Meet Our Mission Directors

The appointed Mission Directors for the United States and Canada are committed, experienced leaders serving among the various immigrant and minority groups in the United States and Canada. The Board of General Superintendents has approved these Mission Directors, and they are available for consultation for mission development to churches and districts. In addition, they are helping produce culturally appropriate resources for Nazarene multicultural ministries.

They represent the five largest minority groups in the Church of the Nazarene. Some of the greatest opportunities for evangelism are among these people groups.
