Celebrating 75 Years of Alabaster!

Thank you for your generous support of Alabaster, particularly during this 75th anniversary year. Encourage local presidents to confirm with their treasurer that all funds received for Alabaster are submitted promptly according to your region’s guidelines.

Everyone can give to Alabaster! There are no age limits, and there are no offerings too small or too large! Alabaster offerings are expressions of our love for Christ. Just as Mary poured out her costly perfume as her sacrificial love gift to Jesus, let us pour out our sacrificial love gifts to Him for the purpose of spreading His love throughout the world. Alabaster is the building fund of global missions in the Church of the Nazarene.
