Since 1 September 2009, the Church of the Nazarene’s Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.

This week: Mexico

The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Mexico in 1903.

Mexico had a population of 130,739,927 in 2024. That same year, Mexico reported 921 Churches of the Nazarene, 697 of which had been officially organized. Mexico has 78,318 total members.

Mexico is on the Mesoamerica Region. It has twelve Phase 3 districts and three Phase 2 districts.

* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.

The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
