Compelled by our relationship with Christ: – Compassion, Justice & Immigration (CJI) exists to support local Nazarene churches in the tangible witness of compassion, justice and immigration as an expression of lived faith.

More specifically, CJI:

  • Serves the local church at the point of their need
  • Engages broken systems in collaboration with the local church for community transformation
  • Equips the local church in building beloved communities where immigrants are integral to who we are.

Unity in Diversity

  • We are unified in our differences (humanity) as people who bear the image of God (imago Dei)
  • We are called to One mission (Love) with one objective (God’s glory)
