Our Heritage... where we're from

Portage First Church*

In the late nineteen nineties God was on the move at First Church of the Nazarene in Portage Indiana (and He continues to move there today!) In their quest to connect seekers and believers to real life in Jesus Christ the leadership at First Church decided to plant a new work. Pastor Richard Schmidt and his wife Stacey began to draw together a team of people to move forward with them into this new work located in the neighboring town of Valparaiso Indiana. A group of faithful Christ followers answered God's call to partner with the Schmidt's and a new expansion of God's kingdom was underway.

Living Hope Community Church

Living Hope Community Church in Valparaiso quickly became a place dedicated to connecting people to God, to each other, and to a world in need of God's love. People who "would never step foot in another church" came and were made new. Lives were changed, people were transformed and the kingdom continues to expand because of the faithful work being done at Living Hope. As Living Hope entered its fifth year a core group shaped by all they had learned at Living Hope became convinced that God was calling them to continue that expansion in Washington State. Living Hope is continuing to reach out to the world both locally in Valparaiso and through their sacrificial support and guidance of this new work; Story Point Community Church.

Story Point Community Church

The story of SPCC has just begun, much of this tale remains to be told and as the story moves forward the leaders at Story Point Community Church will continue to be thankful for the heritage that has shaped them and helped to lead them to where they are today. They look forward to continuing in the footsteps of their parent church, grandparent church, the Church of the Nazarene, and the followers of the Way of Christ throughout history.

* Since the planting of Living Hope, Portage First Church of the Nazarene has changed their name to Real Life Community Church -- a church of the Nazarene.
