About Avon Parkside Church of the Nazarene

Avon Parkside Church of the Nazarene is nestled in the land of opportunity 25 minutes west of Indianapolis. Avon Township serves as a bedroom community for the greater Indianapolis area and is growing.  Our church family consists of seasoned believers with a handful of younger families that are looking to connect with our community and provide a safe place for not yet believers to experience hope in Christ. We are currently in the midst of a ministry shift that has given us an opportunity to rethink and re-vision how we see God shaping us for the years to come. Since calling a new pastor in the fall of 2021 we (the pastor and leadership) have made some positive changes and are gaining momentum as we move forward. We are in the process of updating our website and media presence to make them more current.
