Sunday Gatherings

Sunday gatherings are the primary way we gather as a church to worship together, learn the Scriptures, pray for one another, and create space to hear from the Spirit. We also gather in similar age groups and stages of life to grow together.

Bridgetown Communities

Communities are the primary way that we gather during the week around the bread and cup to be the people of Jesus in our city. In communities, we are practicing the way of Jesus, together, in Portland and we invite you to start or join a community in your neighborhood of the city.

    Faithful Friends is a faith-based mentoring program for kids in our city between the ages of 6 and 9.

Adults are matched with a child for a one-year long mentoring relationship. Attend an upcoming Faithful Friends information meeting and learn how you or your community can get involved as a mentor to a child.
