A community group is an intentional gathering of people who meet regularly. Since God designed us for relationships, we believe it is through the connections made in Portland Communities that God will help us grow. Portland Communities are small groups for men, women, marriage and family, singles, young adults, youth, Bible study, live free, and various activities. Community groups meet consistently in locations all around the Portland area. With many groups to choose from, we believe there is a group out there for you.
