HF está entrando en una nueva etapa de mayor madurez en el discipulado, abrazando el llamado de Cristo no solo a creer, sino a hacer discípulos que hagan discípulos. Reconocemos que la fe auténtica reproduce la vida de Cristo en otros. Por esta razón, lanzamos el Certificado en Discipulado, una formación centrada en Cristo diseñada para equipar a cada creyente a compartir el evangelio de manera clara, bíblica y sólida. Este curso va más allá de transmitir información; se enfoca en la formación, arraigando a los discípulos firmemente en la verdad del evangelio y preparándolos para acompañar a otros en su crecimiento espiritual. Cada participante recibirá profundidad espiritual y herramientas prácticas para caminar junto a nuevos creyentes, modelar una transformación genuina a través de la Palabra de Dios y servir activamente en la misión de Cristo.

Community Basics is our new member class designed to help you take the next step at Village. Together we’ll explore our mission, core values, and distinctives as an intercultural community in Christ, and what it means to belong to this church family.

[Study]

This ongoing, come-as-you-can class helps you grow closer to God! Want spiritual mentoring in a safe small group? "Make Room for Jesus" explores what Scripture says about following Jesus through a mixture of practical teaching, discussion, and sharing personal applications. You are welcome to join a group weekly or whenever you can make it.

[Gathering]

You are warmly invited to join us for a shared time of studying Scripture together. Meetings will include a brief teaching on key principles of how to read the Bible, followed by open discussion. Rather than following a rigid curriculum, we hope to study Scripture together attentively, listening for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we go.

[Training]

We are thrilled to host this important and valuable Conflict Transformation training, in alignment with our church Vision Statement: We envision an intercultural community of Jesus-following disciples, committed to representing the risen Christ:

• Sharing the Whole Gospel
• Befriending across Boundaries
• and Peacemaking in the World

This training, led by peace ministries leaders of the MCC and EMU, equips individuals and teams with the tools they need to navigate conflicts and respond to harms with clarity and compassion. This opportunity is both open to the public and to Villagers. Discounts are available if the cost is prohibitive.

[Study]

A regular time of gathering around Scripture. We’ll meet on Zoom, focus on listening to the Bible through an audio reading, and enjoy a brief and meaningful time of sharing as we reflect.

Come journey together through the Gospels. Everyone is welcome, whether this is your first time or your hundredth time opening the Bible! Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and let’s listen for God’s voice together.

[Class]

ReFrame is a 10-week, film-based experience followed by guided small group conversations, offered especially for Village members ages 55–70 who are prayerfully considering the next season of life. This season often brings important transitions, such as retirement, new rhythms, and fresh questions about calling and legacy, and ReFrame offers space to reflect on them through the lens of the gospel.

Together, we will explore how to encounter Christ in the ordinary circumstances of daily life and deepen our understanding of how to reorient our lives around Christ’s ongoing purpose and presence.

[Converation]

The “sandwich generation“ are people who straddle between being parents of older children, while also balancing caring for elderly parents. How do we live out our responsibilities and duties in this extra stretched moment? What does God call us to do and be at this stage of our lives?

Join Pastor Sue Park-Hur, cofounder of ReconciliAsian, as she leads us in an evening together as Christ following disciples seeking God’s guidance in this moment of our lives.

[Book Club]

Facilitator: Jack Morgan

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape our world, what does it mean to be human, to bear God’s image, and to live faithfully in Christ? You are invited to join a thoughtful and open Book Club conversation around John Lennox’s ‘2084 And the AI Revolution: How Artificial Intelligence Informs Our Future (Zondervan, Updated Edition, 2024).’ We will explore the promises, questions, and challenges of the AI revolution from Christian perspectives. This will not be a lecture or a debate, but a shared space for learning, listening, and discerning together as a missional, intercultural community in Christ.

Whether you feel excited, cautious, curious, or unsure about AI, you are welcome. Come ready to reflect and engage in in meaningful dialogue about faith, technology, and the future of humanity.

[Workshop]

This writing workshop is an opportunity for you to start, or continue, writing your life story. What events shaped your life? What has delighted, distressed, bludgeoned, blessed you into who you are today? What is your earliest memory? Who are you in Christ? What have you learned?

If you don’t tell your story, who will? How will you be remembered? We will provide writing prompts, ideas about how to approach the topics, and, if you’d like, editing help.

Note: This is NOT a writing class. This is an interactive, collaborative workshop. This will require a willingness to read each other’s work, kindly suggest ideas for further reflection and improvement, and thoughtfully consider suggestions about your own writing. Through the course, you might end up writing the first draft of your memoir – a testimony to your God, yourself, and the beloved ones!

A class for all adults who desire strong Bible teaching and wonderful fellowship. We meet in the Willamette Rooms, 9:15 fellowship time from 9:15 until 10:15 every Sunday morning between the worship services. Please join us! More Info

DNA Groups are our small group ministry at Village. We meet in small groups during the week to grow in our faith together as we seek God's guidance in our lives. This is a model we see in the Gospels, as a significant part of Jesus' ministry was spent in small groups of disciples, and as the early church formed in people's homes. More Info
