Marriage & Family Invite! from Willamette Christian Church on Vimeo.

It’s hard to believe that an entire year has gone by since we moved into our new facility.

We just want to say THANK YOU to all of you who have made this church what it is: A caring community that loves God, loves people, and serves the world.

Check out some pictures below of our construction, move in, and dedication service. Also check out our “Greater Things” video for a glimpse into what we’re all about at Willamette Christian Church!

Our missions team has partnered with Forward Edge in the relief effort to help the victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. Please click the DONATE link below to make a contribution.

If you could ask God one question and you knew it would be answered, what would it be?

Christianity Explored gives you time and space to explore the big questions of life. It’s relaxed and informal. You don’t need to know anything about the Bible.

You can ask any question you want, or just sit and listen. It’s up to you.

At WCC, we view missions as an essential part of our church. We are committed to the mobilization of our own resources (prayer, monetary, and human) for the objective of reaching all peoples of the world for Christ. WCC supports both long-term missionaries in other countries, as well as those who wish to make a difference in the lives of the less-fortunate on a short-term basis.

There are so many needs all around the world for your love and support. Contact Shanon Vroman at 503.519.0569 or email shanonmv@comcast.net to discuss the ways you can serve the world. Here are some of the current opportunities:
