Pastor and ministry leaders from many churches all over the Portland metro area meet the last Thursday of every month at 9 AM at Mt. Angel. The goal of this monthly rhythm is to create space for God and one another. We offer a few connection points throughout the day. We gather at 9 for prayer on the bottom floor of the Retreat Center. We gather again for noon prayer with the monks and lunch in Mt. Angel. We end the day with a beverage at the Benedictine Brewery. All gatherings are optional invitations.

While the complex challenges of houselessness in our community are sobering, we believe that solutions will arise as local churches, nonprofits, and community leaders work together. The PDX Houseless Care Collaborative was established to help foster a greater network of relationships among leaders from the faith community and local organizations that serve the houseless. As we see these new connections grow, we strive to nurture a diverse community of partners who are committed to the core values of Collaboration, Generosity, Hope, and Honor.

Nonprofit and church leaders are invited to join us for lunch. Please RSVP below.

Dr. Felicia Wu Song: Discipleship in a Digital Age

What is the Good News for a culture driven by the promises of productivity and digital technologies? We will examine how our contemporary digital practices function as “liturgy” that train our souls away from the Kingdom of God and suggest how Christian witness today can be rooted in a journey towards genuine communion with God that is framed by freedom in our relationships with our digital devices.

This summer, we served together.

This June-August, churches across the Portland metro area came together for a Summer of Service for our houseless neighbors and the organizations that walk alongside them. We’re coming together for lunch on September 12th to celebrate this effort. This lunch is for both faith communities and nonprofits involved in houselessness.

THIS SUMMER — LINK ARMS, LIFT JESUS HIGH, BE THE CHURCH.

Churches all around Portland will come together in a season of service and prayer, culminating in a worship gathering on the waterfront on the afternoon of Sunday, July 23rd. We want to give God all the glory for how He is using churches in Portland to be His hands, feet, and mouth! Let’s celebrate and witness to our metro area that we serve a God who is worthy of our praise. We can’t wait for the light of Christ to shine on this evening.

Every Sunday for the three months leading up to the Together 2023 worship night on the waterfront, we have gathered in times of extended worship and prayer on Sunday evenings in Old Town Portland. This week, we will instead meet to prayer walk the waterfront in preparation for July 23rd. Meet at the Garden Church no later than 7:30. We will plan to return by 9 PM for a quick debrief and communion together.

We believe Old Town is a key area that has long been a stronghold for homelessness, drug dealing/addiction, and prostitution/sex trafficking, with a long history in the area that does not make this surprising.  All of these are issues many churches are focusing on in prayer and service. Our heart is to host intentional, focused prayer in this space during the Summer of Service.

Every Sunday for the three months leading up to the Together 2023 worship night on the waterfront, we are inviting people to join us in blocks of extended worship and prayer on Sunday evenings in Old Town Portland. Anyone is welcome to come pray any time between 6 pm and midnight, with key hours of corporate, unified prayer between 7:30 - 9 pm.

Several times a year, ServePDX hosts opportunities to foster deeper connections between pastors and ministry leaders from all across the Greater Portland Metro Area. Join us June 20th for a time to connect relationally—no ask or real agenda, just a time to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. We’ll have some fun snacks, dessert, and drinks provided. This is also a great opportunity to see the new Mission Increase office, as they do such great Kingdom work in our community!

Understanding Portland's Homeless Crisis + What We Can Do About It

In the past two years, Portland has seen a 23% rise in homelessness and has been declared a state of emergency. What factors have given rise to this humanitarian crisis in our city? And how are we as followers of Jesus called to respond? On Sunday June 11th, River West is partnering together with Cedar Mill Bible Church to host a forum to lean into these questions. Participants will not only walk away better informed but also challenged to engage in strategic efforts that are successfully helping transition homeless individuals off the streets into long-term housing, recovery, and employment programs. 

Presenters will include Doug Marshall (Founder, Hope for The Homeless Foundation), Lance Orton (Exec Dir, City Teams), Rhona Mahl (Exec Dir, Transitional Youth), along with Pastor Christopher (Mission Pastor, River West Church) and Pastor Ashley Bell from Cedar Mill Bible Church.
