Cyndi Snowden, and David Charlton were declared elected.

Rev. Pierce introduced Adam Estle as a resource for help with immigration law. He works with Orangewood Church of the Nazarene’s Life

Bridge Ministry.

Rev, Pierce introduced a video from Rev. Todd Johnson and Northgate Church of the Nazarene. They are a part of ministry called Global

Restorations.

Manual Changes made by the 2013 General Assembly need to be ratified by all Phase 2 and 3 Districts. Each of these was read by the

District Secretary.

Manual Paragraph 32. This was seconded and adopted.

Manual Paragraph 27.1, item 3, and item 5. This was seconded and adopted. A motion was made and seconded clarifying that the

wording, rather than the Manual Paragraph number, is the important matter. The motion was adopted.

Manual Paragraph 27.2, item 3.

Rev. Matt Rundio spoke against ratification, due to wording that would indicate a reaction of fear to a cultural issue

that represents a legalistic approach. It also expresses our church as a culture of exclusion rather than a culture of grace.

Rev. Ray Wardlaw spoke in favor of ratification, citing the history of unclarified language leading to an erosion of

Christian values.

Rev. Matt Codd spoke against ratification, pointing out that “Extramarital Sexual Activity” covers this. He cited a

Nazarene author who sees marriage as a sacrament that does not include homosexual marriage.

Daniel Gardner from Coolidge spoke in favor of ratification, citing the need for our denomination to take a stand on this

public issue. A clear differentiation needs to be made.

Rev. Rod Marion spoke against ratification. This would lead to hundreds of thousands of statements relative to our

culture.

Rev. Bob Zangger spoke in favor of ratification. As a wedding practitioner in the State of Nevada, this would help him

be able to say “no” to wedding chapels who want their ministers to perform same-sex marriages.

Rev. Kyle Layne requested that we have a time of prayer concerning this issue that might become divisive.

Questions for the Chair:

o What percentage of districts is required to adopt this? Two Thirds.

o Is it appropriate to ask for a paper ballot? We will if it requires a count.

o Request for more speakers.

o Request to be tabled was denied.

Rev. Dan Flemming spoke against ratification, citing that homosexual marriage is already mentioned in our Covenant

of Christian Conduct. If this is included, many more issues will need to be added.

Rev. Jim Cunningham spoke in favor of ratification, citing that much of the New Testament articulated responses to

the sins of their culture. This makes it specific and clear.

Rev. Crystal Lutton spoke against ratification due to a reservation. Concern that this takes the issue to the level that

sexual orientation is considered a sin (the person) rather than the sinful action (and not the person).

Rev. Fred Otto spoke in favor of ratification. This statement is important for cultures where marriage is not defined by

the church but by a non-Christian culture.

Aaron Duffy spoke against ratification. Same sex relations fall under the wording “perversion”

Joe Heeley spoke in favor of ratification. Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures say that same sex behavior is

wrong, not same sex orientation.

A motion to “table” this until tomorrow was made and seconded. Motion failed.

This motion for ratification was adopted.

Manual Articles of Faith (paragraphs 1-22). This was seconded and adopted.

Manual Articles of Faith (Manual entities). This was seconded and adopted.

Manual Paragraph 18, Article of Faith XIV. This was seconded and adopted.

Manual Paragraph 30. This was seconded and adopted.

Report of the ballot for District Advisory Board: Clergy: Richard A. Stoffan 145, Jeffrey L. Fillis 107. Layperson: Dr. Dan Spaite 168, Monty

Ortman 83. Rich Stoffan and Dr. Dan Spaite were declared elected.

Vegas Christ Community, Las Vegas First, North Las Vegas Grace Samoan.

Pastors’ Reports - Southwest Mission Area, Steve McClanahan reporting: Bard, Yuma Desert Grace, Yuma First (dba Connecting Point).

marketing strategy. It’s who we are!” PLNU is listed as the 6th in the best value and quality of all California universities. Our Educational Budget

money goes to scholarships for Nazarene students from the Southwest Region. Ground has been broken for a new science center. Christian higher

education is a priority.

Rev. Pierce gave announcements.

Adjourn for supper.

Friday Evening, 6:15 PM

The District Teen Impact Choir ministered in music and testimony.

Rev. Pierce welcomed the Assembly back from the supper hour. Host Pastor, Rev. Kendall Franklin, opened the evening session in

prayer.

Rev. Jeff Fillis and the worship band led the Assembly in worship music and prayer.

Dr. Busic introduced Rev. Pierce for the first part of the Report of the District Superintendent.

Appreciation and Accountability - Pastor Doug shared family pictures. He recognized his wife, Becky, and her gift of hospitality. The District

Advisory Board expresses Spirit-led discernment and wise counsel. The office staff is dedicated and great. New District Secretary, Richard A.

Stoffan, and his wife are doing great. Thank-yous to SDMI Chairman, Matt Rundio, NMI President, Paul Martinez, NYI co-Chairs, Krisi Ruth and

Matt Dennis, Michael and Cindy Keleher, Camp Pinerock managers, and to every pastor, staff member and lay person who serves on the front lines

in their churches.

Statistics include: Worship average attendance was 9,584. Sunday School averaged 7,670. There were 1,836 new converts. 418 were

baptized. At Camp Pinerock, at boys’ camp, out of the 111 boys attending, 46 either accepted Christ for the first time, or were called into ministry as

a pastor or missionary! 80% of the counselors in attendance were called into full-time ministry. Over 300 decisions for Christ happen each year

through the ministry of Camp Pinerock. Total income for all churches was $16,364,543. $1,730,660 was invested in the World Evangelism Fund,

Pensions and Benefits Fund, Education Fund, and the District Operations Fund. $675,220 was given for Mission Specials. $2,405,880 or 14.7% of

our churches’ total income was invested in the lives of others!

Rev. Pierce is accountable to the DAB and Pastors through email updates. Specifics include: meeting with 204 pastors, staff and laity in

individual meetings, visited 34 churches, some more than once, conducted 24 local church board and staff meetings, participated in 28 District

board, council and committee meetings, led 4 pastoral transitions, conducted 13 pastoral reviews, attended 19 District camps, retreats and events.

Currently working with 6 open churches.

Dr. Jack Stone is returning to the District as Rev. Pierce’s Assistant. This will free Rev. Pierce to lead strategic initiatives and spend more

time with pastors and people on the front lines.

Rev. Pierce recognized people who serve faithfully with a District Servant Award: Pastor Curt Lunsford, Tucson New Life Community

Church; Shelby Busch, lay-leader at West Valley Family Church; Ron Fay, Point Loma Nazarene University for 20 years and a great help for our

District and pastors, and Charlotte Schuster, District Office Bookkeeper, who will be retiring in December.

Following Rev. Pierce’s report, special guests were recognized: Dr. Jim and Sally Bond, Dr. Bob and Linda Brower, Ron and Carol Fay,

Thirl and Floyd Johnson, Mardel Knowles, and Dr. Mark Layle.

The offering tonight will go to needy children to attend camp. While the offering was received, the Memorial Roll was shown on the screen.

Jeff Fillis and the Worship Band led the congregation in singing “I Am Thine, O Lord.”

Dr. Busic preached. He told about his and Christi’s early relationship and marriage. They were tremendously in love, and miserable. They

didn’t know how to make it work. At their wits end Christi commented that they needed Jesus. There was a men’s group praying for David Busic.

One of those men, Ira Brown, called and invited him to be a youth sponsor at their church, and to invite him to church on Sunday. They overslept on

Sunday morning, but went to the evening service, and responded to the altar call. God did something in his heart on that Superbowl Sunday night.

He changed David forever!

What happened to him that night that totally changed his nature? There was still maturity to be gained, but something in his nature

changed. Paul described this in Ephesians 2:8-10, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the

gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in

advance for us to do.”

Notice the order: 1. We are saved by God’s grace. Grace is the favor given to someone, who deserves the opposite. Grace means “free

gift.” 2. Grace leads to “faith.” Faith is the awareness of and response to the One who has awakened us, by grace. Many people can’t believe in the

specifics of Jesus, but they can believe in the general principles of love and hope. But Paul said that without Jesus crucified and resurrected, then

our faith is futile. Faith in general is not worth anything. We are saved because of Jesus Christ, alone. He is our hope. 3. Faith produces good

works, fruit. If there isn’t something happening in our character and real-life behavior, then something is wrong. “We are God’s workmanship / God’s

poem.” We are God’s work of art. Art is beautiful, valuable, and an expression of the artist. We are God’s art: beautiful, valuable, and an expression

of God. However, we have been marred and defaced by sin. Compare what God has done with us, with what was done with a sculpture of the Pieta,

which was horribly vandalized. The master sculptor repaired the sculpture so that the damage was hardly noticeable. But God recreates us so that

we are a better work or art afterward than we were before. The real Jesus remakes us. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves.

Rev. Jeff Fillis and the Worship Band led in a final song, while Dr. Busic opened the altar for prayer.

Saturday, May 31, 8:15 AM

Rev. Jeff Fillis and the Worship Band led the congregation in singing “I Will Love The Lord” and “Jesus Messiah”.

Host Pastor, Rev. Kendall Franklin, led the Assembly in an opening prayer. He welcomed the Assembly to Crossroads Church and

thanked the staff.

Dr. Busic presented Rev. Pierce for the second portion of the District Superintendent’s report. In 1851 James Roebling proposed to build

a bridge across the Niagara River Gorge. It looked impossible, 824 feet across and 200 feet straight down, with 37.4 million gallons of water per

minute falling into the gorge. Roebling believed a train could cross this great chasm someday, and he proposed a suspension bridge.

Our world today demonstrates a gap between belief and unbelief. The Church is the bridge. Churches with denominational connections

have both challenges and opportunities. We celebrate our connection with our denomination. The Church of the Nazarene provides: A unified

global mission thrust and denominational church planting, A well-articulated Wesleyan-Arminian theology, A rich legacy that an independent church

cannot know, A relational network for a church in crisis, Due to our unified strength of 30,000 congregations and 2.2 million members we are able to

channel resources to people and places that individual congregations would never be able to reach. “I am proud to be a part of the Church of the

Nazarene.”

Dreams: That we will be known for high levels of collaboration that benefit the Kingdom of God, that we will be known for a strong sense of

community and high morale among pastors, associates, laity, and District leadership, That we will be a District that comes alongside young men,

women and others who are called to ministry, partnering with them by providing mentoring, training seminars, prayer support and ongoing

educational opportunities, that we will be known as an intergenerational and multi-cultural church that effectively bridges the generations and

different cultures in our area, that we effectively use Camp Pinerock as a tool for evangelism and life enrichment, that we aggressively embraces

starting new churches, re-starting some existing ones, and finding other innovative and entrepreneurial ways of reaching the lost, that we re-enter

urban areas we have abandoned in the past, that we will be known as a District that lives out the ethos of our theology to hurting, broken and sinful

people who have no hope in their lives. Rev. Pierce offered the example of “Teree” from Village of Oak Creek. “The pain was so bad that if I hadn’t

had Jesus in my life, I would have died.”

The work of the DS as outlined in the Manual has many dimensions:

Spiritual: Laypeople and pastors are constantly in his prayers. He tirelessly seeks to hear from the Lord, keeping his spiritual life vibrant

and in tune with Him. Our hope lies in prayer and transformational revival.

Assembler of the Vision: Meeting with the DAB and others in developing a vision framework. This fall he will be inviting you to help shape

the vision for our collective missional work.

Commitment: Multicultural and multi-generational outreach, new starts and re-starts, plus finding effective ways to connect our children,

high school, college students and Millenials to their faith and the church. For example - Renovation Church is 18 months old and running over 200 in

worship. Mesa First has a bilingual service. Oro Valley is planting a new church in the Sahuarita area and a pastor has been hired. A young couple is

starting an organic church in their living room. A Nazarene pastor is coming from the East Coast to plant a cowboy church in Pahrump, Nevada. A

Dynamic Church Planting Seminar will be held August 18-21.

The District Office is becoming a bridge between our denomination and the pastors, laity and churches on our District. Strategic

connections are being made so we can help each other fulfill our missional opportunities. Resources are always in demand. Rev. Pierce’s desire is

Page 35: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

35

to come alongside local churches to provide resources for legal and financial counsel, increased buying power through collaborative purchasing,

resources for developing local and Mission Area strategies, as well as access to camps and other District events.

The District Superintendent is charged with pastoral oversight and development, including identifying those called to ministry, providing

resources for their education, assuring their credentialing, plus holding them accountable for their articulation of our Wesleyan-Arminian theology.

The District Superintendent plays a key role in helping churches find the “right” pastor for their ministry and cultural setting. This is a spiritual process

in which we must stay in sync with God’s Spirit, in order to find the person He has in mind for the church.

It’s important we understand the “Why?” God has called us to be in the bridge building business, bridging the gap between the church and

our culture. Jesus bridged the gap between God and humankind.

James Roebling’s bridge was completed in March 1855. Roebling was pleased. The separation that long existed between two countries

had been spanned. It’s important we understand the Church was designed to be a bridge. Bridges give life through two-way movement! Without its

own bridges to the world, the Church in time will fade into isolation, self-congratulation, and finally irrelevance. Why? Because God designed the

Church to give life. When we “cross the bridge” into our culture and share God’s love, He blesses us and gives us life. And when unbelievers “cross

the bridge” and are welcomed into our fellowship without reservation, God blesses and gives us life.

The report was received by the Assembly with a standing vote of confidence.

Dr. Busic emphasized the role of church planting. A typical church life span is 40 - 60 years. 60% of all churches in the USA and Canada

are at least 40 years old. This means that most are in a plateau stage. We need to be planting twice as many churches as we are closing.

A Board of Tellers was called and a ballot passed for the reelection of Rev. Pierce. A report from the District Advisory Board was read

encouraging the reelection of Rev. Pierce.

A very short video was shown about what our monitory gifts to the WEF goes to. Dr. Mark Layle explained the role of the Nazarene

Foundation.

Bill Kells gave the Report of the Treasurer. The report was seconded.

Question - Concerning the losses reported, what is the District doing? Answer - transferring funds from our Investment Fund. The income

from our churches is the lowest percentage in the USA/Canada. District investment properties are considering being sold. Some of this year’s

losses were due to fiscal timing.

Question – It would have been helpful to see the results of the audit. Answer - copies of the audit are available in the District Office. Last

year was a full audit. This year was a review.

Question - Why not give numbers comparing this year’s report with last year. Answer - Previous year’s reports are available at the District

Office. What is presented is a summary.

Question - It would be helpful to have the CPA’s report.

Question – What were the Real estate transactions? Answer - A local church’s sale of a cell tower inflated previous year’s income. This

was held by the district. This year it was returned to the local church.

Question - How are the investments doing? Answer - Our risk tolerance is low, so the cash is in low yield C.D.’s. The District Office

building is partially rented out, as well as other rental properties.

Question - Dr. Stone is coming on as staff - how will that be funded? Through the Investment Fund and Arizona Nazarene Lands. Dr.

Stone will be working a 40 hour week, but will be paid at a much lower rate.

Saturday, May 31, 11 AM

Rev. Jeff Fillis lead the congregation in singing “Holiness Unto The Lord”. District Secretary, Rev. Rich Stoffan led the Ordinands and their

spouses into the Assembly.

Dr. Busic began the Ordination Service and prayed.

Rev. Krisi Ruth and Rev. Dee Marsh read Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-16.

Rev. Pierce led the congregation in reading the Apostles Creed, and read the names of first time District License recipients. The

candidates were recognized and a charge was presented to them.

Rev. Matt Rundio read 1 Peter 5:1-4.

Rev. Pierce recognized the retirement of Rev. David Bostick and Rev. Brian Delbridge. Dr. Busic presented each with a plaque for their

retirement.

District Secretary, Rev. Richard A. Stoffan, presented the candidates for ordination to Dr. Busic: D’Anne Marie Boswell, Vincent J.

Carotenuto, Matthew William Dennis, Jaime Suzanne Levi, Robert Frank Rehm, Vicki Lynn Vaquero. Deacon, Kevin Brian McGinnis, an ordained

Deacon, is also being Ordained Elder. Dr. Busic explained the responsibilities of an Elder and Deacon.

Dr. Steven Burns, Rev. Chris Conrad, and Rev. Paul Martinez read from the Nazarene Manual.

Rev. Jeff Fillis lead the congregation in singing, “And Can It Be”.

Dr. Busic brought the Ordination Message. Some of Jesus’ disciples were fishermen. Jesus was teaching and borrowed Simon’s boat to

use as a teaching platform. After the teaching, Jesus asked Peter to launch out into the deep water to fish. Peter pointed out that they had fished all

night and caught nothing. However, he said, “But because You say so, I will.” These were life-changing words for Peter. This is what it means to be a

follower of Jesus. We obey, even when we don’t understand. When Simon let down the nets, a miracle happened, a huge catch of fish. One net and

boat wouldn’t hold them all. Both boats were so full they almost sank. Simon turned his attention away from the fish, to Who was in the boat. This

was about Jesus catching him! Jesus chose Simon to be a fisherman of people. Simon obeyed. James and John obeyed. They pulled their boats

onto shore, left everything and followed Jesus. The seven most important words for a disciple of Jesus are, “But because You say so, I will.”

Why can we say yes?

1. Because we trust that Jesus knows more than we do. Not everything Jesus says makes sense to me. For example, if someone curses

you, bless them. I don’t obey the commands of Jesus because they make rational sense, but because I am His disciple and He told me to. Jesus

knows more than I do. Submission – it’s when you trust another person’s wisdom, authority, and character, and they know more than you do. God is

omnipotent and omniscient, He’s the God of our present and our future. He knows more than we do. God stands in our future and sees the big

picture, like a college football offensive coordinator sitting up in a skybox who can see the whole field.

2. Because we love Him and want to please Him. Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will do what I say.” Some people follow Jesus out of

fear of retribution, duty, and obligation. The highest level of obedience comes out of love. “Perfect love casts out fear.” We can make our little kids

do what we want through intimidation and consequences. But when they become an adult, they want our blessing because of love. The Ordinands

are launching out into an adventure of ministry. But there will also be moments where life will be complex and the Lord will ask you to do things that

don’t make sense. Your answer needs to be, “I will because you say so, if you give me the strength, wisdom, and power to act.” Missionaries Larry

and Addie Garman, in the Amazon River basin, early in their ministry Addie was bitten by a very poisonous snake that was always fatal. She became

very sick and was at the point of death. A Nazarene man in the mid-west USA, at the time of the family Thanksgiving Dinner, felt checked to pray. He

left the table and went to pray. God directed him to pray for missionaries, for South America, for Addie Garman. Just as suddenly as the burden

came, after about 15 minutes, the burden suddenly lifted. At the next General Assembly he met Addie and learned about her being bitten by a

poisonous snake and about to die. She had begun to recover at the time when that person prayed. The point of the story is that the man was an

obedient follower of Jesus. Even when it didn’t make sense to leave the Thanksgiving Dinner table to pray, he did it because God told him to.

If the entire district would take the posture of “But because you say so, I will”, then this place would be transformed.

Dr. Busic led in the ritual of Ordination.

D’ Anne Marie Boswell, Elder

Vincent J. Carotenuto, Elder

Matthew William Dennis, Elder

Jaime Suzanne Levi, Elder

Robert Frank Rehm, Elder

Vicki Lynn Vaquero, Deacon

Kevin Brian McGinnis, Elder

Dr. Busic presented a Certificate of Ordination to each Ordinand, and presented them to the Assembly.

Dr. Bob Brower, President of Point Loma Nazarene University, presented each Ordained Elder with a gift from the university, a statue of

Jesus calling the fishermen to be His disciples.

Dr. Busic invited the Assembly to personally greet the Ordinands, and pronounced a benediction.

Respectfully submitted,

Robert R. Ogden, Recording Secretary Douglas R. Pierce, District Superintendent

IV. Reports

A. DISTRICT OFFICERS

1. District Superintendent

Friday Evening, May 30, 2014 (Part 1)

Dr. Busic, honored guests, delegates, and friends; it’s a privilege to present Part 1 of my second report as District Superintendent. I will

continue tomorrow morning. Tonight, I want to focus on appreciation and accountability, plus present a special award to some deserving people.

In case you are new and don’t know Becky and I very well, I brought along a few pictures to give you a quick snapshot. Take a look at the

screens...

Let me express my appreciation. It’s a team effort and I couldn’t get the job done without the prayers, support, expertise and

encouragement of some wonderful people:

First and foremost, my wife, Becky. One of Becky’s strengths is hospitality. There’s always room for one more in our home, at our dinner

table, and in her life. She quietly serves behind the scenes, whether it’s making sure we have gifts for the children of pastors on our church visits, or

taking a friend of hers, who has cancer, small containers of banana pudding. We are partners in ministry and I am definitely a blessed man because

of her!

I have the privilege of working with an outstanding Advisory Board! They provide Spirit-led discernment and wise counsel. They’re not

afraid of asking hard questions, but they always do it in a Christ-like manner. I love that about them. And they provide outstanding pastoral care for

Becky and me. They are servant-leaders with spiritual depth, who I highly respect!

My thanks and sincere appreciation goes to the lay members of the Advisory Board: Jacque Frey, Loyd Rains, Jim Cullumber, Steve

Burns and Dan Spaite. Plus ministerial members: Pastors Kevin McGinnis, Javier Tamez, Curt Gentry and Ira Brown (Bruce McCrite moved to

Oregon).

We have a dedicated District Office staff: Brenda Mastin, my assistant and office manager; Charlotte Schuster, bookkeeper; Tina

Anderson assisted with our recent software transition; and Bill Kells, District Treasurer.

Due to the resignation of Pastor Bruce McCrite, the Advisory Board elected a new District Secretary, Rev. Rich Stoffan. His wife, Trish,

will assist him. We welcome them to these new roles!

Additional personnel changes happened this year. Rev. Matt Rundio was appointed as the new SDMI Chair, due to the resignation of

Rev. Denise Burns. Rev. Bruce McKellips and Cinda accepted an invitation to return to the mission field and are serving the Eurasia Region. Pastor

Paul Martinez was appointed to fill the NMI Presidency. Rev. Kurtis Strunk and Emily accepted an assignment with Nazarene XTreme and are

serving in Ecuador. Rev. Krisi Ruth and Rev. Matt Dennis were elected as Co-Presidents of NYI. Thanks to each of the former leaders, plus the

news ones and their Councils.

Appreciation goes to our PLNU Trustees, Ministerial Studies Board chaired by Rev. Chris Conrad, and Credentials Board, Finance

Committee, Nominating Committee, Mission Area Coordinators, and the other councils and committees. Mike Keleher, our Camp Director, and his

wife, Cindy, are providing positive and effective leadership at Pinerock. In addition, we are privileged to have a member of the General Board on our

District, Dr. Dan Spaite.

And to each of you on the front lines of ministry in your churches—every pastor, staff member and lay person—I want to say, thank you.

You get the job done week in, and week out. Because of your prayers, volunteering your time and giving your resources, we have completed

another successful year of ministry across the District.

Collectively, in worship we averaged 9,584, which is a decrease of 123 over the prior year. But, there’s an important thing to be

aware of. Easter was late this year and fell in the month of April. The prior year it was in March and so the comparison isn’t “apples to apples.” Of

course Easter is the largest single Sunday of worship attendance. This is one of those unintended consequences of our action three years ago to

change our year-end from April 30 to March 31. Even though Easter attendance isn’t included in these numbers, I think you will see the posit ive

growth continues. Two years ago, morning worship was 9095 so the trend is definitely growing in the right direction.

We averaged 7,670 in Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries, which is an increase of 228 over the prior year.

We gained 1,836 new converts, which is 164 more than the prior year. And to me that’s the most important statistic we report! We

also baptized 418 people, an increase of 48, and received 641 new Nazarenes, which is an increase of 206.

And let me add a statistic that doesn’t make the record book. Camp Pinerock is an extremely effective ministry tool God has blessed

our District with. I personally witnessed that effectiveness this past summer at Boys Camp: Out of the 111 boys attending, 46 either accepted Christ

for the first time, or were called into ministry as a pastor or missionary! In addition, 80% of the counselors in attendance were called into full-time

ministry while attending camps and ministry events at Camp Pinerock. That not only thrills me, it also reminds me of the importance of doing

everything we can to enhance and maximize this evangelistic tool God trusted us with. Over 300 decisions for Christ happen each year through the

ministry of Camp Pinerock.

Total income for all churches was $16,364,543, which is an increase of approximately $344,178, compared to the prior year.

You invested a total of $1,730,660 in the World Evangelism Fund, Pensions and Benefits Fund, Education Fund and the District

Operations Fund, which is 10.6% of the total income of all churches.

But you weren’t done giving and sacrificing. You gave an additional $675,220 for Mission Specials around the globe. The bottom line—

you invested $2,405,880, or 14.7% of your churches’ total income in the lives of others!

It’s important to remember, these statistics represent more than our responsibility within our denominational structure. They represent

Page 38: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

38

people who came to know Christ in the Horn of Africa, South America, Ukraine and those in Las Vegas, Willcox and Tucson. They represent

marriages that were healed, children who were taught scripture, meals for the hungry and clothes for the homeless. They represent students and

young adults called into full-time ministry and senior adults who were visited and prayed with.

These numbers tell the world who we really are, and who we represent. We are Christ-followers who intentionally share His love,

compassion and salvation with our world. I commend you for your faithful service, attendance and giving!

I believe accountability applies to the District, as well. I am accountable to you. I want to be a good steward of your confidence and

investment in me! I report the details of my activity and ministry quarterly to the Advisory Board, and also to our pastors and other District leaders

through regular email updates.

A one-page detailed report is available to you. It includes the number of individual meetings I have attended, boards, committee meetings

I have led or participated in, church visits, hospital calls, the number of days off I have taken, and much more. Contact Brenda Mastin at the District

Office, if you would like a copy.

Here’s the “twitter” version of my accountability report for the last 12 months: I met with 204 pastors, staff and laity in individual meetings. I

visited 34 churches (some of them more than once) and conducted 24 local church board and staff meetings. I participated in 28 District board,

council and committee meetings. I led 4 pastoral transitions, conducted 13 pastoral reviews and attended 19 District camps, retreats and events.

Currently, I am working with 6 open churches. Needless to say, it’s been a busy year, but I love it!

Now let me change gears for a moment. First, I have a special announcement. Dr. Jack Stone is returning to the District, but in a different

role. Most of you know Dr. Stone was our interim DS for one year and during that time I was Assistant DS. We’re going to reverse the roles and

now he will be Assistant DS. During that interim, he and I discovered we had great chemistry and worked extremely well together. In addition, it

quickly became evident there was a mutual love and respect between the Stones and our District family.

Dr. Stone will assume portions of the administrative workload in the office, plus be available for other needs across the District. This will

free me to lead the strategic initiatives and spend more time with you on the front lines of ministry. They will move here in September and may keep

their home in Florida, depending on the real estate market there. It obvious we are extremely fortunate to get someone of Dr. Stone’s stature and

qualifications in this position.

Second, I have some awards to present. In each of the churches I pastored, I presented a Servant Award to those people who went

above and beyond in their service to God and the church. Last year I implemented a District version of that award.

Tonight I want to recognize and show appreciation to five people who serve as Jesus served. They serve faithfully, without any fanfare or

self-promotion of any kind. They just get the job done no matter what the cost or sacrifice, and they do it with a Christ-like spirit.

They live out 1 Corinthians 9:19. From the Message paraphrase it says, “Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of

everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people...”

I want to recognize the following people for their outstanding servant leadership:

Pastor Ray Jesser

Charlotte Schuster

Pastor Curt Lunsford

Shelby Busch

Ron Fay

Let’s congratulate them!

Saturday, May 31, (Part 2)

In 1851 many of the most accomplished engineers in the country thought James Roebling was out of his mind. That year Roebling began

to work on the unthinkable—the bridging of the Niagara River Gorge. Disaster was predicted. There was, of course, the sheer mathematics of the

thing: 824 feet across and 200 feet straight down.

But the numbers paled in comparison to the sheer power of the place. Roebling’s proposed site was just upstream from the great Niagara

Falls. 37.4 million gallons of water per minute fell into the Niagara Gorge. It was “no-man’s-land.”

Roebling believed a train could cross this great chasm someday. But, history was not on his side. Although greater spans had already

been bridged, the Niagara River posed extreme difficulties. No girders or bridge supports would ever survive the raging current. The only possible

solution to Roebling was a suspension bridge.

And that had people extremely worried. At the time, suspension bridges were about as well regarded in the engineering profession as the

Edsel would be in the early automotive industry. They were disasters in the making. In England and France suspension bridges had collapsed killing

hundreds of people.

When Roebling first proposed a suspension bridge across the great Niagara Gorge, it came as no great surprise that most people were

betting on the gorge, not the bridge. The chasm was simply too great to cross.

As the Church is engaging the third millennium, we look across a terrifying and ever-widening gap between belief and unbelief. There is a

significant gap between the Church and our culture. Popular sentiment increasingly views the church as unimportant. According to George Barna’s

research, six out of ten Americans believe the church is irrelevant. In the lives of approximately 187 million Americans, that irrelevance produces an

ever-increasing cynicism and hostility. It also produces hurt, heartache and human devastation.

And let me add, there is a gap between churches and many denominational structures, including Districts. In relation to this concern, I

read an interesting article in the November 3, 2013 online edition of Christianity Today. It was titled, “How Can Church Planting Networks and

Denominations Work Together for the Glory of God?” The author was Ed Stetzer, who is an author, speaker, researcher, church planter, and

currently Lead Pastor of Grace Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The article gives us some hope in the area of denominational disconnect, as

Page 39: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

39

well as the disconnect that’s occurring with young adults and the Church in general. Ed said in part:

“Some people may think that denominations have had their day—I don’t think so. Actually, pastors don’t think that is the case. Three out

of four pastors think it vital they are part of a denomination. That includes non-denominational pastors…the fact that non-denominational

evangelicalism and networks are growing should not distract us from the fact that denominations are key in mission and ministry in most contexts.”

He went on to say, “There seems to be a growing desire among pre-churched young adults emerging today for churches with a

denominational connection.”

Though not without our challenges, the impact of the organized Church upon Christendom has been remarkably positive. With our own

tribe, The Church of the Nazarene, there are some amazing, Book of Acts-like things happening around the globe. We celebrate our connection,

support and partnership with a denominational movement God is blessing. The Church of the Nazarene provides:

A unified global mission thrust and denominational church planting.

A well-articulated Wesleyan-Arminian theology.

A rich legacy that an independent church cannot know.

A relational network for a church in crisis.

Due to our unified strength of 30,000 congregations and 2.2 million members we are able to channel resources to people and places

that individual congregations would never be able to reach.

Needless to say, I’m proud to be part of the Church of the Nazarene! I’m also proud and honored to be your Superintendent. Thanks for

your confidence in Becky and me.

At the end of my first two years as District Superintendent and our continued journey together, let me share with you what I dream of for

our District…

I dream we will be known for high levels of collaboration that benefit the Kingdom of God.

I dream we will be known for a strong sense of community and high morale among pastors, associates, laity, and District leadership.

I dream we will be a District that comes alongside young men, women and others who are called to ministry. I see us enthusiastically

partnering with them by providing mentoring, training seminars, prayer support and ongoing educational opportunities.

I dream we will be known as an intergenerational and multi-cultural church that effectively bridges the generations and different

cultures in Arizona, Eastern California, Southern Nevada and Southern Utah. I see diversity in people groups, languages, local church cultures,

sizes of churches, styles of worship and methods of ministry—we are, in effect, many expressions, but one church.

I dream we will be known as a District that effectively uses Camp Pinerock as a tool for evangelism and life enrichment.

I dream we will be known as a District that aggressively embraces starting new churches, re-starting some existing ones, and finding

other innovative and entrepreneurial ways of reaching the lost.

I dream we will re-enter urban areas we abandoned in the past.

I dream we will be known as a District that lives out the ethos of our theology to hurting, broken and sinful people who have no hope

in their lives.

Our General Superintendent, Dr. David Busic, made a powerful statement in a seminar sponsored by Point Loma Nazarene University we

hosted a year and a half ago. He said, “If we are to be pastors and churches who effectively participate in the mission of God in our world, we will be

a faithful presence in the dark places where people are.”

Let me share the story of someone who moved from debilitating darkness to light. Becky and I met Teree Colaianni at Village of Oak

Creek Church of the Nazarene last fall. A year prior to that, she was a methadone addict using up to 275mg a day, which are levels so high that her

doctor told her it would take five to six years to break her dependence on the drug. She decided to kick the habit cold turkey. They told her she

could have a heart attack and die by doing it that way.

As she began the withdrawal process, the pain was so severe she started drinking up to a quart of Vodka a day. It wasn’t long until she hit

bottom and was at one of the darkest moments in her life. Then on November 18, 2012, Teree decided to finally get clean of all substances. And

with the help of a friend, who eventually became her husband, and the help of the Celebrate Recovery leader, her pastor and church family at Village

of Oak Creek, and most importantly, the Lord Jesus Christ, Teree over time was healed and delivered of her addiction. She sa id, “The pain was so

bad that if I didn’t have Jesus in my life I would have died. I probably would have killed myself because of the pain.”

Teree is now serving with the NMI and SDMI ministries at Village of Oak Creek and is being mentored to become a future leader. I was at

the church again in March and Teree and her husband, Tommy, served the North Central Mission Area pastors a wonderful meal. She had a

beautiful smile on her face that day and it was obvious God had redeemed her life!

As Superintendent, I get to hear and see many stories of people across the District who have moved from darkness to light because of

your faithful service and ministry. You represent Christ well and I am proud to be on the team with you!

The work of the District Superintendent, as outlined in the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene has many dimensions, all of which create

opportunity for collaboration and vision….

First and foremost are the spiritual qualities expected of your District Superintendent. My dedication in this regard is three fold: You,

layperson and pastor, are constantly in my prayers as you serve on the frontlines of ministry. Second, I will seek tirelessly to hear from the Lord,

keeping my spiritual life vibrant and in tune with Him. As Leviticus 6:9-13 says in part, “…Every morning the priest is to add firewood…the fire must

be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.” Third, you will hear often from me that our hope lies in prayer and transformational

revival.

Following spiritual vitality is vision. Together we must forge a dynamic and fruitful vision for the mission field known as the Arizona District

Page 40: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

Church of the Nazarene. As the assembler of the vision, I have been meeting with the District Advisory Board and several resource persons to

develop a vision framework we will follow. This Fall I will come to your area and invite you to help shape the vision for our collective missional work.

Meetings will be scheduled at times conducive for participation of both ministers and laity.

Vision is enhanced by commitment. It is in my heart and mind that an intensified commitment to multi-cultural and multi-generational

outreach, additional new church starts, as well as re-starts, plus finding effective ways to connect our children, high school, college students and

Millenials to their faith and the church will forge a powerful future for us.

We’re beginning to see ownership and expansion of that commitment. Renovation, a re-start church is 18 months old and running over

200 in morning worship. Pastor Curt and his team are effectively connecting the various generations represented in the church. Pastor Ira Brown

and Mesa First started a third service, which is a bi-lingual service, where both Spanish and English are spoken. It’s off to a great start under the

leadership of Rob Myers. Pastor Craig Coulter and Oro Valley are launching a new start this fall in the Sahuarita area. The initial funds have been

raised and the planting pastor has been hired.

Also, I’ve been in conversation with a young couple that feels led to start an organic church in their living room. In addition, I’ve had three

or four conversations recently with a Nazarene pastor on the East Coast who grew up in Arizona and feels led to start a cowboy church in Pahrump,

Nevada. It’s exciting to see how God is moving across our mission field! Let me add, if God is nudging you to be involved with a church plant don’t

miss the Dynamic Church Planting Seminar that will be held at our office August 19-21.

In addition, my office will serve as a bridge, a connecting point, between our denomination and the pastors, laity and churches on our

District. I must insure a two-way flow of information and interaction as we partner with the Global Ministry Center, Point Loma Nazarene University

and other denominational entities. Out of a desire to create significant collaborative opportunities, I will facilitate strategic connections: pastors to

pastors, pastors to Mission areas, churches to churches, churches with community-based organizations, and churches to District departments and

ministries so that we can help each other fulfill our missional opportunities.

It goes without saying, resources are always in demand. My desire is to come alongside the local church to provide resources for legal

and financial counsel, increased buying power through collaborative purchasing, resources for developing local and Mission Area strategies, as well

as access to camps and other District events.

At times my presence will be to serve as a listener, counselor and even mediator in unpleasant circumstances. When needed, my office

can bring gifted professionals alongside a pastor, staff member or congregation. In short, it is my responsibility to make sure that resources are

allocated to insure or improve local church effectiveness.

Finally, the Superintendent is charged with pastoral development and oversight. The role of overseer is deeply rooted in Scripture and

serves our church well through identifying those called to ministry, providing resources for their education, assuring their credentialing, plus holding

them accountable for their articulation of our Wesleyan-Arminian theology.

Further, in our organizational structure, which is a combination of both Congregational and Episcopal styles of church governance, the

District Superintendent plays a key role in vetting pastoral candidates and assisting local church leaders and congregations with finding the right

pastor for their unique ministry and cultural setting. To that end, I am regularly in communication with prospective pastors, both on, and off our

District. Plus, I see the pastoral search process as more than a bureaucratic function—it is a spiritual process in which we must stay in sync with

God’s Spirit, in order to find the person He has in mind for the church.

Ultimately, my role is to help pastors and congregations achieve their aspirations and God-instilled vision for their churches.

In closing, it’s important we understand the “Why.” It’s the reason we exist as local churches, as a District, and Denomination. The

Church is called to be in the bridge-building business. We must bridge the gap between the church and our culture. We must share the good news

of God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness. Only as we live what we talk about in church—only as our attitudes, words and lives express true love—only

then will the world reconsider its skepticism, its hostility and its lostness.

Our world must experience the same incarnational influence as the first century experienced when “Grace and Truth” Himself suddenly

bridged that great chasm and became flesh. Jesus Christ came to earth and bridged the gap between God and humankind.

Now, here’s the rest of the story...

James Roebling’s bridge was completed in March 1855. According to the book, Great Bridge, it was profound both in its simplicity and

economy. It describes the bridge as, “four plain towers sixty feet high on opposing banks, four cables ten inches in diameter, their suspenders and

stays, and a straightforward timber truss joining the two levels to the one span. The bottom level was for carriage and pedestrian traffic, the top

reserved for the Great Western Canada Railroad.”

On Friday, March 16, 1855, the first train crossed over. This train was specially assembled to test this new bridge. It was much heavier

than most trains. The engine weighed twenty-eight tons and it pushed twenty double-loaded cars successfully across. A few days later a passenger

train packed to capacity made the journey.

Obviously, Roebling was pleased. The separation that long existed between two countries had been spanned. He was also pleased with

the soundness of the structure. But most of all, he was pleased that it fulfilled its primary purpose. He wrote to his family these words, “No one is

afraid to cross.”

It’s important we understand the Church was designed to be a bridge. Bridges give life through two-way movement! Without its own

bridges to the world, the Church in time will fade into isolation, self-congratulation, and finally irrelevance. Why? Because God designed the

Church, your church, this District, and our denomination, to give life.

When we “cross the bridge” into our culture and share God’s love, He blesses us and gives us life. And when unbelievers, pre-Christians,

“cross the bridge” and are welcomed into our fellowship without reservation, God blesses and gives us life.

And, “No one is afraid to cross.”

Respectfully,

Rev. Douglas R. Pierce, District Superintendent

2. Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International Chairperson

Doug Pierce and the Assembly of the Arizona/Southern Nevada District Church of the Nazarene:

This has been a time of transition in the SDMI on our district. The year began under the excellent leadership of Denise Burns who led this

ministry for many years, greatly improving upon what she was given. I was appointed her successor when she resigned, pleased to find so many

people excited about disciple making on our district

The future of this department is bright. I repeatedly find myself in conversations with people passionate about the unity of the church,

passionate about connecting with God in a plethora of ways, passionate about allowing the Spirit grow us up into Christlikeness. We, as a council,

hope to become a great source of encouragement, unity, and theological grounding for what all our churches do day after day: participate with God

in the renewal of all things including our own hearts and lives.

Over the past year a good number of events and activities took place. In the midst this catalogue of things we have done, we must

remember that God has been at work in and through the ministries of our churches as we seek to grow into Christ’s likeness.

Following are reports from the Equipping Seminar, Children’s, Prime Time, Women’s, and Men’s ministries:

Equipping Seminar

The one event the district SDMI does as a whole is the Equipping Seminar. Last October approximately 125 people from across the district

came together for fellowship and training in a wide variety of topics including Eucharistic theology and practice, safety in the church, child

development, the Church Calendar, and many more for a total of 32 individual workshops.

One of those workshops was building "Homeless Care Kits." The kit included the basic necessities such as soap, toothbrush, wipes, water,

non-perishables, etc. The kits are designed to carry in your car so they are always ready when you least expect it. We also included local shelters

and churches that could be of assistance to them. As John Wesley taught, “works of mercy” are an important means of grace.

Each year the Equipping seminar gets better and we expect that trend to continue.

Children’s Ministries

Andi Blanton, District Children’s Ministry Director, reports on these events:

Extravaganza.

District Children’s Extravaganza was held April 13, 2013 at Glendale Nazarene. Quiz Finals, Talent Presentations, and Pinewood Derby

races happened that day. 145 children participated in quizzing, talent and pinewood derby, adults also joined in the derby race. The day was topped

off with a performance from a Christian Ventriloquist who shared the Gospel message and gave families a wonderful afternoon of entertainment.

Quizzing.

Our District Quizzing Program was Directed by Pastor Frankie Fugate. In 2013-2014, the kids studied the book of Genesis. Under the

leadership of Pastor Frankie, our final quiz included 85 quizzers from all over Arizona/So Nevada. Once again, the quiz team from Lehi Church of the

Nazarene, from our Native American District, joined our quiz program.

We sent one church team, Las Vegas First and two All Star Teams to the Regional Quiz. Las Vegas Team placed FIRST of all the Church

Teams. All Star Team #1 placed FIRST and All Star Team #2 placed FOURTH overall against other All Star Teams. Out of over 100 quizzers, 11

had perfect quizzes (no misses in 40 questions). 9 of those perfect quizzers were from AZ District.

Kids Summer Camps.

Boys Camp was led by Bill Kells and Girls Camp was led by Betsy Hall. The Camp Themes were “A Boy After God’s Own Heart” and “A

Girl After God’s Own Heart,” respectively. The Boys Camp speaker was Pastor Kevin McGinnis. The Girls Camp speaker was Karen Wendling of

One on One Ministry. We had 111 students and 36 adult staff at Boys Camp and 117 students and 37 adult staff at Girls Camp. Thanks to

fundraising and offerings taken at Prime Time Retreat and District Assembly, we were able to discount the price of camp for all who attended. Camp

Pinerock also assisted us with ideas to help keep the cost down for campers.

Caravan

The Arizona District has one of the largest District Caravan participation throughout the US. The program continues to be a great outreach

tool for churches committed to supporting the Christian Scouting program. Debbie Hallman is our District Caravan Director. District Caravan Retreat

was held February 7-9, 2014 at Camp Pinerock. Our Missions Speaker was Evie Gardner, Missionary to Africa. Evie is also a school teacher and

made a Call Missions a tangible for many kids. We had 192 campers and leaders at Retreat and took a $1000 offering for Evie Gardner’s Missions

work.

Prime Time (DayStar)

Prime Time Directors Paul and Vangie Magnuson report:

Our DayStar retreat this year, held at Oro Valley, featured fantastic speaking by Scott Daniels and Robin Smith. The Liberty Quartet and

Larry Vinyard led music. We want to thank Steve Wilson for all the important work in making this retreat successful. Approximately 175 people from

across the district joined us for this time of spiritual refreshment.

Renovation Church has opened their doors to us for next year's DayStar Retreat. We have Evangelist Norman Moore and Pastor Jaime

(Waldron) Levi scheduled to speak, and Josiah Oslund to help with our music.

Women’s Ministry

Carla Derby, District Women’s Ministry Director, reports:

Women's Retreat: 230 women representing 30 of our churches came together for a weekend of worship, community, and growth. Vicki

Copp, former D.S.'s wife was our keynote speaker. A beautiful weekend combined with a beautiful spirit made for a time of reflection and meeting

with God.

We were able to go to 4 churches with mini-retreats, Spiritual Reflections, with our theme, When God Reigns. This was a time to create

bonds between our neighboring churches, to resource, and network.

Women's Ministry has gone virtual. With online information, registration, and even material from the retreat being made available, our

council is looking to go to the next step of registration online and mass mailings to keep people informed. Look for this availability this fall!

Men’s Ministry

Kim Smith resigned his position as District Men’s Ministry Director and, after several months of vacancy, David Charlton took over the

position. Needless to say, we are thrilled that Dave has agreed to lead this ministry. We look forward to the days ahead!

What’s Next

In the coming years, expect to see the district SDMI become a source of theological unity as we work together to make Christlike disciples.

God is at work amongst us and we simply want to find ways to be caught up in the movement of the Spirit as God brings about new creation in our

hearts.

This year’s Equipping Seminar will be a joint venture with the NMI and NYI as we work toward greater unity on the district. At this event we

will see all age groups involved in “works of piety” and “works of mercy” as we live out being one church on our district.

Again, I am thrilled to be a part of such a vital ministry and fantastic team. There are exciting days ahead as we explore more deeply what

it means to be and to make disciples.

Grace and Peace be with you all!

Respectfully Submitted, Rev. Matthew “Matt” A. Rundio, District SDMI Chair

3. District NMI President

I am humbled and honored to present this report to the 88th Arizona District NMI Convention. This report highlights the faithfulness of the

churches on the Arizona/Southern Nevada District to the mission of Christ through the ministry of Nazarene Missions International (NMI).

The purpose of NMI is to mobilize each local church in mission through praying, discipling, giving and educating. In order to accomplish

this great task, we must “fix our eyes on Jesus…” Our overarching theme for the next four years is “Making Christlike Disciples in the Nations.” The

subtheme for year 1 is “Looking Up:”

Looking Up…by praying for God’s direction as we passionately reach the lost.

Looking Up…by discipling and calling the next generation to Christ and to missions.

Looking Up…by giving to those in need out of desire for them to know Christ.

Looking Up…by educating and seeing the harvest in the local, multicultural and global fields.

We praise God for an increase of ten churches achieving Mission Priority One status and nine churches reaching World Evangelism

Church of Excellence this year compared to last. The Lord bless each of you for your tireless efforts to promote missions in your churches!

To the Pastors and local NMI Presidents on the Arizona District, we thank you for your support of missions. We have a candy bar for each

of you as a reminder to pray, disciple, give and educate as we join together on our District Mission project to build a church in Rocky Point, Mexico.

Church Mission Highlights

All of our churches demonstrate an incredible passion for missions in a local, multicultural and global capacity. Many fulfil l the four core

values of NMI by praying, discipling, giving and educating! Here is a sampling of the mission stories reported to us this year:

Coolidge Valley Community hosted an NMI Training for the East Valley Zone with 24 in attendance from Bisbee, Chandler First,

Coolidge, Florence Mosaic and New Beginnings Casa Grande. Lake Powell raised $1,100 for the District Children’s Missions Project, Goats and

Guitars. In a desire to continue giving, they sent an additional $1,300 for World Mission Broadcast’s “Studio-in-a-Backpack” project. Sierra Vista

held a Jesus Film night for the community. Sedona Village of Oak Creek collected 48 Crisis Care Kits to bring to convention. Scottsdale First

planted a community garden. Tucson Central now sponsors seven children through Nazarene Child Sponsorship. Casa Grande New Beginnings

continues its M.A.S.H. food distribution through the local church and also provides food for distribution to many other churches throughout Arizona.

Verde Valley sponsors a child through Nazarene Child Sponsorship.

Missions Trips: CrossRoads, through its Mercy Project Missions Ministry, traveled to Kenya to help build “Wings of Hope,” a gender-

based violence center. NorthGate held a three-part local Work & Witness project at the Lehi Church on the Southwest Native American District.

Coolidge participated in a Work & Witness Project to Dilkon Church of the Nazarene on the Southwest Native American District and will send a

Work and Witness team to Nicaragua, June 6-14, 2014. Mesa First sent a Work & Witness team to Bangladesh in October 2013 and has a Work &

Witness project scheduled in June/July of 2014 to Sun Valley Indian School. Las Vegas First’s “Never the Same Mission” team traveled to Peru in

July of 2013 and another “Never the Same” team will travel to Costa Rica this July 2014. Turning Leaf has a Work & Witness trip to Kenya, in June

2014. Sun City made Work & Witness vision trips to help launch our Arizona District Missions project to Rocky Point. Tucson Mountain View will

send many of its teens and leaders to the Arizona District Impact Missions trip to Mexico. Oro Valley sent Work & Witness teams to Colorado and

Sells, AZ, and made two global Work &Witness trips to assist at orphanages in both India and Hermosillo, Mexico. Tempe has a Work & Witness

team traveling to Costa Rica this July 2014. Glendale First is planning a Work & Witness trip to D.R. Congo in the summer of 2015.

District NMI Council

Ten members of the NMI District Council traveled to General NMI Convention in Indianapolis, IN to represent the Arizona District as

General NMI delegates. Each council member was blessed and equipped in his or her missions’ ministry through the business sessions, workshops,

and worship services. We welcomed the election of a new Global NMI President, Phillip Weatherill of the UK.

The District Council held six meetings to plan and strategize new ways of equipping our local churches in the area of missions. We

increased communication to churches with regular email newsletters. Each Council member was assigned prayer responsibilities for each church in

his or her zone. We adopted Rocky Point, Mexico, as our 100th Anniversary of Global NMI Project. We worked together with SDMI and NYI to

increase unity across departments. As District NMI President for the last six months, I traveled to Rocky Point, Mexico with the Sun City Church to

plan for our District Missions Project. We met with Pastors, Miguel and Alejandra Pineda from the Rocky Point Church, and Alejandro Torres,

representing both Lazarian World Homes and the Northwest Mexico District. I have also met with Ed and Lynda Krestel from the Southwest Native

American District and Dr. Alberto Guang from the Southwest Latin American District about partnering together for Work and Witness opportunities

on these multicultural districts.

Gratitude

In October, the District NMI Council elected me to serve out the remainder of Bruce McKellips’ term upon his return to the mission field and

acceptance of an assignment to the Eurasia Field. I am humbled by the vote of confidence placed in me. I have served to the best of my abilities and

have received encouragement and tremendous support from the entire district family for which I am deeply grateful.

I thank my wife and girls for their loving support. I thank the District NMI Council for its unwavering support: Madeira Bowell, Curt Lunsford,

Donna Otto, Heather Otto and Barb Sage. I thank the Executive Council: Marilyn LaRue, who is the best VP in our denomination; Cheryl Gosnell,

who constantly challenges us to dream big and who first had the crazy, wonderful idea to partner with NYI for last night’s “Collide” service; and Vern

Frase, who has faithfully been a humble and wise steward of NMI funds. I thank NYI Co-Presidents, Matt Dennis and Krisi Ruth, for their excitement

and passion to work in unity. I thank SDMI Chairman, Matt Rundio, for sharing with me his desire to see our district be “one church.” I thank the Sun

City Church, Hank and Janeece Senseman, Victor Shorb and Pastor Tharon and Barbara Daniels; and from CrossRoads Church, Maynard and

Barbara Amstutz and Mercy Project Pastor, Chad Johnson, for their vision to plant a church in Rocky Point. I thank our District Superintendent, Doug

Pierce, who shares his heart for our district ministry departments to work together, inspiring us to reach the next generation for Christ’s mission.

Finally, I thank Pastor Kendall Franklin and the CrossRoads staff for hosting our convention so graciously and with servant hearts, and especially,

Heidi Hawes, who has been such a tremendous help.

Challenge

I have shared five strategies with the council to strengthen our District NMI:

1) Enhance our current council structure to revolve around the four core values of NMI to pray, disciple, give and educate;

2) Pray for missions’ projects and Work & Witness teams in our local churches;

3) Communicate the missions successes of our local churches;

4) Promote intentional outreach to children and youth; and

5) Cooperate with NYI and SDMI to promote the mission of Christ.

Our goal as a District NMI Council is to align our missions efforts upon the four core values of NMI: Praying, Discipling, Giving and

Educating. Our focus is on seeking God’s face through prayer and discipling youth to have a passion for missions. We encourage each Pastor and

NMI President to seek ways to “Collide” with our youth in missions this year. God has given us a gift, to celebrate our denomination’s 100th

Anniversary of NMI by building a church in Rocky Point! We pray you will be part of this dream come true through praying, discipling, giving and

educating about the needs of our brothers and sisters at Nueva Esperanza (New Hope) Iglesia del Nazareno in Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point),

Mexico. We are not only building a church, we are building a holiness legacy to impact the generations to come!

“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.” Let us pray fervently for the lost. Let us disciple our young people to

Christlike holiness. Let us give generously to our local compassionate ministries, give generously to our multicultural brothers and sisters on the

Southwest Latin American and Southwest Native American Districts, and give generously to our global brothers and sisters. And finally, let us

educate our churches so we may see the Lord’s harvest field. Let us go and make Christlike disciples in the nations!

Respectfully submitted,

Rev. Paul Martinez, Arizona District NMI President

4. District NYI President

Greetings to the AZ District NYI, Superintendent Doug Pierce and our District Convention,

AZ NYI is a tremendous place for a youth to grow-up. The Kingdom of God is active and current and there are so many faithful servants of

Jesus Christ in our adult leadership around the District who are working within His Kingdom. These leaders are providing the places and spaces for

Christian discipleship to happen. Every time the local churches gather together for District NYI events we see how much Jesus is doing and we

celebrate that together. AZ NYI has an incredible group of teens to work with!

This year our NYI Council was co-chaired by Rev. Matt Dennis and Rev. Krisi Ruth. The co-chair model provided dual leadership while

allowing each one to focus within their individual strengths. This dual leadership was one reflection of the AZ NYI “Unity” focus for 2013/2014. A

Biblical concept of unity in Christ Jesus found in Ephesians 2:19-22 has been our NYI emphasis.

“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built

on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to

become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”

As each local church is experiencing the transformative power of Christ we understand this transformative power to be the connective

tissue of our District ministry. We truly are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives.

Many thanks are extended to each of the AZ NYI Council members who do not labor in vain. Thank you to our Executive Council: Nate

Snider as our Vice President who provides great encouragement and insight to discussions while juggling a rough travel schedule, Elisa Martinez

who tirelessly and efficiently composes and executes our communications, and Chip McNeiece who willingly clears off a desk only to re-stack it with

NYI financial paperwork - cheerfully explaining it to Krisi. We are so grateful for our NMI Liaison Cheryl Gosnell and our Adult representative Tony

Brown who made great efforts to be at meetings and who participate in discussions. Thank you also to our student representatives who were willing

to serve on the council: Annie Cherryholmes, Brianna Martinez and Mackenzie Owens.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Thank you Joni Dennis for coordinating the AZ District at Elev8. Your early mornings and late nights allowed for close to 400 AZ students to

experience the “Treasure” of Jesus at this event.

Thank you T. Jay Gosnell for orchestrating our Summer Camps where over 400 students were encouraged to live within a “Reckless Faith”.

Thank you Dave Charlton and Trevor Cartwright for exposing the “imposter” at Camp Meeting, showing 100 students their real identity in

Jesus.

Thank you Andy McClure for helping Matt Dennis lead our students in healthy athletic competition and community service projects at

Uproar. Close to 200 students encountered Jesus and the message of His love at this event.

Thank you Chris Miller and Flagstaff Nazarene for helping Krisi Ruth provide a needed reintroduction of the Youth Pastor’s Retreat. 22

Youth Leaders were renewed and given an opportunity to connect with one another for ministry encouragement and fellowship.

Respectfully submitted,

Matthew W. Dennis and Kriscinda “Krisi” Ruth, Co-NYI Presidents

C. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES

1. Finance Committee

We, your District Finance Committee, submit the following report. We recommend: 1. That all treasurers of district funds have their books audited annually by a qualified auditor to the District Assembly. 2. That the District Advisory Board be authorized to administer the District Operation Fund, the Church Extension Fund, and the District Center

Fund. 3. That the District Advisory Board, in consultation with the NMI president, NYI president, and Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries

chairman, set the amount allocated for travel and per diem allowance for General Convention and Assembly delegates. 4. We recommend that the churches of the Arizona District adopt the denominational goals for funding the global mission of the Church of the

Nazarene. These goals are expressed as percentages of current charitable contributions received minus what has been paid for the World Evangelism Fund and approved mission specials. The goals are: 5.5% for World Evangelism Fund (WEF), 2.25% for Education Fund (ED), and 2.25% for Pensions and Benefits (P&B).

Furthermore, we recommend that the churches support the ministries and activities of the District through the District Unified Budget (DIST) with a goal of 3% of the income as defined for the denomination.

Page 48: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

In harmony with the Duties of the Treasurer (136.2) and the Administrative Duties of the Pastor (515.9) as described in the Manual, we recommend that on a monthly basis the Church Treasurer remit the World Evangelism Fund and Pensions and Benefits, along with all other funds raised for the global mission to the Global Treasurer. The internet site “Funding the Mission”, www.fundingthemission.org, is the appropriate tool for doing this.

The funds for District support and the Education Fund (for Point Loma Nazarene University) should be submitted monthly to the District Treasurer, Arizona Nazarene District Office, 3180 N. Alma School Rd Ste 2, Chandler, AZ 85224.

This action will continue our experience with setting these goals based on the current year giving. As with the tithe in personal finance, these goals are more easily met through regular giving.

It is difficult to show exactly the implications of this for each church. However, the following is a comparison for a 10% missions giving church.

Previously, 10% of all income was sent to the district treasurer. These funds were then distributed as follows: 3.9% World Evangelism Fund, 1.6% Education Fund, 2.25 Pensions and Benefits Fund and 2.25 District Operations Fund.

TABLE 1

Previous Goals Based On $100 Income

Income/Base Fund % Goal

100 WEF 3.90% 3.90

ED 1.60% 1.60

P&B 2.25% 2.25

DIST 2.25% 2.25

TOTAL 10.00

Remember that previously each church was also encouraged to add another 3% to this goal to meet the denominational expectation. With the new goals, funds paid to World Evangelism Fund and missions specials are deducted from the income.

Table 2

New Goals For A 10% Missions Church Based on $100 Income

Income 10% Missions Base Fund % Goal

100 10 90 WEF 5.50% 4.95

ED 2.25% 2.03

P&B 2.25% 2.03

DIST 3.00% 2.70

TOTAL 11.70

Notice that by using the denominational system, churches do not have to make additional payments to achieve the denominational

goals as before. Please remember that these recommendations are for calculating the relevant goals. Each local church can then determine the

method which best works to meet these goals. Faith Promise, Easter/Thanksgiving Offerings, and/or a percentage of each contribution—these are just examples of methods which can be implemented.

With the tools available at “Funding the Mission”, the information available and the flexible implementation, we anticipate that after the transition churches will find this to be an easy method to support the ministries and activities of the District, Point Loma Nazarene University, the mission of the global denomination, and retired ministers.

See the District Treasurer or District Bookkeeper if you need help using this system or with “Funding the Mission”. There is training and assistance available on the district.

5. That the District Treasurer reimburse District board and committee members forty cents (.40) per mile or airfare, whichever is less, for district meetings (excluding NYI, NMI, and SDMI which will take care of their own expenses).

6. That the Nazarene Theological Seminary offering be received on or near the designated Sunday and mailed to Nazarene Theological Seminary, 1700 E. Meyer Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64131.

7. That the Nazarene Bible College offering be received on or near the designated Sunday and mailed to Nazarene Bible College, Box 4746, Knob Hill Station, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.

8. That the American Bible Society offering be received on or near the designated Sunday and mailed to the General Treasurer, Church of the Nazarene, 17001 Prairie Star Parkway, Lenexa, KS 66220.

9. That the District continue to give full support to the PLNU grant-in-aid program for Nazarene young people from our District as follows: a. General Grant---that an amount of $2,600 (for students who were new or readmitted after the spring 2003 semester) or $2,200 (all other

students) shall be allocated from the District Educational Budget for each eligible, full-time, undergraduate Nazarene student attending PLNU.

b. Matching Grants---that we encourage our local churches to participate in the PLNU matching grant program in which the church contributes up to a maximum of $250 per student per year and the college, in turn, matches that amount, making a total of $500.

10. That the approval of the District Superintendent for hiring and retaining of local church staff may be granted upon demonstration that all assigned budgets (Shares for Others) be paid in full yearly. If these are not paid in full, then a request may be made in writing for review by

Page 49: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

49

the District Superintendent and the District Advisory Board for exceptions in special cases (Manual, 161 and 161.1). The review will take place no later than the first Advisory Board meeting following District Assembly.

We further recommend the following in regard to pastoral care:

I. Finances Pastoral care is a biblical concept and practice that is assigned to "men and women full of the Spirit and wisdom" that cannot be considered lightly by your elected church boards. Realizing that staffing and financing resources of the churches can vary, we urge the appropriate committee to study and recommend action at least annually in each of the following areas. (Churches receiving District support must comply with existing district policy regarding local church finance.)

A. Salaries 1. Each church, where appropriate and possible, should endeavor to employ its pastor on a full-time basis. 2. The pastor's and paid assistants' salaries are to be carefully reviewed semiannually as a minimum. It should be recognized that a salary

increase would not be an actual increase unless it is above the current cost-of-living index. When a pastor leads a church in growth that is reflected in increased finances, let this be a factor in determining the amount of increase in his or her salary and benefits.

3. A study should be made of the compensation of pastors and associates to determine means of limiting tax liability. Professional assistance is available through the Department of Pensions and Benefits on DVD and available through the district office. We recommend that local churches seek assistance relating to tax laws and their impact on the tax liability of pastors and associates.

B. Housing 1. Churches should permit a pastor the option of purchasing his or her own home. At the same time, churches must recognize the long-

term value of retaining a church-owned parsonage. 2. When a pastor or associate purchases his or her own home, a housing allowance should be established commensurate with current

housing and utility costs. 3. If a parsonage is owned by the local church, the appropriate committee or board should be aware of and responsible for needed repairs,

maintenance, and improvements (Manual, 143.2). C. Insurance

1. The health insurance for the pastor and associates should be cared for by the local church. Premiums for medical insurance benefits are to be paid by the local church. Investigation into and provision of dental and vision care should also be made by the local church. Consideration of costs for prescription drugs should also be given the pastor and associates.

2. Consideration should be given to provide the supplemental life insurance and the long-term disability insurance for the pastor and associates, which is offered by the General Church.

D. Local Church Expense 1. The church should reimburse the pastor's car expense, continually considering the increase in church-related auto costs. Consideration

should be given to operating costs, maintenance, depreciation, insurance, and registration. Because of tax benefits, some churches provide a car for their pastor. (This option is recommended by the Department of Pensions and Benefits as the "best" method under most circumstances.)

2. Each church should make provisions for a comfortable and well-equipped office for its pastors. This provision should include supplies, postage, telephone, and secretarial help when needed.

3. Recognition that entertainment is a local church expense, consideration should be given to establishing an expense account to reimburse pastors for expenses incurred in carrying out professional responsibilities.

E. Retirement Benefits 1. The church should reimburse the pastor the full amount of Social Security tax based on the total of his or her salary and housing

allowance or parsonage rental value (where possible, including utilities). 2. Since the denominational pension offers only minimal benefits, we strongly recommend that the local church consider establishing a

retirement plan for the pastors through the tax-sheltered annuity programs offered by the general church or other such programs. 3. We urge each local church to pay their Pensions and Benefits budget in full.

II. Well-being A. Physical

1. The pastor should be given an annual paid vacation. As a minimum guideline, we suggest the following schedule for total years of full-time

service, not just the tenure of service at the current assignment.

0-4 years---2 weeks (14 days, including 2 Sundays)

5-14 years---3 weeks (21 days, including 3 Sundays)

15-19 years---4 weeks (28 days, including 4 Sundays)

20 years and over---5 weeks (35 days, including 5 Sundays)

2. The pastor is urged to take at least one day per week for relaxation and refreshment of the mind, soul and body. Since this is not always

possible, we recommend compensating for days off be given and that the local church insist on days off. For the sake of his or her family, we

encourage the pastor to insist on the time off.

B. Spiritual

1. Realizing that pastors face stress, pressures and exhaustion, consideration should be given to granting extended time away for rest, renewal,

prayer and spiritual growth, in addition to vacation.

Every church board is encouraged to establish a pastoral sabbatical policy (Manual, 129.10). The pastor should have completed a

reasonable period of service in the current assignment. For those with less tenure, consideration may be given to granting extra days away for

rest, renewal, and study. We urge that members of the local church encourage and uphold their pastor and parsonage families in prayer. We

encourage local churches to provide finances for pastor and family to get time off to get away.

C. Educational

Page 50: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

50

1. That each church encourage all of its pastoral staff to enrich their ministry at the local church by providing funds and time for continuing

education. This may include ministerial conventions, seminars, directed studies, and special college and seminary courses. This provision

may also include the purchase of professional development materials (books and periodical allowances) and the payment of professional

dues.

2. That each church consider granting occasional Sundays for the pastor to visit other churches and gain insight for worship and programs for

his ministry.

3. That each local church provide the needed finances to send the pastor and/or spouse to special events, such as District Retreat, District

Assembly and other conferences planned by the International Church of the Nazarene. The amount budgeted should include the total

registration fee plus all expenses (transportation, lodging and meals).

D. Inspirational

1. That each local church assist their pastor in attending District Assemblies and Conventions.

2. That each local church assist their pastor in attending General Assemblies and Conventions, by the establishment of a reserve fund for this

purpose.

3. That each local church assist their pastor in attending the District Camp Meeting.

4. The local churches are also encouraged to consider assisting a home mission pastor, evangelist, missionary, or retired pastor in attending

such functions.

III. Family A. Special Recognition

Each church is encouraged to recognize all members of the parsonage families at appropriate times of the year: birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc. Special attempts should be made to show appreciation and express love to the pastors and families at all times.

B. Retired Personnel Our churches should remember retired ministers, missionaries and evangelists, with special, appropriate acts of love, kindness and

prayer. IV. Evangelists

We recommend that the evangelist's remuneration be an amount equal to twice the pastor's cash salary for the number of Sundays the evangelist is to serve. That consideration be given to the reimbursement of travel, health insurance, Social Security tax, and a housing allowance, according to the evangelist's wishes, and that the amount of the remuneration be communicated with the evangelist before the services. That each evangelist called by a local church be remembered at Christmas with a cash gift.

V. Borrowing/Indebtedness We recommend that the District Property Committee and the District Advisory Board shall limit the amount(s) to be borrowed by any

local church by the following formula: Not to exceed three times the amount of funds raised based upon an average of the last three years, and that this will include all indebtedness of the local church.

VI. The Reading of This Report We recommend that this report be studied by every local church board and implemented by the church board at the beginning of the

church year.

2. Auditing

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Advisory Board of the Arizona District Church of the Nazarene (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2014, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management is responsible for the preparations and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors; judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. But not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Page 52: NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL ASSEMBLY JOURNAL OF THE …58. 5/24-25/1979 Phoenix Biltmore K. Dwight Southworth Eugene L. Stowe C. T. Vanderpool Paul W. MacLearn 59. 5/29-30/1980 Phoenix Biltmore

52

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Advisory Board of the Arizona District Church of the Nazarene as of March 31, 2014, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

V. Minutes of Conventions

A. NMI CONVENTION

Thursday, May 29, 2014

Prayer coverage for the Arizona District NMI Convention began at 5:30 p.m. in the Prayer Room at CrossRoads Church of the Nazarene

and was led by Pastor Curt Lunsford (Tucson New Life). The 88th Arizona District NMI Convention featured a combined NYI and NMI service known

as COLLIDE at 6:30 p.m. This service is a “collision” between NMI and NYI to call the next generation to Christ and to missions. The theme of this

year’s opening service is “Youth & Missions Looking Up”. The desire of the Arizona District NMI is to partner together with NYI and SDMI to make

Christlike disciples in the nations and on the Arizona District.

Pastor Krisi Ruth (Peoria), District NYI Co-President, welcomes everyone in attendance and presents a COLLIDE t-shirt to our District

Superintendent, Rev. Doug Pierce, in appreciation for his leadership. Announcements are given regarding child care, registration for NMI delegates

on Friday morning, and tickets for the NMI Presidents’ Luncheon on Friday afternoon.

Pastor Matt Rundio (Scottsdale First), SDMI Chairman, offers the opening prayer of invocation to dedicate the events of the evening to our

Lord.

Following a video presentation in which NYI Co-Presidents, Pastor Matt Dennis (Turning Leaf) and Pastor Krisi Ruth, and NMI President,

Pastor Paul Martinez (Citrus Road), present their vision for the evening’s service, the Arizona District Impact Choir takes the platform. The Impact

Choir presents two specials in song, a video presentation on its annual mission trip to Hermosillo, Mexico, featuring Carissa Hammons, from

Flagstaff Church of the Nazarene, and a spoken word poem composed and presented by Jeri Ryan, from Tucson, AZ.

Junior High student, Jacob Patch (Turning Leaf), interviews our guest missionary on the following questions: 1) What are some of the

biggest obstacles in serving cross culturally and how have you overcome those obstacles to be salt and light? 2) What do you feel are your greatest

challenges since God called you to be a missionary? 3) What is the weirdest food you have eaten on the mission field?

A video greeting from Pastor Kurtis Strunk, former District NYI President, now serving with his family as missionaries with Extreme

Nazarene in Ecuador, is presented to the congregation. Kurtis shares from his heart regarding the two-fold burden of responsibility held by the

District NYI President – the need to be a pastor to the youth pastors/leaders on the district and the need to plan great events to evangelize and

disciple the youth on our district.

District NYI Co-Presidents, Pastor Matt Dennis and Pastor Krisi Ruth, present their joint report to the congregation in which they explain

the organizational structure under which the NYI Council has functioned this past year, acknowledge the NYI Council both outgoing and incoming,

and give a brief summary of the year’s events. Pastor Krisi serves as a pastor to the youth pastors/leaders with the purpose of coming along side

these leaders to equip, serve, and unite our local churches in connection with Christ, while Pastor Matt serves the youth pastors/leaders on the

district and their local youth ministries by providing events designed to evangelize and disciple the youth on our district.

District NMI President, Pastor Paul Martinez, presents the congregation with the opportunity to give an offering to the Lord and offertory

music is presented by Josh Griffin. Following the offering, Josh Griffin leads the congregation in several worship songs.

District NMI Secretary, Pastor Cheryl Gosnell (Northgate), presents a Distinguished Service Award to Pastor Krisi Ruth (Peoria), in honor

of her many years of faithful service and tireless devotion to the Arizona District.

The Impact Choir takes the platform once again to lead the congregation in a song of dedication, “Instrument for Noble Purpose,” in

preparation for a time of prayer for all those involved in mission trips. The prayer time is conducted in waves; the first wave being those who will

minister for the first time on a work & witness team this coming year, the second wave being all those who have already gone on at least one mission

trip and are going again this year, and the final outer wave being those who are not able to go on a mission trip but commit to praying for those going

on a trip this year.

Following a video presentation of testimonies from various members of the Arizona District on mission trip experiences and the meaning

and impact that missions, in general, has had on each of their lives, the service concludes for the evening.

Friday, May 30, 2014

Registration for NMI delegates began at 7:15 a.m. on Friday morning with Marilyn LaRue (Turning Leaf), Elisa Martinez (Citrus Road),

Madeira Bowell (Renovation), and Heather Otto (Tempe) assisting with registration, handing out NMI presidents’ packets, signing up NMI Presidents

for the luncheon, and answering questions. NMI Secretary, Cheryl Gosnell (Northgate), assisted the local NMI presidents in filling out reports for

those churches who did not previously submit a report. Chris Miller collected Crisis Care Kits in a designated area outside the building.

At 8:00 a.m., NMI President, Pastor Paul Martinez (Citrus Road), welcomes everyone to the Friday morning session of the 88th Arizona

NMI Convention and opens in prayer.

Pastor Jeff Fillis (Turning Leaf) and a group of members from his church lead the congregation in a time of worship which included singing

“All Hail the Power” and “Mighty to Save.”

At 8:30 a.m., Pastor Curt Lunsford (Tucson New Life) and Madeira Bowell (Renovation) lead the convention in a time of prayer for Rev.

Bruce and Cinda McKellips, serving in the Eurasia Field, and for LINKS missionaries, Phil & Denise Anderson, serving in the Africa Field,

respectively.

Following the prayer time for missionaries, District NMI Vice President, Marilyn LaRue, conducts the NPH presentation and gives

VI. Financial and Statistical

DISTRICT TREASURER

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your time and financial investment to further God’s kingdom on this district. I would

also like to thank the District Advisory Board for their willingness to engage in the tough conversations that are needed in these changing and

challenging times. It is through these conversations that sound decisions can be made to secure our stewardship and progress to a better future.

The Financial statements have been reviewed by Henry and Horne, Certified Public Accountants. Their report will be available for your

review at the District Office.

The following represents a summary of the reviewed financial information as of March 31

st, 2014:

The total annual income for the 61 churches on the Arizona District is $16,225,640 compared with $15,958,451, the prior year.

We received the following payments on the “Tithe, Plus Offerings” method of giving for others: District Unified Budget $ 370,633 Prior Year $ 359,309 Education Budget $ 281,010 Prior Year $ 277,806 World Evangelism Fund $ 731,149 Prior Year $ 837,758 Pensions Fund $ 337,838 Prior Year $ 315,779 Total $ 1,720,630 Prior Year $ 1,790,652

Note: $675,203 was given for approved mission projects, in addition to our giving to the World Evangelism Fund. Our total giving for

missions is $1,406,352 which is a decrease of $45,643 from the prior year.

The District Operations Fund had a loss of $51,453, after depreciation, compared to a loss of $27,490 last year. Income was down $15,000 from last year and expenses were up by $9,000. Most of the increase was due to increased General Assembly expense.

The Church Extension Fund had a loss of $274,745, after depreciation, compared to a gain of $95,889 last year. A majority of the difference is due to the timing of Renovation’s church reorganization. We took in the contributions last year which were accounted for as restricted contribution income while this year once organized; we expensed as restricted distributions what was owed to the Renovation Church. Recognizing a paper loss on donated property for the church at Bullhead City, AZ represented $29,000 of the Church Extension Fund loss.

The District Center Fund (Camp Pinerock) had a loss of $28,229, after depreciation, compared with a loss of $23,907 last year. The increase in operating revenue of $113k from last year was offset by an increase in operating expense of $136k. The investment in food service and staffing are the main source of the increased expense and the main reason for this is to improve the overall quality of the camping experience which will translate into increased bookings and thus increases in revenue. They have also been working hard in making building and facility improvements, so if you haven’t been up to the camp lately, it is worth the trip.

Combined revenues for the District totaled $2,059,804 compared with $1,700,872 last year. Combined expenses totaled $2,414,230 compared with $1,656,381 last year. This results in a net loss of $354,426, including depreciation, compared to a gain of 44,491 last year. Combined assets totaled $4,300,022 and combined liabilities totaled $974,440 resulting in a net equity of $3,325,581. A consolidated income statement and balance sheet are attached for your review.

I would like to express my appreciation to our pastors and churches for your faithful support of our denominational ministries. I would also

like to thank all the people that make up the district office team including Brenda Mastin, Charlotte Schuster, Trish Stoffan, and Tina Anderson who

has helped with our transition to QuickBooks.

Sincerely submitted, Bill Kells, District Treasurer
