Women
Portland Women is a beautiful, multifaceted group of women from different backgrounds and seasons of life. As women who understand that we are magnificently designed on purpose by our Creator and that connected and united as one, we are stronger and shine brighter…revealing the light of heaven in our homes, communities, and the world! It is our desire to bridge women to Christ through weekly groups and events by studying God’s Word together and equipping women to use the gifts and talents God has given them.
Our regular gatherings:
Women’s Tuesday Bible Study
Tuesday, January 11, 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM
We will be starting the Women’s Bible Study on Tuesday, January 11th. Our first study will be the DVD series by Kelly Minter “Encountering God” and will be for eight weeks.
About the Study
Spiritual disciplines are essential to a more vibrant spiritual life and knowing God more intimately.
Join Kelly Minter in this eight-week Bible study as she unpacks the biblical foundation for these sacred habits along with approachable ways to practice disciplines like prayer, study, worship, rest, simplicity, generosity, celebration, and many more. Instead of being just one more thing on your to-do list, you’ll find that these habits of faith can actually create more margin in your life—providing peace and rest as you walk closer with Jesus.

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.
Missions
Taking the whole gospel to the whole world!
