Rainier Avenue Church

Welcome! Sunday Worship Service is at 10am,
both online & in-person!

Rainier Avenue Church (RAC), located just south of Columbia City in the Rainier Valley, works to bring wholeness in Jesus Christ to people across racial, cultural, and socio-economic lines. RAC is an anchor church in the community through its collaborations with local organizations such as Urban Impact, Coalition for Community Development and Renewal (CCDR), and the Rainier Chamber of Commerce. RA

C is a vital part of the Rainier Valley and the world because it serves as a gateway to link significant interaction among committed stewards who provide jobs, education and social services locally and abroad.

Update: thanks to everyone who RSVPed for the newcomers lunch so far!

Glad to have many chances to build community!

Remember, RAC's next storytelling event is coming up on Saturday! Our hope is that together we might engage in the practice of story in a way that deepens our trust in God, enlarges our compassion for others, and strengthens our identity as beloved friends of Jesus.

Happy Memorial Day weekend! With summer unofficially starting, be sure to reserve your spot for RAC's All-Church Retreat coming up July 17-19 at Cascades Camp! You can choose between staying in a lodge room, bringing your own tent/RV to camp, or coming up just for the day on Saturday. We'll have sessions led by RAC's appointed pastors, games and activities, evening campfires, and chances to connect with others at church more than we can do on a regular Sunday. Scholarships are available if cost is a barrier -- you can sign up now and choose "pay later" on the form and we'll reach out with scholarship options. Contact [email protected] with any questions, or use this link (also in our linktree) to save your spot: https://bit.ly/4vpjzEf. Hope to see you there!

Come show tangible love by our hands-on Community Garden Work Day! Next Saturday, May 23, join with other nature enthusiasts to care for the green spaces that bless our church and neighbors. Our main focus will be cleaning up the community garden beds and making a few simple landscaping improvements in front of the Naomi Cotton House. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect and enjoy time outdoors as a community. Tasks will be suitable for all ages and skill levels. Come for as long as you’re able 9am-noon. Together, we can cultivate a space that reflects hospitality and care for everyone who shares it!

We are sad to miss the chance to hear from Mending Wings this coming Sunday! Due to an unexpected family death, they will be participating in a funeral this Sunday and unable to visit as planned. We will take some time to pray this Sunday and will look forward to connect with them later this year. This week will still be Kids Up Sunday as scheduled, so kids grade K-5 will be included in the sanctuary. Please lift our friends up in prayer this week especially as they grieve. You can learn more about Mending Wings' ministry here: https://mendingwings.net/
