Background
In the Spring of 2016, a few youth workers from SE Portland with similar interests in more expansive possibilities for the greater church body began to meet together regularly. We pondered how together we might provide more transformative experiences for youth, based partially on our collective 40+ combined years of youth ministry, but more especially on where the Spirit seemed to be leading in new ways! For nearly 6 months, we met and dreamed about how we might serve youth more fully together, before officially kicking off the ‘SE Portland Youth Collective’ activities, starting in the winter of 2016/2017 with the longings we identified for our youth. We’ve been adapting and experimenting together ever since! |
