SUNDAYS, 9:00 & 10:30 AM“UNTIL CHRIST IS FORMED IN YOU!” GALATIANS 4:19

Jesus never called people to become church members, converts, or even Christians. He called them to be changed into His likeness. Though that transformation into Christlikeness begins at salvation, it is brought into increasing fullness in the simple but intentional journey of discipleship. That’s what Jesus is calling His followers to: a journey of simple but intentional discipleship. He wants us to grow! He invites us to become practitioners of His life, full apprentices in His ministry, fully devoted to His Word and so thoroughly saturated in His Presence that we act, think and live as Jesus would if He were living in our place. For those who make that journey, He promises the incomparable delight of being transformed into His likeness—and, of being used as His agents of transformation in this world. That is The Journey for Portland Christian Center in 2019. And you’re invited.

That is why we passionately pray, “God, send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind” (Psalm 67:2). Today, whether you are with us for the � rst time, or you have been with us for a lifetime, we invite you to join us in this most incredible, missional adventure!

May you be blessed,

Pastor Ray and Linda Noah

SUNDAYS, 9:00 & 10:30 AM“UNTIL CHRIST IS FORMED IN YOU!” GALATIANS 4:19

Jesus never called people to become church members, converts, or even Christians. He called them to be changed into His likeness. Though that transformation into Christlikeness begins at salvation, it is brought into increasing fullness in the simple but intentional journey of discipleship. That’s what Jesus is calling His followers to: a journey of simple but intentional discipleship. He wants us to grow! He invites us to become practitioners of His life, full apprentices in His ministry, fully devoted to His Word and so thoroughly saturated in His Presence that we act, think and live as Jesus would if He were living in our place. For those who make that journey, He promises the incomparable delight of being transformed into His likeness—and, of being used as His agents of transformation in this world. That is The Journey for Portland Christian Center in 2019. And you’re invited.

SMALL GROUP LEADER TRAININGSATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 9:00 - 11:00 AM

Portland Christian Center, as we embark on a journey of growth in 2019, part of God’s plan for us is to grow together…in community. This year, we want to increase the kinds of communities that you can be a part of by introducing small groups. Small groups are intentional gatherings of people who meet regularly to do life together, study and discuss God’s Word and apply it to their lives. If you would like to host a small group, we invite you to join us for the leadership training on either Saturday, February 2 from 9:00 -11:00 AM or Sunday, February 24 from 12:00 - 2:00 PM at the Portland Christian Center Campus.

If you have led a Tables For 8 group, hosted a table in a Sunday class, lead a class, or have always wanted to host a group, leadership training is for you. Lead by Pastor Matt Blankenship, training will begin with a meal and then move into how to start, lead and grow a group. Childcare is available as well. Sign up online today at pcctoday.com/small-group-training.
