Connecting and fostering ministry beyond the local congregation to make disciples

Church of the Nazarene is a Christian community that aims to love God and love their neighbour. Through close-knit fellowship, they support and challenge their congregants to live out their Christian faith in meaningful ways – reflecting God’s love for the world.

Made up of local residents, development workers, volunteers, students, tourists and more, the church stands on the foundations of a congregation that was established already in 1921 amongst the Armenian community living in Jerusalem. The church later evolved into an Arabic-speaking congregation and worshipped through Arabic for several decades. In 2008, the church moved to an English-speaking service, making itself available to people from all parts of the city, including the international community.
