Mission Possible: Family & Children’s Ministry, with Becca Ellis. Series: Mission Possible: Living the Spacious and Radical Love of Jesus so that all might flourish. A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: Matthew 18:1-6; Matthew 19:14.
This Sunday, we welcome Becca Ellis, our director of Family and Children’s Ministry to bring our message and remind us that living the spacious and radical love of Jesus is not an extracurricular activity. But it’s central to our faith and central to what it means to be a follower of Jesus. These are extraordinary times that need extraordinary love.
About the Series, Mission Possible: Living the Spacious and Radical Love of Jesus so that all might flourish.: The commitment of First Presbyterian for the past 120 years, "to ground ourselves in the love of Christ so that we might be the presence of Christ’s love in Central Oregon and throughout the world" has not changed. However, the pandemic, the epidemic of gun violence, racial unrest, political divisions, mental health crisis and so much more over the last two years has dramatically changed the landscape around us. It has dramatically changed our lives. And, it has also dramatically impacted church life and community. This fall series will highlight the urgency of our Mission and Strategic Priorities and the opportunities to contribute in our worship and sermons.

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.
We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
