July 27-28, 2021 A joint District Assembly, NMI and SDMI Convention event, called “CELEBRATE! 2021”is planned for July 27 & 28 starting at 1:15PM on Tuesday (Check-In starts at 11AM) and ending at 4:30PM on the 28th. This unified event includes District Assembly, NMI and SDMI business and inspiration. CELEBRATE! 2021 will be held at the Virginia Nazarene Retreat Center (VNRC) in beautiful Buckingham, VA. All pastors, associates, elected delegates are members of this gathering and invited (expected) to participate. Starting at 1:15PM on Tuesday, July 27 (Check-In starts at 11AM), we will have the business of the SDMI Convention, the NMI Convention and the District Assembly in four sessions (2 on Tuesday, 2 on Wednesday, including the Ordination Service which will be on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30PM). When first drafted plans were made for District Assembly we thought that the use of the DAC might be helpful, but we have always preferred that the delegation conduct all the business, including: inspiration, education, networking, ordination and balloting/elections. Thankfully, the pandemic restrictions have been lifted and we are able to meet in a manner more closely to “normal”. The capacity of the Keys Tabernacle seating is approximately 800. There are no seating capacity or social distancing limitations currently in place. We Hope To See You at the 2021 District Assembly! Do you still have questions?

Thank you for using FundingtheMission.org. It is the most economical way for your church to give. We thought we would share some of our commonly asked questions. When I log in, why does FundingtheMission.org not show my name? Possibly, you are using someone else’s login information. You can request your own login through your district office. You can also request a user be deleted from FundingtheMission.org through your district office. How do I make sure my church gifts post to the correct assembly year? When you confirm your gift, before it is submitted, make sure the correct assembly year is selected. When logging in to Fundingthemission.org, the default setting will be the current assembly year. Why is my education giving not showing on FundingtheMission.org? Each district choses to track educational giving differently. Please contact your district office for more information. How do I print a remittance form? While electronic giving is the most economical way to give, you may occasionally need to send a gift through the mail. You can download a remittance form on the contribution page. Click the green “Make a Contribution” link and then click the “Mail form to the GTS” link to download the form.
