Prayer Requests

  • The Northwest District of Foursquare is already hard at work at using a pastoral profile to find a permanent Senior Pastor for Faith Center. Please join us in praying for discernment, wisdom, and energy for the search committee and for them to be led to the exact person our church needs as its Senior Pastor.

  • As Russell moves into this new role, there are a number of practical needs they have to settle in including the sale of their house in Eugene, permanent residence in Portland, integrating into a new community, and the development of a brand new role and team within the Foursquare denomination. Please join us in praying for God to prepare the way for Russell and Anna.

  • It is undeniable that the past handful of years, we’ve experienced tremendous growth as a church that is on mission to Reflect God’s Presence and Release Generations. Through our Youth ministries, Men’s and Women’s ministries, North of 55 ministry, Jubilee, Tables, and so many more, God’s hand has been over our church. Pray with us in faith that God will continue to bless our church in each area of ministry.
