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 way 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.

Once building renovations are finished, we will have a number of small projects we would love your help in completing before Gatherings begin, including interior work such as cleaning windows and light wood maintenance. Note: work week will not proceed until small gatherings are permitted; we will be diligent to follow all safety and social distancing protocols.

    Dates: TBD

Watch with us every Sunday.

  • Assemble a Flash Box for Foster Families

    Flash Boxes are filled with activities, gift cards, snacks, and items for both the guardians and kids. As foster families offer radical hospitality, love, and care for kids in crisis in the community, this surprise box is designed to encourage and support foster families in our area.

    Location: Bridgetown Church parking lot

     

  • Donate Laptops and Tablets to Foster Families

    Donate your used laptops and tablets (2015 or newer with webcam and charger) for kids and families impacted by foster care. Many families lack access to a laptop or tablet, yet these devices are crucial at this time to connect kids with their biological parents, keep up with school, and check in with their caseworkers. Laptops/tablets will be cleaned, scrubbed, and safely delivered to homes by Free Geek.

    Dates: Drop off Mondays and Wednesdays

    Time: 10 AM – 12 PM

    Location: Bridgetown Church parking lot

    Cost: Approx $2 per lunch

    Time: 10 AM – 12 PM

  • Medical Provider Prayer

    We are fostering a space for medical providers to pray together. We want to be a church that prays more, especially in times of crisis. In addition to our Virtual Prayer Meetings, we wanted to offer a time specifically for medical providers who are currently working to come together to pray for each other and for those affected by COVID-19.

We are now offering a number of virtual prayer opportunities, including group prayer, one-on-one prayer with a pastor, city-wide prayer through Instagram Live, and prayer and fasting with Bridgetown each Tuesday. Explore opportunities by visiting the Bridgetown Online website.

    Dates: Weekly

     

  • Prophetic Words & Dreams

    We believe that God speaks to us in the form of words, images, and dreams. In this season, a lot of you are probably hearing the Spirit speak or having dreams that may be from God. Share with us the prophetic words of encouragement, comfort, and hope that the Spirit is speaking.
