River West Church

• Our Church
• Our City
• Our World

At River West Church, we believe that we have been placed in our city for a purpose bigger than ourselves. As the message of the Gospel has taken root in people’s lives, ordinary folks from our community have stepped out to serve our city in extraordinary ways! Each week, teams of folks gather underneath overpasses, in maternity homes, and in low-income hotel lobbies to love the poor of our city in Jesus’ name.

Below you’ll find several opportunities to join others from River West Church in serving our city.

Loving Our City
At River West Church we are incredibly passionate about loving our city in simple, practical ways. Each week near the stairs you’ll find cards with donation items that our local ministry partners need. Take one of these Loving Our City cards, purchase the item, and drop it off in one of the snazzy metal bins.

HOTEL Ministry
River West’s HOTEL ministry (which stands for “Healing Others Through Evangelistic Love”) exists to share Christ’s love with residents in Portland’s low-income hotels downtown. Each month, teams of dedicated servants from River West Church provide meals, groceries, visitations, and Bible studies.

Door to Grace
Today, right here in Portland, many minors are being trafficked for sexual exploitation. Federal and local law enforcement officials in Portland say they are encountering 3-5 girls per week who are victims of sex trafficking in our community. The vision of Door to Grace is to restore life to underage, female victims of sex trafficking.
