The Northwest District of the Church of the Nazarene is unique.  Organized in December 1904, the Northwest District had already held four annual district assemblies before the Church of the Nazarene was officially organized in Pilot Point, Texas in 1908. The original boundaries of Northwest District included churches in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. In its 15th district assembly (1919), the Northwest District reported 23 churches with 795 members. By the time the district had been in existence for 25 years it had been divided into five districts. In all, eight districts have been formed out of the original geographical boundaries. Now, having entered the current millenium and celebrated our 100th birthday, close to 6,500 men, women, teens, boys and girls gather together for Sunday School in 70 churches each week and about 10,000 come together for worship. There is a strong feeling of "family"—of togetherness—as our pastors and lay people diligently spread the Good News of the Gospel to men and women, young people, and boys and girls who make this beautiful part of our world their home.
