Make Portland Holy,one soul at a time.

Our church family and friends are raising $100,000 toward a Mission Center in downtown Portland, right where people are getting saved. Every dollar goes toward the building, and those who sow share the same reward as those who go. Whether it's $10 or $20,000, each gift helps make this possible.

What's happening in Portland

Portland was on the news as one of the most godless cities in America. But not for long. Every week our teams walk the streets downtown, and we have been seeing addicts set free, women walking out of the strip clubs, and gang members saved, cleaned up, and preaching on the same corners they used to run.

In just the last two months, over 200 people have received salvation on those streets. The problem is what happens next. We've invited many of them to our church across town, and then we never see them again. It's simply too far from where we met them.

So we're moving to where the harvest is. A building near Pioneer Square and PSU campus, steps from the busiest corner in the city, where new believers can be baptized, discipled, and sent back out, without ever leaving their neighborhood.

Watch how Jesus transforms lives

Why now

Our lease on our current building is almost up, and we're being asked to leave very soon. At the same time, God has opened a door downtown: a building where thousands of people walk past every day, many of them the very ones we meet on the streets.

The down payment is due November 11, 2026. Our church family's part is the first $100,000, and $11,090 of it is already in.

A Mission Center in the heart of the city

Steps from the city's busiest square and PSU. A place to encounter Jesus, be discipled, and be sent back out, with the city's busiest square right outside the door.

Dear church family and friends,

Before we planted Walk After Christ, we spent ten years as mission pastors and itinerant ministers carrying the Gospel to Africa, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico and beyond. In 2019 God told us to treat Portland as our mission field. Since then we've watched more than 3,000 people give their lives to Jesus in this city.

Many of you have stood with us on those streets, in our services, outreaches and in prayer, and you've seen it with your own eyes: Portland is good soil. Every seed sown here has been coming up a hundredfold, and now the harvest needs a home. Those who go and those who send share in the same reward. Would you prayerfully consider joining us to help establish a permanent mission base?
