Our Mission Areas
What is a Mission Area?
The Southwest Indiana District Church of the Nazarene is comprised of 22 different counties in the southwest portion of the state of Indiana. Those counties have been organized into 8 Mission Areas based on the church’s geographic location.
Each Mission Area has a leader who assists our District Superintendent in building a sense of community and camaraderie among the pastors of that mission area and helps serve as a communications bridge between the local congregations and the District.
