Have you ever wondered how your teenager’s spiritual journey is developing in the midst of this fragmented culture? Do you wonder what role you can play? Keynote speaker Dr. Chap Clark will talk with parents about what biblical discipleship looks like in our homes, and how parents with authentic faith have the best chance of leading their children into a lifetime of commitment to God and His kingdom work. You will come away from this evening with a fresh look at parenting teens and pre-teens.

Feb 25th
Join other parents and students for Potluck in the Park on Sunday, March 14th, from 2:30-6:00pm.
UPDATE: We recently received word recently that we must postpone partnering with Potluck in the Park until mid/late April (likely 4/18 or 4/25).
In the meantime, join an all-church serving opportunity on March 13th, Saturday morning (9am-Noon), serving with our hands at Marshall High School in the downtrodden Lents neighborhood of Portland. Details here.
Sorry for the switch on you — we desire to create avenues for people to experience serving as a family.
