In Portland as it is in Heaven. In Portland as it is in Heaven

College students, gather with us Nov 20–21 for The College Conference to learn, worship, and connect with students from around the region. We’re partnering with voices from BibleProject, Barnabas Collective, Alpha, and more to equip you to live from a place of both practice and presence: passion for the presence of Jesus, and practicing the rhythms of Jesus’ life to be formed into his image.

Faithfulness to God doesn’t guarantee us an easy or pain-free life.

This Sunday, we continued the story of Joseph, a man deeply faithful to God and yet a man whose life sent him to the pit—literal and metaphorical—more than once. Through it all, God was with him. In Joseph’s story, we experience the truth that God is with us when things go right and when things go wrong.

God is with you in your unfolding story. God is with you in your grief. God is with you in our city, in our nation, in our time. God is with you.

From “Genesis Part 4: The Promise in the Pit.” Listen to the full teaching at bridgetown.church/teaching

It’s our joy to gather together every Sunday to worship King Jesus, share stories, open the scriptures, and respond in prayer.

Gather with us at 9 AM, 11 AM, and 5 PM every Sunday.

Some of God’s work is difficult to recognize while we’re in the middle of our own stories.

The story of Judah and Tamar is difficult to sit with, but it points to a truth that runs throughout Genesis: no human wrong is beyond God’s work of redemption. Even when we can’t see how our story could lead to anything good, God may be at work in ways we don’t yet understand.

As we continue the final part of our Genesis series, we’re invited to consider whether we can trust God to be at work, even in the hardest parts of our stories.

If you’re between the ages of 18-26, you’re invited to the College Conference where we will worship, learn, connect, and wait on the spirit together with students from around the region.

Bridgetown Young Adults is partnering with voices from BibleProject, Barnabas Collective, Alpha, and more to equip students to live from a place of both practice and presence: passion for the presence of Jesus, and practicing the rhythms of Jesus’ life to be formed into his image.

Some things are ours to carry. Others, we have to release.

Joseph couldn’t control what his brothers did to him, the circumstances he was placed in, or how his story would unfold. And neither can we. When we’ve been hurt, we often want acknowledgment, repair, or a different ending. Forgiveness doesn’t mean those things don’t matter. It means releasing the person who hurt us from our ongoing judgment and expectation, and letting go of the responsibility to control what happens next.

As we begin the final part of our Genesis series, we’re invited to consider what we’re holding onto and what it might look like to surrender it to God.

What a joy it was to host our first Family Formation Sunday!

We sang a brand new song from Bridgetown Music written with our kids in mind, and families gathering outside for a fun activity centered on remembering the story of God. It was beautiful to see our whole church family engaging in the life of our church in old and new ways!

We’re grateful for the opportunity to create space for parents and kids to grow as disciples together, and for a Sunday filled with connection, learning, and fun.

This Sunday, we will host Family Formation Sunday. After a special time of worship, parents and their children age 4 through 5th grade will gather outside under a tent for a simple, guided family activity centered on a practice from the life of Jesus. The Gathering inside will continue as normal with teaching and prayer.

Bridgetown Kids will be available for ages 0–3 at all Gatherings, and middle school will meet at 5 PM as usual. Parents, bring extra layers for the outdoors. All attending, please should allow extra time for parking.

What if your life is more consequential to God than you realize?

God’s promises aren’t confined to the pages of Scripture or the lives of people long ago. They’re just as real today, and we’re invited to listen, trust, and respond.

As we learn to follow the way of Jesus, we begin to see how our own stories fit into God’s work of renewing all creation.

This Sunday we concluded our series In Portland as it is in Heaven, hearing from pastors on our team about where the spirit is leading Bridgetown in the next season—into spiritual formation, family formation, and kinship.

We live as apprentices of Jesus, and our aim is for Gatherings to feel like a place where you can find your people. Our Associate Pastor Bethany Sumbela shared that starting next year, we will be adding a fourth Sunday worship Gathering. Joy Schlichter, our Pastor of Family Formation, shared some of the ways we hope to lead parents as the primary spiritual leader of their children. Finally, Eric Wood, our Pastor of Compassion, shared from his heart the ways we want to become as interruptible as Jesus, moved by compassion into justice, service, and kinship.
