Funds collected by the church are used for the following purposes:

1. Local Church Ministries

   Apart from weekly worship services, prayer meetings, training sessions and counselling, our church also helps people in need within our community. Ill health, the loss of a job, or some tragedy like the death of a loved one or a house fire can leave people needing help beyond their own resources. Our church is there to help and you can contribute financially or by volunteering.

2. World Evangelism Fund

   The Church of the Nazarene missionaries provide education and medical programs in more than 100 countries. The missionary society also builds schools, hospitals, and churches around the world.

3. District Ministries

   We belong to the Canada Pacific District of the Church of the Nazarene which unifies churches in British Columbia and the Yukon. The district provides support services, feeding, clothing, and enabling people on the street and the poor and hungry overseas, in addition to providing godly leadership to its member churches.

4. Christian Education

   We support Ambrose University in Calgary, Alberta which was founded by the Church of the Nazarene and the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. This university, offering provincially accredited degree programs, is training the next generation of church leaders.

The Esquimalt Church of the Nazarene is a registered charity and all giving to the church is tax receiptable. Tax receipts are issued at the end of February each year.
