Pastor Don Lain
Lead Pastor
Pastor Don Lain, along with his wife Nancy, joined us at Parkside Nazarene as Lead Pastor in September 2019. Prior to that he served as Lead Pastor of three different churches over the course of 25 years. A word from our pastor: “God has been so faithful to me and my family down through the years. Included in the list of blessings is the honor of becoming the Lead Pastor of (Westlake) Parkside Church of the Nazarene. It is a church filled with the best of people. Together we are striving to learn about who Jesus is and how He would like us to live. None of us have “arrived” or got it all figured out. We’d love to have you join us as we learn and grow together.”
