Journey Forward
Leader: Jay Beaman & Brandon Rhodes
Location: TBD
The Mennonite Church USA is on a journey. The Spirit is at work on our denomination and we are discovering the things both new and old that this next chapter has for us. In this class we will be going deep into our denominational "Renewed Commitments"--commitments to follow Jesus, witness to God's peace and experience transformation. Join us as we anchor ourselves in our core commitments, discern the Spirit's movement today and guess at what might be coming tomorrow!
Class runs March 3-June 2

Oregon: History of a White Utopian Dream
Leaders: Kris Voss-Rothmeier
Location: The Old Chapel
This six-week class begins on April 28th with an examination of the legacy of control of resources in the city of Portland by white Europeans. On May 5th, Leroy Chupp and Phil Hostetler will talk about the involvement of PMC as a mission church in African American neighborhoods in Portland and their own experiences living and worshipping with people of color. After the retreat on the coast, the class will resume on May 19th. In the last four sessions (May 19th to June 9th) we will explore the unfolding history of Oregon from the earliest European explorers in the late 1700s to modern day, a history pockmarked by white control of resources and a pervasive desire to create a white utopia.

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.
