Messiah Church is hosting the annual gathering of NACOS (Native American Course of Study) during the week of September 19-23. The mission of NACOS is to educate and train Native American local pastors in the United Methodist Church. The school uniquely prepares students to work cross-culturally in a variety of settings. In addition to Native Americans, NACOS is open to pastors of all races and ethnicities serving Native American people within their congregations and communities, as well as those pastors responding to a call to work in Native American Ministries.
