What is an Alabaster offering?

v    The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world.

v    100% of the offering goes toward the construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers.

                80% of the money is used in world mission areas

                20% goes to multicultural congregations in the United States and Canada.

When do we collect the offering?

v    The money is collected in September and February.

v    Sometimes a "march offering" is received with individuals carrying their Alabaster boxes to the front of the church and pouring the money into a large offering container.

v    The way an offering is received is as varied as the world areas in which the Church of the Nazarene has a presence; however, it is always accompanied with a spirit of rejoicing.
