Pleasant Valley Church is experimenting with a tiny solution to the challenges of coordinating small groups in a large community.

Last fall, Conference leaders announced a strategic realignment of Conference ministry to meet continued financial challenges. In the ensuing months, the team has been hard at work to develop the vision and clarify how Conference ministry leadership and support will continue.

During this year's Oregon Prayer Conference, attendees enjoyed a journey of prayer, reflection, and community revival.

Each year Union-level Pathfinder Bible Experience and the Pathfinder Area Coordinators Convention rotates between conferences in our union, and this year the Oregon Conference had the honor of hosting our fellow Pathfinder communities!

This March, more than 100 elders and pastors undertook a weekend of training and growth together at the first of two spring Elders Training events which included preaching workshops, leadership training, roundtable discussions and planning activities, and much more.

In 2024 the communication and media teams for Oregon, Washington, and North Pacific Union embarked on a journey to connect a growing community of digital creators in the Pacific Northwest and beyond through Creators Lab. This year, they continued that journey in Tacoma, Washington!

After years of experience, including meeting specific leadership benchmarks, receiving an assessment of their leaders, and going through a personal review with Conference leaders, a pastor’s journey culminates with ordination or commissioning. The Oregon Conference has recently seen five pastors affirmed through ordination to gospel ministry.
