Flags of the Nations: France

Global Ministry Center

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: France

The Church of the Nazarene officially entered France in 1977.

France had a population of 65,951,611 in 2013. That same year, France reported eight Churches of the Nazarene, six of which were officially organized. France has 304 total members.

France is a Phase 1 district on the Eurasia Region. For more information about the Eurasia Region, click here.
