A CHURCH FOR PORTLAND

Sojourn is a diverse church forming in Portland that focuses on three main things: gospel, family, and mission. We do this by extending an invitation to those around us; regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status, or culture; to join us by experiencing the freedom and family at the table of Jesus. The message is clear that Jesus has come for all people, young and old, the displaced, those on the margins, people who've made a mess of their lives, and those that are ordinary. Jesus has come for you. At this table you will find a place to belong, a journey to be taken, where all things are being made new and united by Jesus. We hope that you consider joining us as we take this journey.

INNER EAST side

Our primary focus is the neighborhoods that make up the inner east side of Portland, which has its own distinct look and feel from the rest of the city. The East side of Portland makes up 80% of the city population with roughly 250,000 people. This area encompasses some notable districts like Alberta Arts District, Mississippi Avenue, Division Street, Hawthorne, and Sellwood-Moreland.  The largest education institution in Oregon, Portland Community College has two of their campuses on the east side of Portland with nearly 80,000 students enrolled annually; and other smaller schools such as Reed College, Warner Pacific, and Multnomah University are nearby adding thousands of more students to the area. The neighborhoods of east Portland make up a diverse area of the city, but also one that has been splintered in recent years by an ever-changing city. We are a church that wants to reflect the diversity found here and we welcome everyone to join us.
