Why Portland?

Why Plant a New Church?

    • Portland is Decidedly Post-Christian

    • Fresh Expressions of the Ancient Gospel are Needed

    • God is Eager to Display His Creative Beauty in New Ways

    • God Exists as One, Unified, Triune Community

    • He Unveils His Splendor Through Clusters of Communities Displaying His Beauty in the World

    • The Church is God’s Plan to Unleash the Redemptive Wholeness of His Kingdom

Why Us?

    • Tasted and seen the goodness of God’s restoring love - can’t hold it back!

    • In love with the honest expression of raw personhood in Portland

    • Heartbroken over the pain and struggles of the city

    • Stepped down from ministry for a season of restoration, repentance, and recalibration

    • Yielded to God’s transforming love through raw, intrusive community & worship

    • Surrendered to God’s timing, plans, and purposes
