Valdozende - A reference to Portuguese Methodist Youth
















The Evangelical Methodist Church of Valdozende is located in Minho, a region near the Natural Park of Gerês. Despite being one of the oldest Methodists Portuguese community has already 39 years of history.
Inserted in a beautiful natural landscape between the river and the Mountain, the church of Valdozende has been an important milestone in the life of the Portuguese Methodist Youth Department and all youth who passed through it. Beautiful forests, green paths and waterfalls touch the hearts and minds of visitors who promise to return one day to find themselves, meet the nature and meet God.
Initially the young people had an important role in building the Church giving its contribution through work camps, where young people from around the country and Europe came together to help on the construction of the Church and Social Center buildings. Work camps were also moments of conviviality, praise and spirituality, which created strong bonds of friendship and faith.
Later the Portuguese Methodist Youth Department began to organize funny summer camps, which still take place at this location so special and magical that is Valdozende. These times of great sharing, humor, leisure and adventure, expression through art, worship, prayer and communion become unforgettable.
But why this place?
Because in VALDOZENDE we feel closer to GOD ...
