Fall 2023
It's fall and we're starting up Sunday School again! Our classes and gatherings mainly run on Sunday mornings at PMC (or next door at SE Uplift) and start after church at 11am. Current classes will run from Sept. 17 through Oct. 15. Classes are aimed at adults but all ages are welcome.
Voices of Conscience LEADER: Jay Beaman
In connection with the exhibit at Lewis & Clark College, this class will explore the histories of those who were conscientious objectors to participation in the military. 11:00 AM Sundays Location: SE Uplift (Next Door) |
Theology & DisabilityLEADER: Cody Bivins-Starr
Experiencing disability opens various possibilities for new understandings of what it means to be human. This class explores the Christian tradition and its core theological ideas through the lens of disability, addressing areas of tension, areas of promise, and seeking new ways of participating in God’s community of belonging. 11:00 AM Sundays Location: Church Office ![]()

Adult Faith Formation Resources from Past Classes
What is Faith Formation?
Faith Formation at Portland Mennonite Church strives to form a bridge between our Christian faith and everyday lives. Our programs are intended to invite people of all ages to grow in faith. At PMC we are striving to be an Anabaptist community, together, with our children, by the grace of God, that is shaped by the life of Christ, that acts with the compassion of Christ, and worships in the name of Christ.
