The blue bands represent the three historic divisions of the island, while the white bands symbolize independence. The triangle represents the virtues of equality, liberty, and fraternity, and the color red stands for the blood shed by the patriots in the long struggle for independence.

GMC Flags of the Nations: Cuba
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
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: Cuba
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Cuba in 1902.
Cuba had a population of 11,087,330 in 2011. That same year, Cuba reported 72 Churches of the Nazarene, all of which had been officially organized. Cuba has 7,516 total members.
Cuba is a Phase 2 district on the Mesoamerica Region.

NOTE: Some countries cannot be represented in this project in order to maintain security of those working there.
This week flag will be flown at half staff on Tuesday, September 11 in observance of Patriot Day.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.
The Global Ministry Center is the mission and service hub of the Church of the Nazarene.
