The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. While we understand the church consists of the people of God and not a building, buildings erected for the purpose of ministry help provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots."

Alabaster funds are to be used for new churches to: 

Purchase a property or church building

Purchase or build a church parsonage   Build a church building

Conversion of a property into a church gathering space

Meet initial costs for renting a church meeting space for a limited period

Alabaster funds may also be used to: 

 Purchase or build missionary homes  Purchase or build regional or field missions facilities 

Build or repurpose buildings on Bible college campuses
