We are a community church of the homeless and mentally ill in Gresham and North Portland. We seek to serve each other and to teach each other how to be disciples on the street, in low income housing, in community and wherever else we live.
What are services like?
VERY informal, interruptions. But a lot of people getting their needs met, both for their bodies and in community. We love Scripture and we love to pray for each other.
What is the community like?
Poor. Deep desire to serve. Very homeless-focused.
What if I'm not a Christian?
You are welcome! You can share your objections, concerns, doubts-- we have them too! Bring your needs and we'll share them and do what we can to meet them.
