Community of Faith

The Portland Promise Community of Faith is a mission-based faith community of the United Methodist Church. In January 2002 three people gathered for prayer and communal reading of scripture. Over time they patiently watched as a Community of Faith emerged. Today this humble group has become the heartbeat of our urban ministry.

Church-based community development is a practical way of reversing negative trends in communities of need. It is also a biblical mandate for the Church. The Church has been called to be an authentic expression of community life as a witness to the love of God and the power of Christ that overcomes racial, economic, and cultural barriers that separate people and destroys community.

The Portland Promise Community of Faith desires to be an expression of a genuine New Testament community– characterized by faith, hope, and love. Our neighborhood is in transition. We continue to face the challenges of economic, social and racial injustice. We are convinced that God has called this humble church into being for such a time as this!
