Our Mission We live in a universe - A universe that has a set of laws, cycles, and patterns. Learning and following these Ways of the Universe will allow us to live smooth and peaceful lives. However, we being human, tend to live as we wish in our human centered ways. When our desires run into or against the Ways of the Universe, going against it’s flow, hardship or suffering on our part often result. The mission of the Konko Church of Portland is to serve people and Kami (The Spirit of the Universe) by: Practicing a faith which is forced upon you by others is a faith which is not genuine. A faith that is not your own is easily lost. Practice true faith with devotion. Living in Harmony with The Universe (Book of Teachings III, KonkoKyoso Gorikai 22) Faith is realized when the follower & Kami become close. Faith will fade if you stand in fear of Kami. Stay close to Kami. (Voice of the Universe #96) Providing Sacred Mediation and a place of worship Sharing the Founder Konko Daijin’s faith and teaching the Ways of the Universe Addressing the needs (both spiritual and secular) of its surrounding community. Our desire is to help you further develop your spiritual foundation, learn to live in harmony with the Universe, and find purpose, hope, and happiness in life. In this way both people and Kami will be fulfilled.
