NWCEA, an Oregon nonprofit

The Northwest Christian Evangelistic Association is an Oregon nonprofit organization founded in 1956 as the North Willamette Christian Evangelistic Association.  We are a tax-exempt organization according to the IRS.

 

Our Success

NWCEA is responsible for planting 25 churches.  See "New Churches" for list of most recent churches planted.

We primarily serve a five-county area: Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington and Columbia counties in Oregon and Clark County in Washington. 

NWCEA has "members" - the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ who financially or otherwise participate in its activities.

We are governed by a Board of Trustees.  See "Meet Our Board" page to see who is on the board.  Meetings are generally 6:30 am on the second Tuesday of the month at Tigard Christian Church.  If you want to attend a meeting, call the office prior to the meeting to see which room and entrance we are using at Tigard.

Our office is in the same building as Our Place Christian Church, 1400 NE 48th Ave., Suite 100, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124. The phone number is 503-648-2329.  Fax: 503-693-7249. 

 

Our Mission

God is using the NWCEA to start a Multiplication Movement of new churches to produce 100 new churches to reach 1 percent of the population in the Portland-Vancouver area within 10 years.

"This is what the kingdom of God is like.  A man scatters seed on the ground.  Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts out and grows, though he does not know how.  All by itself the soil produces grain - first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel of the head.  As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."  Jesus, Mark 4:26-29.

God's kingdom is advancing as surely as the seed grows and produces a full head of grain, ready for harvest.  Jesus' mission to build His church through his focus for us "to seek and save the lost" is catching new momentum and enthusiasm through this ministy of church planting!
