Young Adults
Bridgetown Young Adults exists to connect a generation to the life of the church. To empower and embolden a generation hungry for the presence of God by nurturing authentic spaces of connection and encounter as we practice the way of Jesus together in Portland.

Stay tuned - we have an upcoming course with a focus of integrating biblical literacy more and more into the lives of the young adults at Bridgetown. The course is for the Bible expert and the novice - everyone is invited, can contribute, and will grow.

Stay Tuned - God is moving in our colleges and universities in Portland. We have a growing desire and sense a stirring in our hearts to bless what he’s doing - encouraging, equipping and pouring fuel on the fire in the hearts of our students. If you’re a student at PSU, UP, Reed, Lewis & Clark, George Fox or any other school in the city, please reach out to us! We’d love to partner with and support you as you live and serve on your campus.
Do What Jesus Did
-
We need Young Adults leading, taking ownership and responsibility for their church. We long to see young adults serving and playing their part in every aspect of our 5pm gathering. From leading pre-gathering prayer, serving with the kids, participating prayer ministry response or helping with hospitality.
-
Post 5 PM gathering hang for young adults at Steeplejack just a 5 minute walk from church.
On the first Sunday of every month we break bread together after the 5pm gathering. It’s an opportunity to reconnect, establish relationships, and tell testimonies of what God is doing.
