Description / Abstract
In the earliest beginnings of the Wesleyan-holiness movement from the 1890’s to 1908, founders of the Church of the Nazarene launched 14 schools of different levels to prepare leaders. Their passion revealed a deep commitment to education as an integral part of the original mission of the church. What began primarily as the work of the individuals or local congregations before the denomination formed, developed broader support and influence among the associations of the church. Later, districts and educational regions were formed to strengthen their efforts. The Nazarene system of education, with 56 educational institutions and over 40,000 students on campus and in distance learning, has become an example of the Gestalt theory, demonstrating that through collaboration, partnering, and networking, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
