Responding to the Great Commission, the mission statement for the Eurasia Region of the Church of the Nazarene is to develop an indigenous, interdependent, self-supporting, holiness church in the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition.

Our vision for the future:

• Unity in identity, integration of all ministries, and coherence of direction as the Church of the Nazarene in our various contexts and cultures. (John 17; Core Values, Church of the Nazarene)
• Evangelism and church planting that focuses on building the Church, and utilizing facilities as appropriate.
• Discipleship of people of all ages in a major focus in all our efforts. (Ephesians 4:12-13).
• A church that intentionally ministers to and involves children and youth.
• All churches, districts, and ministries in the region healthy and growing towards maturity and holism. (Luke 2:52)
• Missionaries in the region whose priority and focus is the timely hand over of the work to a maturing indigenous church. (Romans 15:23; Colossians 1:24-29)
• Eurasian Nazarenes involved in the operations, representation, leadership, and ministries at the regional and global levels of the Church of the Nazarene.
• A church where prayer is central to the life and ministry of every congregation.

Embedded in prayer, our vision will be accomplished by focusing on the following strategic prioities:

• Make effective evangelism and discipleship central to our efforts.
• Facilitate programs and resources to evangelize and mobilize children and youth
• Define and develop healthy districts, churches, and ministries.
• Focus on planning healthy and sustainable churches that reproduce.
• Emphasize leadership development, training, and education.
• Integrate compassionate ministries in our work.
