The SPICE Award

Picture
Spice Up Your Church Missions Experience
Conceived and begun here on the Canada Central District over a decade ago, the SPICE award is presented annually at the District NMI Convention, to churches who have met certain qualifications.

The purpose and heart of the Canada Central District SPICE ‘award’ is to encourage local Nazarene congregations to an ever-increasing awareness and participation in missions. It is the prayer of the District NMI Council that the ‘award’ will be sought and received by our local churches in this same spirit of growth.

To the above end, the SPICE ‘award’ takes into account a definitive list of Nazarene mission endeavours grouped into five categories: 
Stewardship
Prayer
Involvement
Compassion
Education
In each church year, the District NMI Council will recognize recipients of the ‘award’ at three levels:
  •   BRONZE
  • SILVER
  • GOLD
  • new, consistent missions initiative begun in 3 of the 5 categories
  • new, consistent missions initiative begun in 4 of the 5 categories
  • new, consistent missions initiative begun in all 5 categories
The SPICE Award "application form"​ provides lots of ideas and areas ​for missions initiatives in each of the categories. Have a look! Your church may already qualify! Or, perhaps the lists will provide you with ideas on how to get started and encourage your church with a heightened awareness and participation in missions.
