Welcome to the outreach ministries of The River
Our ministry center in the Portland neighborhood serves as a central point for residents to come and receive help and assistance in their community.
Site 61
Site 61, named after Isaiah 61, meets every Sunday morning at 10:30 and 5 pm. We minister the message of grace, identity and the finished work of the cross. We are seeing people giving their hearts to the Lord each and every week. Our goal is to raise up disciples who will truly be salt and light. Both salt and light are transforming agents meaning they transform their surroundings. Site 61 exists to transform their culture as Jesus taught us – to bring Heaven to Earth. You will love our services at Site 61 and the community of believers who really love each other. We are not interested in just being a church but we want to be a real community who love each other. We also have a fellowship meal every Sunday evening following our celebration service.
Urban Food Pantry
Each Monday we are feeding their bodies but also their spirit and souls as well. Our goal is to raise up disciples who will truly be salt and light. After working in the Portland community for over 12 years our Portland neighbors were asking us to start a church. Every week we have our food pantry and currently are serving an average of 100 families. Each Monday we are feeding their bodies but also their soul as well.
Urban Thrift Store
The Urban Thrift Store is a source of hope for those who cannot purchase basic necessities or need to shop on a budget. We are open year-round and offer gently used clothing and accessories for men, women and children.
Urban Bike Repair
For some, a bike provides more than just a ride – it is a solution to provide transportation to a grocery or a doctor appointment. Urban Bike Repair is a link to provide the resources to residents in Portland to maintain transportation.
