I've never felt as though I am a part of the congregation for whatever reason. What concerned me a little is there stance during the pandemic. I think they were opposed to wearing mask and that was strange to me. I plan to give them one more chance to "win" me over with their credibility in being a church that is firm in the Word of God, no fillers. My faith is everything to me and my desire is to grow in knowledge and wisdom. Looking forward to connecting in a womens bible study.

My husband and I had some difficult experiences in the past that made us nervous and bitter about even trying to find a new church. In the last couple of years we were open and looking but nothing stood out to us. I just so happened to find out that a recent concert I wanted to attend was being held at this church. This inspired me to start my research, as usual. This is what I usually do and end up talking myself out of it, but this time was different. I was going through a tough time and submitted a prayer request online. I had done so to other churches in the past and most of the time I never got a response, got one weeks later, or just an automatic reply. What a blessing it was that I got a response within a few hours, with a private and personal message from Pastor Jen. She told me exactly what she was praying for me for, and let me know that I could have a pastor call me to pray over the phone as well as many other sources of help and community. I felt the love and warmth. Not only do I believe her prayer was in perfect timing, I received a resolution message at the exact minute that she sent me her prayer email. What a blessing! I was then inspired and found their social media. I saw they had a women's friendship coffee on the first Sunday of every month, the very next day. I responded to their post and they promptly let me know that they would LOVE for me to attend and meet some other women who are also doing the best they can during this difficult life. I felt that message was also very genuine. Needless to say, I went, met some very lovely women, found out about ALL the groups and programs they offer and even stayed for worship service. I couldn't believe how comfortable I felt at this place. You wouldn't think that when you first see the size of this church but now I see why the size is necessary. They are a growing community, loving and open to learning how to live more like Jesus and be his disciples. Amen! I have found my home! The greatest part is that, I was so moved that my husband took notice and was excited to come join me for worship services in the future. If you're looking for a great place to learn and worship Christ, give this place a chance. I always thought that a small and intimate church was the way to go, this was very judgmental of me. This place IS intimate. You can hide away in a corner or be right where the action is. I am so glad that I was proven wrong, and I cannot wait to get involved.

Sadly, some folks who have had personal issues with people who attend or attended the church are using this platform to express their hurts. As a lesbian grandma, who brings my grandkids to church, I do not agree with the negative posts. Please visit us and make your own decisions if you are looking for a safe place to be yourself. My wife and I have been attending this church for about 7 years. We have both held many positions in the church, including board president for 2 years. This church has worked very hard to be a truly welcoming congregation to marginalized groups, especially the trans community. At this time in history, safe places of faith for trans folks are few and far between. We feel honored that so many trans people call us their church community. In addition, we are not a traditional church in that we believe that each person's spiritual path is their own. We have people who identify as Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Pagan, and more who attend our church and feel it is a welcoming community for them. We have a lot to do at the church besides a Sunday service: book club, monthly movie night, board games night, potlucks, summer concerts, and more. Check our calendar on the web page, and visit and see for yourself!

The entire church community welcomed our family of seven with open arms, and we quickly formed meaningful friendships, including for our kids. We feel incredibly blessed to have found this gem of a church. We joined a "life group" right away, which helped us understand the church's values and direction. God's presence is truly felt here, and we are grateful to call this our church home. Although I wasn't attending this church during the COVID-19 pandemic, I know there is a live YouTube stream available at 11 AM on Sundays. Due to a past surgery that removed my spleen, I'm considered "high risk," and I did contract COVID-19, but thankfully, I recovered well. "Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" - Matthew 6:27 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;" - Proverbs 3:5 The Nehushtan was a metal serpent mounted on a staff that Moses had made, by God's command, to cure the Israelites of snake bites while wandering in the desert. There is no medical explanation it is just God watching over his sheep. I believe the Serpent on the Staff represents the staff Moses through in front of the Pharaoh that turned into a snake... God turned wood... into a living reptile... I don't think I will ever understand that.

We had just moved into the area, and the Womens Ministry had a baby shower for me, just a short 7 months after I started attending the church. By the loving actions of various people in the church, as well as the church establishment, I have had help moving, help with car problems, help paying a heating bill, and also have had people in the church take care of my children when I needed it. I have always been encouraged, but never pressured to get involved in ministry which, by the grace and leading of God, I am able to do in several ways. There is a large elderly population here, but also a growing number of young families and a staff that really cares about seeing people grow in their faith and encourages people to get out there and do the work that God has for you. If you are looking for a church, I would strongly suggest checking this one out. These people take "Church Family" very seriously!

I'm sad it's likely that I can not be an "Athey Creeker". I was first attracted to what was then…read morecalled Athey Creek Christian Fellowship when my brother recommended the verse-by-verse bible teaching of it's pastor and founder, Brett Meador. I'm sure he's as warm, friendly and personable as he sounds on audio, and appears in video. However, attending numerous services over they years, 'Pastor Brett' is kind of like the Wizard of Oz. He appears through the magic wall-size video screen -- teaches -- and disappears when he's finished. It's obvious that with such a large following that he can't be everyone's 'personal pastor' -- thus Athey has a dozen or more sub-pastors. Sadly, those with whom I've interfaced are quite unlike the kindly Pastor Brett. The warmness of Pastor Brett seems to end with him. It feels like a "cold" church otherwise. The church eschews 'greeters'. After hassling with parking, families and couples rush into the church, check in their kids, reserve their seats, grab coffee and chat with their long time friends. Every time I've visited the church in person, I stood near the 'barn doors' and smile at folks rushing in. I've been mistaken for a greeter; I let them know I'm not, just looking for friendly people to meet. In all of the encounters, two different men stopped to chat for a moment. At the end, no one lingers; everyone rushes for the door, trying to make it to their vehicles and out of the parking lot. I've been a few of their men's group meetings. Especially since my Christian brother and friend have passed away, I've been hoping to make male Christian friends. Again, arriving early; smiling; reaching out saying "hello, how are you, I'm ....." -- it's meet with a coolness and indifference that's positively chilling. It's interesting that no one can become a 'member' of Athey Creek Church - they claim not to have membership roles. Calling for prayer recently, I was met with biblical scolding by a pastor on the telephone. I'll chalk it up my not expressing myself and my situation well at the time. It made me very sad at the time, feeling that I'd "lost my church". But then, I realized, I've never been accepted as a "member" anyway. Still, Brett's bible teaching is still exceptionally good. I watched again today, from home.

Portland Mennonite Church is something really special. It's honestly rare to find a congregation…read morethat is not only welcoming on the surface, but genuinely supportive, deeply kind, and meaningfully connected in the way people show up for each other here. What stands out most is that this is a truly lived expression of progressive, justice-oriented faith -- not just language or branding, but real action. There's a clear commitment to social justice, community care, and mutual support that you can actually feel in the room. People here don't just talk about values, they practice them. The diversity of the community is also incredible -- across ages, identities, sexualities, and gender expressions -- and it's not tokenized, it's celebrated and platformed. LGBTQ+ inclusion isn't just "accepted," it's visible, affirmed, and woven into leadership and community life in a way that feels authentic and intentional. There's also a strong sense of community that's hard to describe until you experience it. It's active, close-knit, and genuinely relational -- people want to know you, spend time with you, and support you. Whether it's through events, small groups, outreach, or just conversations after a gathering, there's a real culture of care here. If you come to even one event, you'll see it immediately -- this isn't performative, it's real. Portland Mennonite is a place where people are building something meaningful together, and it shows.
