Why World Missions?
We believe that God offers to everyone forgiveness, peace, joy, purpose, love, meaning in life and the promise of heaven when life is over by entering and experiencing a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We are called to take this message to people everywhere. Our mission is to make Christlike disciples in the nations. As a part of the Church of the Nazarene, Turning Leaf Community helps support approximately 462 Career Missionaries plus 262 Mission Corps volunteers in 159 world areas.

A Tradition of Service
Nazarenes have been instrumental in assisting people in every part of the globe who have been affected by war, famine, hurricane, flood and other natural and man-made disasters through 245 full-time compassionate ministries centers and volunteer efforts.
At Turning Leaf Church we are always trying to help those in our local neighborhood as well as sending our local members around the world to go and serve people in need.
