Street church bringing love and community to our neighbors.
Join us for hope and bread in East Portland
Center the Marginalized
We offer a space where all are welcome and all are fed, and we hope you will join us. We gather outside as a street church in a park. All people who attend our gatherings are included in decision-making and in charting the course of who we are. We do not rely on professionals or experts to tell us how to form community; our members with lived experience of extreme vulnerability and poverty are our best teachers.
Accompany the Vulnerable
We meet our neighbors where they are and accompany them, when asked, through challenges and crises of life on the streets, offering sacramental as well as pastoral care.
Gather in Community
Housed and unhoused neighbors gather regularly to share gifts of time, attention, nourishing food, creativity, and non-judgmental hospitality. We offer a place where there are no “others,” where we don’t know who is being served and who is serving.
Advocate
Volunteers and friends show up in the courtroom, in the hospital, and in the public square to help raise the concerns of those whose voices often go unheard but who are often disproportionately impacted by the decisions of those in power.
“Imagination is the antidote to helplessness.”
