Canada West District is the extension of the Global network of Nazarene churches and ministries that covers the three prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It consists of 36 congregations and 8 satellite ministries (we call them NewStarts) as well as 7 Compassionate Ministry Centers. We are a people who truly love God and try hard to make a positive difference in whatever community we find ourselves. Our expressions of faith come in many ways with a wide variety of worship - some are liturgical and based on the ancient traditions of the church; others are contemporary and geared to a present generation of believers; still others are in different languages and customs (Spanish, Sudanese, Congolese, Hindi). We are found in small rural towns and large cities - but we believe you will find a warm and receptive welcome wherever you go.
Caring for the needs of those who live on the thin edge of hope is also an expression of Christlike faith and to help us with that we have 7 Compassionate Ministries who provide a wide range of services in response to the needs of others - including food programs, clothing banks, counselling services, transitional housing programs. It is, for us, an important outlet for giving back some of the blessings we have received - and all in a desire to help bring.
On behalf of the Churches of the Nazarene across our District - I welcome you to come and get to know us more.
Blessings,
Dr. Larry Dahl
District Superintendant
