Since September 1, 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: Zambia

The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Zambia in 1961.

Zambia had a population of 20,799,116 in 2024. That same year, Zambia reported 388 Churches of the Nazarene, 145 of which had been officially organized. Zambia has 67,264 total members.

Zambia has two Phase 3 districts, one Phase 2 district, and one Phase 1 district. It is a part of the Africa Region. For more information about the Africa Region, visit africanazarene.org.

* = 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.
