The objective of Church Relations is to establish a community of churches to advance a Christian experience in the lives of our students.
Church Relations partners with Christ-centered churches and their leaders to build meaningful relationships, connect them with the resources of MidAmerica Nazarene University, and foster collaborative support for students as they pursue their academic and spiritual goals.
Whether you’re a pastor of a current or future MNU student, or simply interested in our mission, the Church Relations office is your gateway to the educational and ministry resources of MidAmerica Nazarene University.
Join Church Relations on a pilgrimage through Israel’s celebrated holy places May 6-14, 2026. The rich spiritual and historical significance of these locations offers an unparalleled opportunity for reflection, prayer, and a deeper connection to your faith. You’ll witness the stunning landscapes, from the peaceful waters of the Dead Sea to the dramatic hills of Jerusalem, adding layers of meaning to your journey on this group trip led by MNU faculty.
When registering, use the hostname ‘Randy Cloud’ and the Trip ID: 55321
How would MNU exist without the support of our regional churches? From the university’s founding through today, you have believed in and supported our mission. Thank you for your gifts! We really couldn’t do it without you.
Below are monthly giving reports for each district to assist in tracking educational giving. These reports will be posted on approximately the 1st of each month. If you have questions, please call University Advancement at 913.971.3600 or email foundation@mnu.edu.
MidAmerica Nazarene University would not exist without the longstanding, generous financial support of our regional churches. Each year, Nazarene churches give a portion of the funds they have raised to advance the mission of the university. MNU reports churches and district giving on a monthly basis. You can review these reports above.
MNU has made it even easier for you to support the university’s mission by creating an online giving portal specifically for church treasurers and district leadership. Save on postage by using this convenient payment option and see the impact of your gifts.
We know you want to help the students in your congregation succeed at MNU. Our matching scholarship program allows you to financially assist your students. For every dollar you contribute to an individual student scholarship, MNU will match it up to $500.
The process is straightforward. Read these simple instructions on making a church-match scholarship.
If you have any questions please email churchrelations@mnu.edu or call 913.971.3356.
Do you have an MNU student from your congregation embarking on a mission trip through MNU? You can support their ministry efforts by calling MNU’s Cashier’s Office at 913.971.3504 to make a trip payment.
Several local churches and districts have opted to establish an endowment fund or scholarship fund to support the Christ-centered education of MNU students from their congregations. If you would like to add to your church or district’s endowment or scholarship fund, contact MNU’s Office of University Advancement at 913.971.3600 or foundation@mnu.edu.
After one of MNU’s SERVE teams visits a church, the congregation often wishes to express its appreciation by supporting the Kingdom-expanding work of the group.
