57 Courses There are seven general courses administered by the Ministerial Studies Board; elders, deacon of administration, deacon of compassionate ministries, deacon of Christian education, deacon of music, deacon of youth, and lay minister (Handbook of Ministerial Studies). Ministers, deacons and deaconesses will not be ordained without having completed their respective courses. An exception to this is provided for all commissioned song evangelists who held this status immediately prior to the 1986 assembly season. Those becoming commissioned song evangelists will complete the deacon track in music ministries. Those interested in commissioned or registered song evangelists credentials should study carefully all requirements as listed in Sourcebook on Ordination, Manual Modes of Study The options for the course of study are listed below (by preference) as recommended and approved by the Illinois District Ministerial Studies Board. 1. A Nazarene university pursuing a degree in a religious major approved/ validated by Nazarene Clergy Services. 2. Nazarene Theological Seminary. 3. Nazarene Bible College: Pursuing a degree in a religious major approved/validated by Nazarene Clergy Services. 4. Northwest Nazarene University: Online COS Modular Course of Study. 5.

REGULATIONS FOR MINISTERIAL COURSE OF STUDY 1. It is no longer necessary for students to purchase the Sourcebook for Ministerial Development. This information and more can now be found on the Clergy Education website ( 2. Each student is encouraged to take four courses each year. The general church requires 2 courses per year to be passed to allow a student to continue. However, To qualify for ordination, candidates must achieve graduation from a validated course of study within 10 years from the granting of the first district license (Manual 530.4). At 2 per year, the student will not succeed. Thus, the Illinois District has chosen to encourage students to complete 4 courses per year. All course work must be completed by the end of the assembly year (April) in order for the student to receive credit for that assembly year. The only exception is for those students enrolled in an institution of higher learning in which the class may not conclude until the board meets in May. 3. A student is placed in a study level based on the number of courses completed regardless of the level of the courses. 4. For the student to be considered academically eligible for a district license the student must follow the following criteria: 56

58 When members of the Church of the Nazarene acknowledge a call to a lifetime of ministry, they may be licensed as ministers by the district assembly provided they:.. (2) have completed one-fourth of a validated course of study for ministers, or have passed the Nazarene history and polity courses and five additional courses in a validated course of study for ministers; (6) have promised to pursue immediately a validated course of study prescribed for licensed ministers and candidates for ordination If enrolled in a Nazarene college/university or seminary, the minister must have completed one-fourth of a validated college/university or college/university-seminary course of study for ministry, or have completed one-fourth of a validated district or regional training center curriculum. Exceptions to this requirement may be made by the District Ministerial Credentials Board provided the candidate is pastoring an organized church and is registered in a system of approved studies, and provided the candidate annually fulfills the minimum amount of studies required by the Manual for the renewal of a license, and provided the district superintendent approves the exception (Manual 530.1). The student enrolled in the Modular Course of Study is strongly encouraged to complete Nazarene History and Polity before applying for a district license. 5.

59 D. CONTINUING EDUCATION Once a minister has fulfilled the expectations of the educational foundations for ministry, he or she will continue a pattern of lifelong learning to enhance the ministry of which God has called him or her. A minimum expectation is 20 contact hours each year (2 accredited continuing education units (CEU s) (Manual 527.6). In order to facilitate the fulfillment of this requirement, a number of qualified events will be promoted through the district and by other means. An individual may receive CEU s by participating in a qualified event sponsored by the district, the general church, one of our colleges or universities or other approved method. When CEU s are available for a sponsored event, notification of the same will be made at the event and the participants will have the opportunity to sign up for credits. Credits will be based upon the participant attending the entire event and fulfilling other requirements (if applicable) for the event (such as extra reading or writing when appropriate). In all cases, it is the individual participant s responsibility to qualify him/herself for CEU credits. The Board of Ministerial Studies appoints a continuing education director who shall be responsible to facilitate CEU qualified events and to resource individuals in obtaining CEU credits for events attended. Individuals may also contact the Department of Clergy Development directly with questions or for qualifying and awarding CEU credits for courses taken. All determination of CEU qualifications shall be made by the Office of Ministry.

65 Dr. Crocker, Dr. Bowling, Member s and Friends of the 2016 Illinois District Assembly, I bring you my second report as Superintendent of this amazing district. Dr. Crocker, we welcome you and Rachel and want you to know how we appreciate your missional leadership and friendship, as together we take the love, presence and power of Jesus Christ to a very confused and needy world. When the Church of the Nazarene rescued Lezlie and me, I was discipled by some radical Nazarene s and taught to simply believe the truth found in the Word of God. Since then I have seen God lead our lives on the most amazing journey through victories and mountains, and some valleys and trials. Through it all we have experienced answers to prayer, supernatural miracles, and have seen thousands of lives transformed. Jesus Christ changed everything for me and my house, and I have seen enough of His mercy, grace, and power that nobody can talk me out of our God and His Word. In fact, God has proven His Words to me through the Apostle Paul, when he says, Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen (Ephesians 3: 20 21). I have enough proof of the reality of this scripture to believe our District Churches can accomplish anything that they can dream or imagine. LOOKING BACK ON THE DREAM Last year we set our Vision 2020 projections to celebrate at the 2020 District Assembly, four years from now. These are your projections as the Holy Spirit spoke through you in what He wants to accomplish through our churches. We project a morning worship attendance of 13,613, SDMI attendance of 9,393, 1000 Leaders trained, and at least 79 new works or new churches started. Through Dynamic Church Planting International (DCPI) training for planting and revitalizing churches, plus Team Day, The Story, Compassionate Ministries and several other training events, we have trained at least 317 leaders this past year. We had a slight decline in Morning Worship. We must turn that around this year. But, we had a gain in SDMI, a gain in membership, and a gain in New Nazarene s, and a gain in Discipleship enrollment. Considering what is going on in our culture, and people moving out of Illinois, these gains are very significant and evidence of a beginning of what God is doing on our great district. The leaders trained, plus other victories God has set us on a path to see a very real movement of God across Illinois if stay the course and step it up this year. These victories include forward movement in these New Works: Jacksonville Granite City Hispanic Mattoon Hispanic Big Muddy Celebrate Recovery Salem Grace Hope House Salem Grace New Beginnings Celebrate Recovery Carbondale Centralia Celebrate Recovery Carbondale Hispanic I need English planters and Mother Churches for Effingham and Mattoon On March 13, we organized the Effingham Hispanic Church of the Nazarene with Pastor David Samayoa. On April 10, we officially organized the Lighthouse Church of the Nazarene in Urbana with Pastor Wayne Clevenger. Both of these churches continue to reach into the lives of unchurched people as they bless their communities with the love, presence and power of Jesus Christ. Eleven of our existing churches got new pastors this past year and are helping these congregations fulfill the dream Jesus has for His Bride. LIVING THE DREAM IN We have strategy that we are working on to help us accomplish the Vision 2020, realizing that this year we need to step up some things. 1. Mobilization of The Leadership Team: I have been blessed with a great District Staff that has a passion for this amazing district and the Vision 2020 God has given us. I want to extend my appreciation to Pastor Mark Copley who has 64

66 worked with us in getting a great start in planting churches and training leaders. He has planned all of our DCPI training events and the Team Day. Mark has resigned his position to become a full time associate at Salem Grace. We will be putting time and thought into next steps as we seek God s direction in filling this position. Rev. Doug Haynes is an amazing Administrative Assistant. He helps me stay focused and is our detail leader. Our gift mix complements each other to the point that I m convinced God has brought us together in these roles to accomplish God things that are beyond us. And we are blessed to have Rev. David Samayoa as our Hispanic Coordinator. He is one of the hardest working people I ve ever known. If you have Hispanics in your community, he already knows about them. He will help us plant a Hispanic Congregation in any community on our District. In order for us to work together more effectively to accomplish our 2020 Vision, we have purchased a new home in Bethalto, Illinois, that also has an office complex in which we can work together. We determined this is a good time to get the District Parsonage and Office more central, connected to an interstate highway system that leads to all points of our district. Your staff will be working in the same office each week, which will allow us to be more productive and focused. 2. Church Revitalization: We will continue Revitalizing existing churches with training and development of Local Church Action Plans. Many leaders have gone through the DCPI, Dynamic Church training and are working on their action plan. We are working on getting each of these Pastors and Churches in an Action Plan Data base to provide encouragement and follow up in our plan development. I also would like to bring encouragement and accountability for these action plans through our zone meetings. 3. Starting New Churches: I need some more wins this year in starting new churches. We have trained planters and leaders of Mother Churches. I do not want to start any church without a Mother to give birth and nurture the new baby church. We will come along side and become a loving relative to the mother and baby church to help us get a movement started. It costs less than you think, and brings life and energy to the mother church that she could not get elsewhere. This year Pastor Brian Trambley and Carbondale New Beginnings Church along with Pastor Jim Frye and the Murphysboro Church has modeled this with our new Carbondale Hispanic Congregation. They brought in Pastor Moises Lopez to lead this exciting new congregation. Two smaller churches have come together to start this new church, proving that any size church can be involved in a church plant. And God has placed another community on Pastor Trambley s heart, so he will be pursuing another church plant this year. So, Decatur First, Salem Grace, Belleville 1 st, Champaign 1 st, Shelbyville, Springfield 1 st, Pittsfield, and others I m praying for you. Actually ANY church can become a partner in a church plant because YOU determine your level of involvement. If God is speaking to any of you about becoming a mother church, please talk to me. No church should live their life without birthing a baby church. Let s get a movement started that will transform thousands of lives. I promise you, we will have a blast. I need your help to get the momentum going. A movement of God is starting! 4. Leadership Development: On June 15 17, I met David Samayoa and ten Hispanic Leaders at Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma for the National Hispanic Conference. This conference provided training and encouragement for our Hispanic ministries across the District. We will continue to start new Hispanic Ministries all across Illinois this year. And listen to this. On August 9 23, we have two work and witness teams COMING TO US from Mexico to help us revitalize our Hispanic congregations and help in Church planting movement. David Samayoa arranged for this group to partner with our Hispanic churches. Last week, June 28 30, I was sent by the General Church Evangelism Department to the Organic Outreach training at the Billy Graham Center for Evangelism at Wheaton College. We will provide training for every church, every size, on a simple, doable, exciting system for effective evangelism 65

67 through our churches. On July 14 16, Russ and Debbie Brewer will be attending the Global Compassion Conference at Olivet Nazarene University with the intention of helping us develop a plan to more effectively reach into our communities in East St. Louis area, plus around the district. On July 27 31, Carl and Eva Pinkston, Carean Heyliger, Verna McClendon, Angel Kraemer and I will be attending the National Black Conference in Orlando. We will be putting a plan together with Russ and Debbie to step up our outreach influence in East St. Louis, Belleville, and the surrounding area. This is an area I m very passionate about right now. We need to be making a greater difference in the lives of those God has given us responsibility for in this challenging and desperate part of our District. On August 11 12, Decatur 1 st will be hosting the Global Leadership Summit Simulcast. This is a powerful training event for pastors and leaders. Check their web site for information. On Saturday, September 10, the Roxana Church is hosting Dr. Jess Middendorf for a pastor s training on Incarnational Leadership. See Pastor Earl Gillett for details. And on September 20 22, we will be hosting a DCPI training in Salem for Revitalizing existing churches, training of church planters, and training for mother churches. We have a great lineup of trainers coming, and this event will be promoted across the USA/Canada as we invite others to join us for this exciting training event. I want to encourage all our pastors to be a part of this training. If you haven t taken the Dynamic Church training for church revitalization, you need to be at this event. Every pastor should be working an Action Plan. You may need to take or retake the training for Churches Planting Churches, which is a great training in how to be a mother church. And if God is calling you to be a church planter, Churches Planting Essentials is the training you will need. I believe it is going to be an amazing, momentum producing event. So, we continue to train leaders. We are well on the way to 1000 trained by A movement of God is starting. 5. Extreme Illinois Missionaries: God has given me a radical dream. I need you to pray with me about his. Recently another young college age passionate Nazarene was called by God to be a part of Extreme Nazarene Missions. I ve been to Cali, Colombia and have stayed in the home of one of these missionary couples. They are passionate about reaching people with the love, presence, and power of Jesus Christ. Our new Pastor in Marshall, Jared Bouton has been working with Extreme Nazarene. What if God would call young, middle aged, and seasoned volunteer missionaries to serve on the Illinois District. I have a dream of people called by God, trained by the District in evangelism, missional discipleship, radical hospitality, passionate worship and risk taking mission, who would come along-side a pastor and local church for a period of three, six, or twelve months to help a church revitalize their mission. They would be called, trained, commissioned and sent Disciples making Disciples. Pray about that with me. If God speaks to you about becoming an Illinois Missionary please talk to me. A movement of God is starting. FULFILLING THE DREAM IN Imagine an Illinois Missionary Movement getting started, helping us fulfill our dreams of church revitalization, and helping us plant churches reaching thousands of people all across the part of Illinois God has entrusted to us. I want EVERY Pastor seeing fruit and having a blast in ministry. I want to see EVERY Church enjoying fruit and being a part of a Church Revitalization and Church Planting Movement. Reality check! God has given us big, audacious projections that are beyond us in our VISION You know I believe God, when HE says through Paul, that HE is.able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work within us. Eph. 3: 20. When I was praying about how to lead this year in stepping up our path to achieving the Vision 2020 Projections, God spoke into my heart. I love Illinois. For me right now, this is the greatest place on earth. I love my Pastors all of them. I love working with the amazing laymen, many of you hungry for a real movement of God to take place on this great district. We have trained hundreds of leaders with some really good training that has 66

68 proven itself. God seems to be telling me that HE is ready to unleash His power all over our Illinois churches and across the cities HE is entrusting to us. God has led me to 2 Chronicles 15, and reminded me that with all the great things we have been doing, we need to stop for a moment and make sure that God is in the source of all we do. In this passage we capture the leadership mind and heart of God. Azariah stood up in front of the leaders and said, The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 2 Chronicles 15 : 2. In order to accomplish all our dreams and projections, God must be with us! I sense God is leading me at this moment to take our district into a corporate seeking of HIM, preparing the way for HIM to permeate everything we do in Vision Seeking Him includes a corporate repentance of what I call the Nazarene sins found in Galatians 5 in dealing with the acts of the sinful nature. Those should be exposed and worked through when we are sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit. While Galatians 5 speaks of sexual immorality, debauchery, drunkenness, we seem to have a handle on those sins. However, we do need to talk about the Nazarene sins listed, which may include discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, and factions. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. Vs. 21. Whenever we get division between pastor and leaders, or leaders and congregation that turns into dissention, God will not unleash His power among us. Some of you have dissention going on right now. those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. We may need to corporately ask forgiveness for how we treated a pastor, or Pastors, how we reacted to a situation. We may need to repent of un-forgiveness and broken relationships, or attitudes or division we have caused, or factions that we have helped form. Some need to get Nazarene Acres and the perception of how the sale was handled behind them. In this culture we must pay attention to how we truly love others, but also how we respond to the wages of sin. Anything that will keep God from unleashing HIS power in our lives and our church needs to be repented of. So, I m going to be obedient to what I feel God is telling me. The Scripture says they assembled together and offered their sacrifice. They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul. All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, where to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman. They took an oath to the Lord with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns. All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. THEY SOUGHT GOD EAGERLY, AND HE WAS FOUND BY THEM. 2 Chronicles 15: Today, I want us to make a covenant together to seek God with all our hearts. In a moment I m going to ask the Pastors to take lead and responding in making this covenant. In this covenant we will seek HIM and lead our churches through a time of repentance. Pastor s, I would like you to pray about taking the next three months and leading your church through the seeking formula found in 2 Chronicles 7 : 13 14, When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour that land or send a plague among my people, if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. I am giving every pastor the book by Rhonda Hughey, Desperate for His Presence. My hope is that as we covenant together to seek God with all our hearts, you will see a desperation for God that will empower our churches, and that we can be a transforming influence in our whole communities. To follow up, I have Rhonda Hughey scheduled to come to our District in November 6 8, to lead and encourage us in taking whole communities with the love, presence, and power of Jesus Christ. My hope is that in the next months, people will see God at work on the Illinois District, and we will be known for this one thing. They sought God eagerly, and HE was found by them. So, I invite my pastors to come forward if you will join me in a covenant to seek God with all your heart and soul. (Lead in prayer. Invite the song leaders to lead us in celebration) Respectfully submitted, Jim Kraemer 67

District SDMI Chairman District SDMI Chairman Jim German Dr Crocker, Dr Kraemer, pastors, delegates, families and friends; thank you for your attendance at this combined convention day. This is my fifth and final report as the SDMI chairperson for the Illinois District Church of the Nazarene. Your board and auxiliary members have been hard at work this past year. Immediately following Assembly last year your district Children s director, Debbie Brewer, led another successful children s camp at Lake Williamson with 200 kids in attendance. In September, your Lay Retreat Directors, Dave and Jody Askins, along with their committee, hosted another successful retreat at Camp Warren with our District Superintendent, Dr. Jim Kramer, as the speaker and Brian Arner providing the music for the 89 attendees. In October, 101 Senior Adults attended the Senior Adult/Prime Time Day organized by your District Adult Director, Russell Brewer. Dr Jim Kramer was the speaker and the Clark Family provided the music. On April 2 Lisa Sorenson, your District Women s director, hosted our annual Ladies Day at the Salem Grace Church of the Nazarene. We had 142 in attendance. April 23, 116 men attended the second annual Men of Purpose at the Shelbyville Church of the Nazarene. This event, hosted by your district men s ministry co-directors, Gary Townsend and Bob Turner, featured Mark Bane, Superintendent of the Joplin Missouri District, as speaker and Rev. Bob Wilkerson providing the music. On April 26, 27 and 28 your District SDMI sponsored a 3-day Tell the Story Training at Decatur First Church of the Nazarene. SDMI board member, Marc Abla hosted this event with SDMI Global Director Woody Stevens and his wife Cheryl as instructors. Twenty-three people were trained. I owe a huge thank you to all those who have supported and assisted me over my term of SDMI Chairman. Dr. and Mrs. Kramer have been very supportive from their first day on the district. Rev. Doug Haynes, your district administrative assistant, has been more than helpful in providing me with statistical information as well as giving direction and advice when asked. None of these activities would have happened without the directors and all those who worked with them. I have appreciated the input and direction of the SDMI Board, both the current and past. It has been with their input and approval that all of these activities have taken place. I would not forget my wonderful wife, my gift from the Lord, who has supported and encouraged me in all my endeavors in life including this one. I will be forever indebted to Rev. Gene C. Phillips at Des Moines East Side Church of the 74

76 Nazarene for inviting a smart-alec 13-year-old boy and his family to Sunday School. The Godly people in that congregation welcomed me into, not just the church building, but also into their hearts; loving me and introducing me to Jesus. As my friend Dave Miller stated one day as we were discussing our introduction to the Church of the Nazarene and to Jesus: it changed the trajectory of my life. Any good in me, or that has come from my life, has come from Jesus Christ and His redeeming power. Finally: All glory to Him who alone is God, our savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are His before all time, and in the present and beyond all time! Amen. (Jude 1:25 NLT) Respectfully submitted, Jim German 3. District NMI President District NMI President Sandy Stickler The Illinois District has been busy this year attempting to show God's love and to make Christ-like disciples. We have helped with food pantries, sponsored an adult literacy program, prepared Thanksgiving dinner for our community, packed summer backpack lunches, fixed and bought bicycles, volunteered in shelters and to the homeless as we ministered in our local communities. We have given to Alabaster, prepared Crisis Care Kits, sent teams to other parts of the world to work and witness, prayed and given as we ministered around the world. God has taken our humble efforts and multiplied them as only He can do. Nazarene Missions International (NMI) has four objects and we have endeavored to meet these goals both in local churches and as a district. We wish to express our appreciation to all our people for their work this year. The first objective is prayer. We know this is the backbone of all our ministries. In simplest terms, prayer is speaking with God. In prayer we give our lives up to God and we find comfort in knowing He is always going to be with us. Every church on the Illinois district reports to praying for our missionaries, our church family around the world and for those who do not yet know Christ. Our second objective is discipling. We understand His words as a mandate for believers to form deep friendships through which we help each other grow in Christlikeness. We walk side-by-side along the faith journey, teaching, encouraging, and loving one another. NMI is committed to discipling new generations in their faith. This includes teaching young leaders about Christ's global mission and nurturing their mission passion. This year it was my joy to join boys and girls camp for the day where each child packed a Crisis Care Kit. It was hands on experience as they were helping share God's love to someone we don't even know. They were packed with love and prayed over. We know these kits will be a blessing when a crisis occurs. Giving is the third objective. One essential way to express mission passion is financial support. Nazarene Missions International has designed a bunch of opportunities to support mission workers and meet human needs around the world. Nazarene generously share their resources to expand Christ's kingdom on earth! Our LINKS missionaries this year were David and Jennifer Allen and children Bethany and 75

77 Max. They serve in South Africa. Our other Links family was Hilbert and Sadie Miller who are retired and reside in Pennsylvania. Our churches welcomed them into their congregations by long distance with cards, gifts and prayers. We combined our efforts this year for the World Evangelism Fund (WEF) to help keep our missionaries on the field for a total given of $458, I am happy to announce this makes the Illinois District a World Evangelism Church of Excellence. We also had 29 churches reach this designation. Thank you to each one of our churches as this year we were able to complete our 100th anniversary project of $10, to help Amman, Jordan purchase Sunday School furniture. A District Work and Witness team traveled to Mexico this winter to help work on construction. We as a district sent $10, for project materials. The team was led by David Samayoa with each person paying their way and donating their labor. Many local churches sponsored Work and Witness trips. Educating is the fourth objective. It is easier to pray for those we know about. Learning takes place in a variety of venues. Experiences, listening to and reading stories, and getting to know missionaries on a personal level enhance mission awareness. Videos offer people the ability to see and hear missions. Deputation services, Faith Promise conventions, district sponsored events with a missionary speaker allow for interaction between missionaries and the people who support them through giving and prayers. In closing I would like to use the words of our first Illinois District President., Mrs. R.V. Starr in The cause of missions is one thing that will save the church itself. If we lose the spirit of missions we are lost. Our goal is to carry the gospel to every race and country in the world. Respectfully submitted, Sandy Stickler IL District NMI President 4. District NYI President District NYI President s Report Combined Conventions 2016 DP Jay Bush Greetings to the Illinois NYI, NMI and SDMI Conventions of 2016, I am pleased to be able to give my eighth report as NYI President of the Illinois District. According to the vision of NYI set forth at our Global Assembly, Nazarene Youth International exists to lead young people into a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ and to facilitate their growth as disciples for Christian service. (Manual; NYI Vision: 810.3) It is clear that the organization of NYI at the global, field, and district levels are of little value if we are not making students into disciples of Jesus Christ and seeing their growth continue throughout life. We have a responsibility to help students lay a firm foundation. And while significant spiritual experiences happen at district and global NYI events, the real foundational work begins at the local level, under the mentoring, persevering, and longterm care that can only be provided by those who have responded to the call at our local churches. I want to once again thank the many lay-youth leaders of our district who invest so much time, energy and resources into our students. I am the product of a youth ministry 76

78 who had a lay-youth pastor and his wife who loved me and modeled before me, what it meant to live for Christ. Thank you for your continued service to the youth of our great district. My vision for the Illinois District NYI is simple: We exist to serve. We do not exist for our own sake. We do not exist to fill up the calendar or provide things for bored teenagers to do. Instead, the District NYI is here to serve. We serve local churches and youth ministries. We serve youth pastors and NYI Presidents and volunteer youth leaders and student leaders. And by doing so, we all serve God together. All of us, whether we are from large or small churches, active or inactive youth ministries, we need partnership, we need accountability, and we need to see ourselves as part of the bigger picture of ministry with students across the Illinois District. While it is possible for large churches to do their own thing in the end I believe they and the district NYI both lose if our large churches aren t involved. If you check out any of the District NYI ministries: Camp, Celebrate Life, quizzing, Spiritual Life Retreat, Radiate...there is a level of excitement and expectancy that God will move! And I believe God is moving.

Editing and Publishing the Minutes We your Committee on Editing and Publishing the Minutes, submit the following report: That the district secretary, his assistants, and the district superintendent are authorized to correct and edit the minutes. They are also given authorization to have copies of the minutes printed or distributed electronically. Respectfully submitted, DOUGLAS E. HAYNES, Secretary JAMES KRAEMER, Chairman 7. Christian Cultural Engagement A. WHEREAS, in times when our culture desperately needs the Church to be a living example of Christ-like holiness and love, we strongly urge: 1. All our sisters and brothers in Christ to remember that we are called to be the Body of Christ in our world being empowered by the Holy Spirit to the glory of God the Father. As a result, we urge our brothers and sisters to remember the importance of corporate Christian worship, the receiving of the Sacraments and the practice of spiritual disciplines within the family and individually, believing that these are primary Means of Grace by which the Holy Spirit shapes us into a holy people. 2. That pastors, evangelists, and leaders live and teach the scriptural doctrines of the new birth and entire sanctification, believing that the Holy Spirit bears witness to both works of grace through the infilling of His Spirit, and that the one biblical evidence of the latter is the cleansing of the heart by faith from original sin manifested by the fruit of the Spirit in Christian service: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self- control (Gal 5:22-24). 3. That the church manual be made available to all in the church who desire it and the Articles of Faith (Manual, Part II, para 1-22, pgs ) and the Covenant of Christian Character (Manual, Part II, Articles , pgs ) be read, or printed, and distributed to the church body at least once a year admonishing each Nazarene to diligently pursue a lifestyle that honors God, the church and one another. 4. That new converts be lovingly nourished and instructed in the way of holiness. 5. That all of our people, "in putting off the old to put on the new and holy way of life as well as the mind of Christ (Eph 4:17-24), take to heart The Covenant of Christian Conduct of our church which gives guidance in areas of Christian Ethics, 104 entertainment, Marriage & Divorce, Abortion, Human Sexuality, Christian Stewardship, etc. (Manual, Part III, para 33-41, pgs 46-60). B. WHEREAS, ethics and values are constantly being questioned and changed by our society, the church must strengthen itself in its commitment and conduct. Therefore, this committee felt it vitally important to not only reaffirm our belief in Scripture and our Wesleyan guidelines, but to also provide useful information in this document to resource both laity and clergy to make the church both a beacon of hope and a model of holiness to our families, community and world. (Matthew 5:10-17; Ephesians 5:1-2,8-14; I Peter 1:13-17). Believing that ministry in the life of a Christian is based upon who we are in Christ, not merely the activities that we engage in, we encourage our people to see their world through the eyes of Jesus, to seek out opportunities for love and service at home and at work, within their local church as well as in the larger community. We also encourage 100

102 our people to work with and in public institutions as a means of Christ-like engagement with our culture on the local, State, National, and Global levels. 1. Each local church should strive to provide opportunities for Christ-like service such as: a. Ministries to the vulnerable, marginalized, and hurting within one's own congregation, believing that Christian love demonstrated toward those within our own fellowship is one way that Christ's love is made evident to the culture around us. b. Consider initiating special ministries that reach out to the needy in the community.

Along with engaging in acts of love and service through the local church, we must encourage our people to bring the same acts of kindness into their workplaces and homes. In understanding that Christ has called not only pastors, but in fact all Christians to be salt and light in the world, we must encourage our people to not look at their homes and workplaces as mundane and trivial, but as places to which they have been called to bring the love and hope of Jesus. We must understand that being a missional church is not something we do only corporately, but something we do individually, every day as we live our lives as salt and light in this dark and broken world. 3. Our people should show Christian stewardship by becoming involved in civic, community and school functions and cooperating with other churches and civic agencies who share our ministry objectives. Our pastors, youth workers and parents should maintain an awareness of the activities and promotions of organizations within the local school system and unite in an effort to oppose activities that do not comply with New Testament moral standards. Examples of civic organizations to offer aid and service to: a. Pregnancy Resource Centers b. Homeless Shelters c. Habitat for Humanity d. Credible Christian Counseling Centers e. Food & Clothing Pantries such as Hopeful Hearts Ministries in Decatur, the Good Samaritan Ministries Center in the 105 Metro- East and The Master's Hand in Olney and Newton along with multiple food pantries in local churches throughout the district. f. Nursing Homes; Senior Adult Organizations g. Appropriate Parent/Teacher Organizations (Resources: Nazarene Compassionate Ministries; Focus on the Family; Salvation Army; Nazarene Ethnic Ministries; Illinois Family Institute, 799 Roosevelt Road, Building 3, Suite 208, Glen Ellyn, IL; Toll free: (800- FAMILY-1); Fax:(630) ; info@illinoisfamily.org). 4. We should actively monitor our State and Federal Legislature on issues which pertain to, and affect our church and community and express appreciation to individuals/organizations that promote legislature and 101

103 programs which edify. We encourage the above while being simultaneously mindful that our commitment to Christ our Lord must always be far greater than our commitment to any political party, agenda, or association. Therefore, we urge church leaders to make available the names and addresses of government officials and stress the importance of prayer for all elected officials. We also call our people to thoughtful participation in local, state and national politics, especially pertaining to the biblical ideals of faith, family, and social justice while also wholeheartedly acknowledging that the politics of this world are not the politics of the kingdom of God.

That each local church provides its members with ample opportunities to see beyond our own borders and mature into global Christians by staying informed about world events (both natural and political) and the persecution of fellow believers that we might pray for the increase of His government and peace on the earth. In addition, we urge the promotion of sacrificial giving for the cause of world evangelism and personally participating in Work and Witness when and where possible. (Resources: Nazarene Missions International - nazarenemissions.org; Nazarene Compassionate Ministries - ncm.org; Nazarene Communication Network - ncnnews.org, Voice of the Martyrs - persecutedchurch.org, International Christian Concern - ice@persecution.org) C. This report is a re-affirmation of our ethical and moral standards, as set forth by the General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene. It is the prayer of this committee that t h e s e suggestions and resources will benefit individuals and churches committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. For only through personal involvement can we go into the "fields white unto harvest" (John 4:37). LET US GO! Respectfully submitted, JAMES NORMAN, Secretary MICHAEL TAYLOR, Chairman 8. Church Growth We, your Committee on Church Growth, make the following recommendations to the district assembly for consideration: Commission We recommend that every church emphasize the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) in every facet of their ministry. Scripture is very clear that our primary motivation in church 102

104 growth is seeing souls saved and discipled in Christ Jesus. Prayer Prayer is the foundation for all church growth. Without prayer, little of lasting value will be accomplished. We also recommend that the church provide opportunities for concentrated prayer and fasting during the church year. We recommend that each local church do their best to support the District sponsored Prayer Summits and Encounters. Mission/Vision/Purpose We encourage every church to develop a mission statement, a vision statement, and a clear statement of purpose. We recommend that these three key elements be presented to the local congregation on a regular basis to ensure continued focus on God's plan, mission and vision for the local church. Responsibility List Every church should maintain an accurate and detailed responsibility list. We also encourage each congregation to actively and regularly contact, nurture, and disciple those for which they have claimed responsibility. Contacting Absentees should be contacted through a regular, systematic approach. This is not solely the responsibility of the pastor, but should be a shared ministry within the church among the laity. Churches should be encouraged to use various means of making contact with absentees: personal visits, phone calls, texts, Social Media, etc. Discipleship Emphasis should be given not only to evangelism, but also to discipleship. The new Christian should be encouraged to seek the experience of entire sanctification which leads to continued spiritual growth, productive service, and inspirational witness in the Christian life. Lay Ministry We encourage each local church to seek creative ways to provide for and promote Christian service and ministry opportunities within the church and community. Education Pastors and laymen should take full advantage of educational and CEU opportunities, including seminars, workshops, videos, books, and especially the quality CLT programs that our denomination offers. Evangelism Each local congregation should seek to evangelize their community with the vision of seeing souls saved and lives changed by the grace and for the glory of God. Innovative and creative methods of outreach and evangelism should be explored and implemented. New Church Starts We believe every church on the Illinois District can and should be prayerfully involved in creating or supporting new church starts. Each pastor should promote and attend the Church Planting Essentials and Churches Planting Churches DCPI training. Prayer, funding, and personal involvement in new church plants should be part of the local church mission statement and vision. Personal Evangelism It is the privilege and duty of every Christian to share their faith with others. We encourage all churches to provide specialized training for various types of personal evangelism as well as developing a mentoring plan for the discipleship of new converts. 103

105 Revivals We encourage our churches to plan for and facilitate annual revival campaigns. We strongly urge the use of full-time evangelists in the Church of the Nazarene. Servant Evangelism Methods of servant evangelism should be employed in churches of all sizes and in all areas. The local church should look for creative and helpful ways to be a blessing to the community it ministers to. Finances Set aside a portion of the annual church budget for purposes of outreach and evangelism. The Bible says, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21)." Evangelism Committee We encourage each church to review and implement the guidelines for a local Evangelism and Church Membership Committee as stated in the Manual, page 71, and section Global Church Growth Award It should be the goal of every church to introduce each new convert into the membership of the Church of the Nazarene. The purpose of the General Superintendents Growth Award (GSGA) is to give prominence to those practices that are central to the local and worldwide advancement of the church, specifically, new Nazarenes, significant involvement in sponsoring a new church, and 100% participation in fund allocations. Churches that win people to Christ are healthy. Starting new churches is the most effective means of evangelism known to the church. Fund allocations are essential to the cooperative ministries of the Church of the Nazarene. I. New Nazarenes requirements are based on 10% of attendance for the current year. II. III. The meaning of significant involvement in sponsoring a new church is very specific and is spelled out in the Sponsorship Criteria Worksheet. This worksheet is available online. Full participation in fund allocations includes district assignment, educational support, pensions (applicable to US only), and World Evangelism Fund. The requirements for receiving this award are intentionally high it is special recognition by the Board of General Superintendents. It is not based on attendance or membership. This award is not intended to replace all awards. This award is given in recognition of outstanding accomplishment in essential practices of the expansion of the kingdom of God through the Church of the Nazarene. The presentation of this award is intended to say Thank You to the receiving pastor and church, and to elevate in the consciousness of our people the compelling importance of winning people to Christ, starting new churches, and supporting the organizational structures that make possible evangelism around the world. Respectfully submitted, Cory Swinderman, Secretary Gary Williamson, Chairman 9. Ministerial Staff Support We, your Committee on Ministerial Staff Support, submit the following in order to 104

106 care for the welfare of our spiritual leaders and encourage their commitment to our spiritual guidance. The district office and the Pastoral Support Committee want to assist pastors and church boards in understanding their roles in providing adequate compensation for its pastors and staffs. Support of the pastor by the church is an expression of the belief in the call of God on the life of the pastor rather than a job where monies are paid for services rendered. Adequate compensation enables a pastor to fulfill his or her calling. Pastoral support extends beyond the compensation and benefits for the pastor and staff and includes those expenses incurred by pastoral staff which is necessary to conduct the business of the church. Each church pays a sum to a pastor s ministry, which is divided into several categories: compensation, benefits and expenses. The sum of these categories is considered the cost of ministry to the local church, not all of which is to be considered the income of the pastor. The district Pastoral Support Committee has developed guidelines for local pastoral support committees to evaluate their commitment to the ministry of the pastor. Anyone wanting further assistance in assessing or planning adequate compensation may contact the district office. In addition to consideration for the local pastors, churches should also establish a remuneration policy for pulpit supply, including travel expenses. Senior Pastor The senior pastor is the leader of the church and a leader in the local community. Bi-vocational Pastor A bi-vocational pastor supplements income by means other than church compensation. Churches should view the circumstances that cause the pastor to supplement income as a temporary situation to be resolved as soon as possible. The goal is to remove as many worldly concerns from the pastor as possible, so that the pastor may attend more intently on his or her life s calling. Recognizing that small and young churches may have difficulty in providing adequately for their pastor and family, we urge such churches to use what they are able to provide to the best advantage of their pastor and to strive toward the goal of full support. Associate Pastor and Staff An associate pastor is defined as a partner in ministry, on staff, whether receiving compensation or not. The church is to work toward a similar benefit package for the full-time associate as for the senior pastor (guideline to the church: an amount equal to 70 to 80 percent of the senior pastor s compensation package). Associate pastor and staff salaries should be negotiated in accordance with the recommendations of the senior pastor. Retired Pastor A retired pastor is a minister with retirement status. We recommend that retired pastors be employed for pulpit supply as frequently as possible. Retired pastors usually live on meager retirement benefits and may welcome the opportunity to provide for pulpit supply. Retired pastors are a source of experience and expertise that is available to the local church. Evangelist Often, the evangelist s only source of income is from meetings held at various local churches. We recommend that a full-time evangelist s minimum remuneration for such a meeting be an amount equal to twice the local senior pastor s weekly cash salary for each full Sunday in the special meeting (as recommended by the Evangelism Ministries of the Division of Local Church Growth). The local senior pastor s weekly cash salary and prorated insurance and Social Security benefits should all be included in the compensation. Additional compensation for housing and travel-related expenses should be paid in a 105

107 separate check, allowing for maximum tax benefit for the evangelist. I. For the Pastor A. Concerning Salary: 1. That for all full-time pastors, every church provides a minimum of $ 475 per week salary. By definition, salary should not be deemed to include reimbursements and cost of ministry expenses listed below in Section B, Paragraph 1. The Advisory Board is to make the distinction between full-time and bi-vocational pastors. That churches which are legitimately unable to provide for such remuneration recognize that their pastor is bi-vocational and, therefore, able and obligated to supplement his or her income. We recommend that the district superintendent or designated personnel monitor the suggested minimum weekly salary on the basis of the materials provided by the general church s worksheet and, when necessary, give strong counsel to church boards to provide the above-stated minimum salary and benefits. 2. That the church place, as an employee benefit, an amount equal to 10 percent of the ministerial staff s monthly salary in a tax-sheltered annuity each month for his/her retirement. This is the third leg of the retirement tier recommended by the Pensions and Benefits office of the general Church of the Nazarene. 3. That the church review the ministerial staff salary at least annually and that increases reflect at least cost-of-living increases. That a letter be sent once a year from the district superintendent to the local church board secretary reminding the board of its responsibility in this area, and that a written summation of the board s action shall be returned to the district superintendent within 30 days of the local board meeting. 4. That any significant increase in the annual amount raised for all purposes by the church during a pastor s tenure be taken into consideration at the time salary and benefits are reviewed. B. Concerning Reimbursements: 1. That the church pays reimbursements for all church-related expenses, and that among these are standard mileage reimbursement at the recommended IRS rate for personally-owned automobiles. To avoid additional financial burden on the pastor and staff during these days of rapidly changing gasoline prices, the church board is strongly encouraged to monitor and comply with any increases the IRS may possibly make on its recommended mileage rate during the calendar year. Entertainment expenses, office supplies, continuing education expenses (books, tuition, conferences, etc.), gifts and all other reimbursable expenses deemed appropriate by the IRS should also be included. 2. Church-related expenses of pastoral staff should be qualified on the basis of material from General Headquarters, as well as the Internal Revenue Service. Every church should provide adequately to prevent financial strain to the parsonage family, and that every church provides 100 percent Social Security and full family hospitalization. That churches be allowed to maintain their present insurance program, and if churches propose a change, the change should be approved by the district superintendent and the District Advisory Board. 3. That the church provides the ministerial staff expense to all church-related functions, including the district and general assemblies. Lodging, meals and transportation shall be a part of this expense. 4. That the churches encourage and financially support its ministerial staff to continuing education through school, seminars and conferences. 106

108 5. That each local church board provides funds for the purpose of sending its ministerial staff to the general assembly. C. Concerning Housing: 1. That the church provides housing and utilities and/or adequate housing allowance. Utilities shall include heat, water, sewer, electric, gas, internet, and trash pickup at a minimum. 2. That the church equips the parsonage with a stove, refrigerator, air conditioning, washer, dryer, draperies, curtains and carpeting. 3. That a minister could request the church board to adjust his/her compensation for any year in which it is anticipated that the minister will purchase major appliances and/or furniture. 4. That the fair-rental value and the designated additional parsonage allowance should be entered into church board records at the beginning of each calendar year. When a housing allowance is established in lieu of a parsonage, a review of the allowance should be made annually regarding payment, taxes, utilities and repairs. 5. That the Board of Trustees or Church Board of the local church inspect the parsonage once each year in order to continue to provide for quality living conditions. No parsonage family should be expected to live in substandard housing. This inspection should be scheduled with the pastor and spouse and be done in their presence. Any necessary changes seen at this inspection should be completed as soon as possible. 6. That the local church board makes all necessary arrangements for the ministerial staff s moving expenses. D. Concerning the Ministerial Staff s General Emotional and Spiritual Welfare: 1. That the church continually lifts the parsonage families in prayer. 2. That the church remembers the ministerial staff s family with suitable gifts at appropriate times during the year and consider a gift of no less than one week s salary at Christmas. 3. That the church provide for vacation and time off according to the following scale (this schedule refers to total years in ministry): a. One year in the ministry: two weeks vacation b. Two to ten years in the ministry: three weeks vacation c. Ten to twenty years in the ministry: four weeks vacation d. Twenty or more years in the ministry: five weeks vacation (District Assembly, Family Camp, ministerial retreats and seminars, and working in Teen or Children s Camps are not to be considered as part of this vacation time allowance.) 4. In order to benefit the church and the health of the pastor, the church should encourage the pastoral staff to take a minimum of one day per week for family time. 5. That the church allow the senior pastor the privilege of holding a full week revival or speaking engagement of one or more days, not to exceed seven days per year, with the church to be responsible for pulpit supply without loss of salary to the pastor. 107

109 6. That the local church offer the pastor/staff two mental health days each month to be taken at the pastor s discretion, to be used at a time when workload or individual stress is overwhelming. 7. That the local church make available to its pastor a one month sabbatical at the end of each five years of uninterrupted ministry to that same church. II. For All Full-time Evangelists (Song and Otherwise) A. Concerning Salary: 1. That evangelists be paid at least an amount equal to twice the pastor s salary or a minimum of $500 for each Sunday of the meeting. 2. That, in addition, Social Security on the amount of salary be summarily paid. 3. That evangelists be notified in writing at the time the meeting is scheduled of the minimum remuneration they can expect to receive from the local church. 4. That local churches avoid canceling previously scheduled revivals. 5. That a local church canceling a revival without notifying the evangelist at least 30 days in advance be obligated to pay the minimum remuneration in full, unless the evangelist is able to reschedule the same date. B. Concerning Reimbursements and Housing 1. That churches provide for all travel expenses, lodging and food during the meeting. 2. That local churches having full-time evangelists as members pay one-half the cost of the hospitalization insurance. 3. That local churches having full-time evangelists as members provide for their expenses to general and district gatherings. C. Concerning the Evangelist s General Emotional and Spiritual Welfare: 1. That finances for revivals be raised in advance of the scheduled meeting. 2. That the local church sends a Christmas gift to all evangelists who have served the church during that calendar year. 3. That local churches having full-time evangelists as members provide encouragement and support for their ministry through prayer and such tangible ways as love offerings and remembering them on their birthdays and anniversaries. III. For Retired Ministerial Staff A. Concerning Reimbursements: 1. That local churches having retired ministers as members provide for their expenses to general and district gatherings they wish to attend. B. Concerning Their General Emotional and Spiritual Welfare 1. That local churches having retired ministers as members remember them often, such as at birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas, with gifts of gratitude for their years of faithful service in the Kingdom. 108

110 2. That local churches having retired ministers as members pay one-half the cost of the hospitalization insurance. 3. That the Illinois District gives a one-time love gift to all elders upon their retirement. We recommend a minimum of $1,000. We ask that each local church board secretary and pastor receive a copy of this report from the district superintendent and that the same shall be read or distributed by the church board secretary to the church board as a reminder of their responsibilities. The church board secretary shall notify the district superintendent in writing concerning the fulfillment of this policy. Respectfully submitted, Jerimy Wooley, Secretary Darin Workman, Chairman VI.

114 VII. FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL ILLINOIS DISTRICT CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS Pages Independent Auditor s Report 1-2 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets Modified Cash Basis 3-4 Statement of Support, Revenue and Expenses Modified Cash Basis 5 Statement of Cash Flows Modified Cash Basis 6 Notes to Financial Statements 7-10 Supplementary Information

115 To the Board of Directors Illinois District Church of the Nazarene INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and net assets modified cash basis of the Administration, Home Mission, District Reserve, Medical, Nazarene Missions International, Church New Start, Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International and Nazarene Youth International funds of the Illinois District Church of the Nazarene as of April 30, 2016, and the related statements of support, revenue and expenses and cash flows modified cash basis for the fiscal year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 1; this includes determining that the modified cash basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for preparation of the financial statements in the circumstances. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion. 114
