Ontario Ministry Site
Welcome to Ontario!
Nampa First United Methodist Church in Idaho is excited to partner with the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference to begin the process to launch a new ministry site at 312 NW 2nd Street in Ontario, Oregon. Utilizing the building that was formerly First United Methodist Church (until 2017) and then Origins Faith Community (until 2023), we look forward to meeting our new neighbors and going on a journey together!
Our hopes are to partner with the community to...
Create weekly worship in a safe space where all are welcome, included, and loved
Meet the community and listen to the hopes and dreams you have for this site
Learn the important community needs for food or other support and partner with you to meet those needs
Develop small groups for all ages to connect and grow
Create powerful ministry for families with children and teens
Provide opportunities to serve within the Ontario community and beyond
Be a conscious reminder of the love and grace of a God who loves all
Seek community funding sources via grants to support those in need
This site has a rich history of serving those in need and we plan to partner with you to continue the work! Beginning October 13, in the evening, the church building will be closed temporarily to undergo some work done by volunteer teams to make it safe, accessible, freshly painted, and ready to meet you! This closure is short-term and we hope to lauch worship around Easter (with a potential teaser around Christmas) provided we complete the steps needed in that time frame. We also plan to partner with grant providers to serve the community through food ministries or other community programming as soon as funding allows.
Are you looking for a church community that will love you like you are? We hope you'll join us as we step forward.
