For local churches

Church policies

Templates and guidance to help local Nazarene churches put the policies and procedures they need in place.

District policy templates

The district provides a collection of policy templates for local churches to use. They are designed as a starting point, so please review them and adapt them to your local setting and to the law that applies where your church is. The district cannot guarantee that a template will suit every setting.

Open the policy templates

The templates are kept in a shared Google Drive folder, which opens in a new tab.

Leadership development
