Our Mission

Portland Church of the Nazarene believes God has given us the mission of helping children succeed in life. Thus our theme: “Kidz First.” Every decision we make revolves around whether that decision stays true to our mission.  Our new Family Life Center is reflective of that mission with an indoor playground of 2,400 square feet, a full sized gymnasium and a 1,200 square foot youth center surrounded by numerous learning and activity rooms. Our facility not only impacts those who attend  our church but the extended community.

Our Vision

Central to that existence and vital to our growth is a deep desire to equip children to make value-based decisions as teens and become successful contributing family members and citizens as adults.  Statistics show that children who grasp religious fundamentals and translate those beliefs into personal practice have a much greater success rate for enjoying strong, healthy teen and adult years.  What a wonderful investment in marriage, family and community!
