Community Service
As we are shaped by our sacred story and sustained by our common table, our desire is that the animation of love moves us into overflowing generosity and care for the wider Portland community. Below you’ll find many opportunities to volunteer with non-profit organizations doing good work in our city. Whether you sign up as an individual or with your home group, partnering with local causes is one way we embody Divine Love!
