission of the Church of the
Nazarene — to make Christlike disciples in the nations. To this end, regional
leaders have mutually agreed on five strategic priorities.

• Intentional Leadership Development – Recognize, develop, train, and release
passionate leaders with a Wesleyan-Arminian focus.

• Vibrant Church Renewal – Help each local church discover new missional life.

• Clear and Coherent Theological Identity – Facilitate communication and
collaboration between the denomination’s Global Ministry Center, educational

regions, educational institutions, ministers, and laity through print and
electronic media, civil conversation, and clear preaching.

• Passionate Missional Outreach – Release and encourage our people to
embrace with open arms and hearts both the needy and the new people
groups among us.

• Multi-faceted New Church Development – Foster an environment and
enthusiasm for starting new churches through districts and local churches.
