Gospel Gathering with N.T. Wright
Join us as we welcome acclaimed theologian and author N.T. Wright to the Pacific Northwest to share his wisdom and insight during a powerful session on the topic, "Jesus, the Powers, and the Church" offering profound biblical truths and fresh inspiration.
“In Matthew 28, Jesus is declared to have all authority in heaven and on earth—this truth forms the foundation of the Church's mission. But how can the Church faithfully and wisely represent Jesus as the world's exalted King, especially in the face of opposition from the powers of this age? In a world marked by political division and resurgent totalitarianism, with leaders rising through fear and fragmentation, what does Christian witness look like? How can the Church of tomorrow authentically bear witness to the lordship of the crucified, risen, and ascended Christ in such a complex and fractured world?”
Hear Dr. Wright respond to these questions and more on Friday, February 7th at 8:30am. Tickets are $15, or $10 each for groups of 10 or more. Doors open at 8 AM. This event is sponsored by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and George Fox University/Portland Seminary. Register today!

Leading the Church as Men and Women: The Whole People of God for Ministry in the 21st Century
God made us male and female and has called both to lead the church together. But the complexities of playing this out in the 21st century have paralyzed many churches. As ministries have clarified their biblical teaching on gender, many do not yet have a biblical culture for how men and women can lead together.
Whether you are complementation, mutualist, egalitarian, or undecided, this lecture will help you consider how the Spirit might be leading us. For this free and public event, Dr. Amy Peeler—a renowned scholar, pastor, and professor at Wheaton College—will speak to the role men and women can play together as we look towards a new century of ministry in the West. How can we work better together? How can men support, develop, and serve well under and with women? How can women support, develop, and serve well under and with men? The event will include a public lecture by Dr. Peeler and a live Q+A with those who attend.

Amy Peeler (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is an Associate Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, IL and an Associate Rector at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Geneva, IL.

Gospel Gathering with Mark sayers
The Church and Culture with Mark Sayers

Mark is the senior leader of Red Church in Melbourne, Australia. He is passionate about spiritual renewal and the future of the church. Mark is the author of a number of books including Strange Days and Reappearing Church. Mark lives in Melbourne with his wife, Trudi, his daughter, Grace, and twin boys, Hudson and Billy.

City-Wide Church Multiplication Party
Dear Pastors, Disciple Making Catalysts, and Church Multiplication Leaders,
The Multiply PDX Team is excited to invite you to a city-wide dinner party and time of inspiration for church multiplication leaders in the Portland Metro area. The Spring Multiplication Party will highlight effective ways to Pastor and Shepard during an election year. We know that presidential election years are political and have the potential to be a strain for many under-shepherds, but faithfully leading God’s sheep through every season, including election, is a God given responsibility that we can be prepared, and equipped for. Matthew 19:26 reminds us that “with God all things are possible”; so if you are a Pastor/leader who could use a little extra encouragement this election year, join the party on May 17th and trust that God will give you just want you need to continue to shepherd well.
Join us for a night of networking, celebration, and inspiration. We can't wait to share this time with you. Please respond promptly to secure your spot at the event.
We look forward to seeing you there!
