GMC Flags of the Nations: Ireland
Thursday, January 3, 2013
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: Ireland
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Ireland in 1987.
Ireland had a population of 4,581,269 in 2011. That same year, Ireland reported one Church of the Nazarene that had been officially organized. Ireland has 51 total members.
Ireland is a Pioneer Area district on the Eurasia Region.

NOTE: Some countries cannot be represented in this project in order to maintain security of those working there.
* = 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.
