Come join others from Pearl for an informal summer evening enjoying Macleay Park in Northwest! Bring a park blanket, snacks, kids and dogs for a causal meet-up. There are some beautiful short trails to explore as well. This is a great way to meet others at Pearl Church or catch up with home group members after a long summer break. We'll be there between 6pm and 8pm. Questions? Contact Pastor Ben.

Membership is for those who appreciate Pearl’s work and desire to more deeply participate. The purpose of membership is to encourage an active engagement between Pearl Church and those who call Pearl “Home.” Membership benefits include an Annual Members’ Meeting, Monthly Updates from the Oversight Team, and intentional engagement regarding the direction of the church.

You belong at our table. And marching with us in Pride is a powerful way to show someone else they do too.

On July 19, Pearl is walking in the Portland Pride Parade—and we want you with us. Whether you're queer, straight, somewhere in between, or still figuring it out, there's a place for you in our group. Come march as yourself, fully.

Somewhere along that parade route, someone is standing on the sidewalk who has written off the church—likely because the church wrote them off first. When they see us, something shifts. They get to see a Christian community that welcomes them fully. A few of them found their way to Pearl because of that moment. You get to be part of that.

The parade runs 11am–2pm. We're about halfway through the lineup, so you'll have plenty of time to attend service with us first and head over after.

RSVP and we'll send you everything you need to know.

It's time for another beautiful hike—everyone is welcome to join! This is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get to know others at Pearl Church. We'll enjoy some waterfalls at Falls Creek Falls. This hike is located in Washington about 1.5 hr from Portland. This is a lovely 4.5 mile trail with 820 feet of elevation in the Gifford Pinchot Natl Forest. We will hike along Falls Creek in a lush forest to see a triple tier magnificent waterfall. After a nice lunch/snack break at the waterfall, we return on a loop to see a different section of the forest. The trail has a short climb to the loop section so be sure to wear good shoes and bring hiking poles if you have them.

We will meet at the Gateway Transit center at 8:30 am and carpool from there. This is a good spot for those who use public transit and has a large parking garage for those who will leave their car to carpool with others. The last few miles to the trail is a rugged forest road known to have large potholes. If you will be a driver, I would suggest driving a larger vehicle, mid-SUV probably.

Please be sure to bring water, snacks and lunch. I expect the duration of this day, including driving time will be 8:30 am - 3:00 pm.

Here is a link to the trail on AllTrails:

We would love to meet and warmly welcome you to our Pearl community.

Our kids and youth have worked hard and completed another year of school—time to celebrate! During the service we’ll get a chance to cheer for our kids and celebrate their milestones, and afterward there will be a party on the third floor terrace with frozen treats and snacks for all! Everyone is welcome to join us.

Come join us at the home of Valinda and Paul Harlan in Vancouver for an evening of conversation and connection while tasting wines! You are invited to bring a bottle under $20 to share; we will have a blind tasting and see which wines are our favorites. Snacks will be provided.

Pearl Church LGBTQIA+ community, come join us for a fun evening of trivia at Steeplejack Brewing! We've got a private room reserved, so it'll be a cozy, low-key night with good people and fun questions. Drinks and food will be available for purchase.

Whether you're a trivia buff or just here to have a good time, all are welcome — especially newcomers! This is a laid-back, no-pressure way to connect with others in the community and make some new friends. Questions? Contact Ben Conachan.

If you're new(er) to Pearl, you're invited to a casual reception following Sunday’s service where you'll have an opportunity to meet some of Pearl’s core members, ministry leaders, home group leaders, oversight team, and staff. We would love to meet and warmly welcome you to our Pearl community. You’re invited to pop in after our second service for light refreshments and casual conversation.

The Oversight Team is working on a three-year vision and wants to hear from you! A few months ago, a visioning questionnaire was sent to our members and home group participants to get their thoughts on all things Pearl. This was followed up by members of the Oversight Team visiting Home Groups to share what was heard and to ask more questions. If you consider Pearl home but aren’t in a Home Group or missed Home Group on the night members from the Oversight Team visited, we’d love for you to attend one of our upcoming Visioning Listening Sessions!

This event is full.

Come join us as we hike the Memaloose Hills Trail in Mosier, OR. This is a great way to get to know others at Pearl and enjoy the outdoors! Mosier is about 1 hr and 10 minutes outside of Portland, just past Hood River. This trail is about 3.5 miles, with 600 feet elevation gain. It has two medium hills to climb, which are covered in wildflowers, balsam root and lupine. There are great views of the Columbia River, Mt Hood, and a glimpse of Mt Adams.

Rachel McCown will be coordinating this hike. We will meet at the Gateway Transit Center at 9am and carpool from there. Please bring water, snacks and/or lunch for yourself. Long pants are suggested because poison oak and ticks are common at this time of year.

One service at 10:00am, potluck to follow

Join us on February 15, the Sunday before Lent begins, for our next all-church potluck! The theme this time is everyone’s favorite—BRUNCH! We will have one church service at 10:00am, all together. (Kids and youth will start the service in their programs to make more room to seat all our adults.) Then, following the service we’ll flip the room for our potluck! Everyone is welcome to join us and encouraged to bring a brunch-themed dish to share. You can sign up in the church lobby after services, or you can email bethf@pearlchurch.org to let us know you’re planning to join and what you'd like to bring.

Two Services: 5:00 & 6:30pm

Everyone is invited to join in the celebration on Christmas Eve! We’ll sing Christmas songs and read Christmas stories and listen to a Christmas homily about Divine Light shining in the darkness. We’ll light Christmas candles as a reminder that light truly does cast out all that is dark. Consider inviting family and friends to this special service. Please note: both services will be identical. The only difference is that the 5pm service will be the only service with toddler, preschool, and elementary offerings.

Do you enjoy singing? Come lend your voice in our Christmas Eve Choir. No audition necessary. All are welcome to join. Rehearsals will be held Dec 14 and Dec 21 from 11:45 - 1:00.

As Christmas nears, you’re invited to ponder the Rosary's Joyful Mysteries, which celebrate Jesus’ birth and early years of life. Following a brief orientation to the Rosary, we'll take time to appreciate the angelic annunciation, Mary’s visitation to Elizabeth, the nativity, the presentation of Jesus in the temple, and the finding of Jesus in the temple—which will provide a backdrop for our contemplation of what God is inviting us to birth into the world, in this season of our lives. Bring along your own Rosary. If needed, simple rosaries will be provided.
