Portland Disciple-Making Conference
Where: Village Church, 330 SW Murray Blvd, Beaverton, OR 97005
When: Postponed to Fall 2020
Disciple-Making Friends,
We wanted to update you on our Portland D•Conference scheduled for April 30 - May 2. Due to the unfolding impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) across our nation and around the world, we will be postponing the D•Conference. Earlier this week, the state of Oregon banned all meetings over 250 persons for the next 30 days. Village, our host church for the conference, has moved all worship services to video streaming for at least the next four weeks. With these precautions being put in effect locally, we believe the wise decision is for us to postpone the D•Conference and look to reschedule it for the Fall.
Village, as many of your churches are, is focusing right now on caring for the needs of their people and their community, and is having important conversations about how they move forward as a church during this crisis. In the coming weeks, we’ll be having conversations with Village about a conference date for the Fall, and we’ll keep you informed as to our plans for rescheduling this event.
For those who have already registered for the Portland D•Conference, your registration will be forwarded to the event this Fall. If the new date presents a schedule conflict for you, we’ll credit your registration for one of our 2021 gatherings.
In the midst of our current global crisis, we as ministry leaders are presented with unique disciple-making opportunities. As the world searches for answers, for hope, the strength of our faith in Christ can shine bright like a city on a hill. The love of Christ needs to be seen and felt in our communities, and we are His hands and feet to bring His love to the helpless, hopeless, and hurting. Our team is praying for you. We’re praying for the church to rise up and meet the challenge in the days ahead.
Disciple-Making Together,
Doug Holliday
