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.About Bridgetown
We are a church practicing the way of Jesus, together, in Portland. We gather Sunday mornings on the Eastside and Sunday evenings on the Westside. Then all week long our communities spread across the urban core of the city.

Bridgetown & The “Four Week Freeze”
Due to rising cases of COVID-19 and in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday, Multnomah County (among several other counties) has been put on a “Four Week Freeze.” While houses of worship are technically exempt from these temporary regulations, Bridgetown’s desire is the care for the vulnerable in our community and contribute to the health and wellness of our city. Until the freeze ends, Bridgetown will be reducing capacity for all events to 25 or fewer, including staff. We miss you, and we look forward to and pray for the eradication of COVID-19.
Dates: During "Four Week Freeze"

Bridgetown & Racial Justice Resources
In Jesus we see a God who experiences anger at the evil in our world, who establishes justice and righteousness, and who works on behalf of the oppressed. We also see in Jesus a God who listens intently, grieves deeply, and weeps. As apprentices of Jesus, we aim to follow his example. Discover ways to listen, learn, and give to our Black and Brown brothers and sisters as we go on the journey of racial reconciliation and healing.
