Excerpt from Bible Study Book by Ann Voskamp: “What really counts in your life? It’s only in the expressing of gratitude for the life that we already have that we discover the life that we’ve always wanted… a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. And only then can we come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved — by God.”

Worship
Portland Christian Center’s worship community leads the church in worship through music. We believe that music is a language that communicates the joy and hope of the Christian life. It is an expression of our worship and devotion to the one true God. There are opportunities for you—no matter your age—to use your gifts and talents instrumentally and vocally to glorify God.
