WHAT IS THE ALABASTER OFFERING?

The global church of the Nazarene collects the Alabaster Offering to provide 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."  We encourage you to save your spare change - every penny collected matters and every penny makes a huge difference. Bring your Alabaster Offering on Sunday, February 19th.
ALABASTER FUNDS ARE 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
