About LoveWorks

LoveWorks Teams & Ministry Sites

Teams are typically 10-13 PLNU students with two faculty, staff, or alumni leaders. LoveWorks only goes where we are invited and we have never been able to fully meet the number of requests from the global family of the Church of the Nazarene. We work with hosts who we know and trust - they minister long before we arrive and long after we leave.

Each trip is unique; training and preparation are focused on the needs and requests of the hosts. Flexibility is essential. As you read the trip descriptions, please remember that the ministry focus may shift as needs change and new opportunities arise. Virtually every trip includes church visitation, sports, and music.

From February to May, LoveWorks meets Thursday nights at 8 p.m. for training. There is also a weekend training retreat in March. Full participation in training is required, as it is crucial to prepare you and your team.

Thanks to an extensive international ministry network through the Church of the Nazarene, our PLNU LoveWorks teams serve around the world in a variety of continuing ministry efforts.

Pastors, congregations, and missionaries are aware of LoveWorks' longstanding commitment to sending well-trained, culturally sensitive, and flexible teams. As a result, our teams are often invited to serve in challenging and remote areas of the world and in cross-cultural, relational ministries. We are blessed to serve and learn alongside our sisters and brothers in Christ.
