Our Partners

Nazarene Compassionate Ministries relies on crucial partnerships with other faith-based organizations in order to most effectively accomplish our mission to clothe, shelter, feed, heal, educate, and live in solidarity with those who suffer under oppression, injustice, violence, poverty, hunger, and disease.
