Book Study
Sundays at 12:30 pm
Inspiration Room
Our Inspiration Room includes a library that offers Christian books and DVDs for all ages to check out for further study and enjoyment.
Wednesday Nights
On Wednesday evening we gather for dinner at 5:30 pm.
At 6:30 pm we meet for an hour on a variety of enriching topics or just to do something fun. It may be a teaching series where our pastors delve into a theme for a few weeks, a night of learning conducted by a leader in our community, or a bunco tournament.
It's an evening filled with community and laughter, and a great way to come together to learn something new.
Check the events page for details and specific dates.

Spiritual growth happens best when generations participate together. This is why we coordinate an intergenerational service project at least a couple of times a year. To date, we have worked together on a community garden and volunteered at Oregon Food Bank. Also, during Lent, we love it when all generations study together!
