Last month, Pastor José was commissioned as a Navy chaplain – a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy working with the Navy Reserves.

“I always want to make sure that what I share is affecting people’s lives on Monday morning. When I think about ending a message I think, ‘What’s the big idea? What can we do with this?

On Sabbath, May 4, kids and their families arrived at the Holden Convention Center to host the second annual PDX Children’s Church in partnership with the Oregon Conference Children & Families Ministries department. Children's Church is a full worship service that’s led by kids and for kids. This year’s theme was Bugs! Big lessons from God’s smallest creatures!
