Forgiving one another

Accepting one another

Being hospitable

Relationship is the heart of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. I've learned that if noone else knows whats going on in my life, they are limited in how they can pray for me. As embarrasing as it can be, I have to be transparent. This strengthens my relationship with Christ as well as with others.

Connected? Involved? Curious? Consider getting involved in a home group. We have several groups meeting now, in both Estacada and the Sandy area. The calendar lets you know when they happen - if one doesn't fit your schedule, think about hosting or starting one!

These people make up the general group who keep things running each week; if you are looking for someone not listed, contact the office. If you are not listed and think you should be, let the webmaster know! Out of respect for privacy and anti-spam issues, we do not list email addresses online. We have a contact form that you may use to send email to them and they can then reply to you directly. Thanks!

Kary Gaskill, Childrens Ministries

Church Building

Kary and her family came to us about six years ago from a church plant in Portland. She coordinates our childrens ministries with an amazing team of leaders who have a heart for children and family. They all spend many hours each week investing in our community and our children.

She writes: "Teaching children is teaching me that things do not have to be perfect to make an impact on children. So often, Kids get what God is about; sometimes better than we do"

She would love to hear from you in regard to our childrens ministry. Contact her today!
