Community Groups (on summer break)

Our community groups are now on summer break. We'll begin announcing 2026-2027 group sign-ups again in early September with groups launching at the end of the month. Book Clubs and Church in the Park are the two ministries that fill some of the role of our Community Groups over the summer, so be sure to plug into those when the time comes. In the meantime, read on to hear more about our vision for community groups:

The biblical vision for the church is one of life lived together. The church community is described as a “fellowship” (Acts 2:42), as a single “body” comprised of many members (1 Corinthians 12:1114), and as a “family” (Mark 10:29-30). Community Groups are the primary way we try to get our people in close enough proximity to one another to make this vision a reality. We have Community Groups to know and experience Jesus Christ, and to experience Him together. 

At Northeast, our Community Groups are small groups (usually between 10-18 people) that meet weekly in homes across Portland to build relationships, eat together, pray, and discuss the Scriptures. They're an essential way we gather in more intimate communities to know and be known, to love and serve one another, in hopes that the relationships formed there will spill out beyond the formal group meetings into the spaces of everyday life. In many ways these groups are the backbone of our church. Our Community Groups re-shuffle each year, launching in September and ending in early May.

With any questions, for help getting plugged into a group, or even to inquire about potentially starting a new group, reach out to pastor Cameron Heger at cameron@doorofhopepdx.org.
