Flags of the Nations: Argentina
Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: Argentina
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Argentina in 1909.
Argentina had a population of 44,293,293 in 2017. That same year, Argentina reported 253 Churches of the Nazarene, 248 of which had been officially organized. Argentina has 18,011 total members.
Located on the South America Region, Argentina has two Phase 3 districts, five Phase 2 districts, and five Phase 1 districts. For more information about the South America Region, visit samnaz.org.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.
The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
