(NCMI) is a national non-profit, faith-based intermediary whose mission is to mobilize public and private resources to help the church fulfill its biblical mandate to eliminate poverty and respond to natural disasters, calling individuals to loving, compassionate, and just service. NCMI provides capacity building, technical assistance, volunteer recruitment, and resource development for the thousands of Compassionate Churches; 180 local faith-based (501)(c)(3) nonprofits affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene located across the United States, known as Compassionate Ministry Centers, (CMC), and the nine colleges and universities that make up the Nazarene Higher Education System. While not a part of its domestic national service agenda, NCMI also serves as an intermediary for more than 40 Nazarene-affiliated Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's) conducting international compassionate ministries and disaster relief work.

For example: At Southern Nazarene University, students volunteer at City Rescue Mission which offers individuals support to overcome addictions and find jobs. Additionally many students are engaged in a variety of organizations within Oklahoma City that provided services for people in poverty.
