Every Church of the Nazarene around the world pays into a general fund that supports the missionary work of the church in more than 160 world areas!

At Five Mile Church of the Nazarene, we joyfully and gratefully to meet our World Evangelism Fund goal each year. We also support our church's missionary efforts by hosting missionaries, giving love offerings, and contributing to mission-based needs and projects through the year.

Building the Kingdom (what we used to call Faith Promise), is the foundation of our giving to the World Evangelism Fund and the other ways that we support Nazarene mission to make Christlike disciples among all people, everywhere - around the world and across the street!

This year our goal is to raise $10,000!

The way we raise these funds is simple:

We ask every regular attender to pledge an amount above and beyond their regular 10% giving (or tithe), and then trust God to provide that amount throughout the year

Gathering funds in this way has two goals:

1 - reach our $10,000 goal, of course; but also,

2 - to help us all learn to trust God more, in one of the areas that many people struggle -- our money and resources.

May 17-18 is our Build the Kingdom Weekend. You will be given a card to fill out, declaring your trust in God to provide an amount that you determine after prayer and time with the Lord.

Please remember, this is an amount you pledge to give above and beyond your regular 10% giving or tithing.

Whether or not you give that amount is completely between you and the Lord. We won't hound each month or keep track of who has given what.

The church, too, must trust God to provide through the faithful giving of God's people.

Here's an example of the card you will receive:
