In a city known for self-reliance, loneliness, and cynicism we are compelled by the love of Jesus to live distinctly different lives.

We will contribute to a movement of courageous and resilient disciples – formed by God’s Word, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and sent by Jesus.

By 2025 we will equip and commission 500 people who break barriers, love neighbors, and uniquely contribute to more of God’s Kingdom coming to the Portland / Vancouver metro area and beyond.

We dream of a day when every cynic trusts the Savior, the lonely find a family, and every activist joins God’s mission.

1. The ways of Jesus: Discipleship 

We will make disciples of all generations who will apprentice to Jesus, learn to hear and respond to his voice, and grow in Biblical formation (Matthew 4:19, 28:18-20, John 10:27; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12-13)

2. The mission of Jesus: God’s Kingdom

We will equip and commission workers to seek and save the lost and bring healing and hope to a broken world (Matthew 9:35-38, 25:35-36; Luke 19:10; Luke 4:18-19). 

3. The body of Jesus: The Church Family 

We will live as God’s holy people – adopted into the family of God, distinct and unified, serving and loving one another, and led by Jesus (1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Ephesians 2:19, 4:4-6; Colossians 1:18-19; Galatians 6:9-10). 

4. The heart of Jesus: Worship 

We will recognize the Creator God and his holiness, power, love, beauty, and sovereignty and respond both privately and publicly with celebration, obedience, creativity, devotion, and raising holy hands to his name (Psalm 22:3, 63:4, 149:3-4; Matthew 4:8-10; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Timothy 2:8; Revelation 5:13).
