Parklane CRC offers ministries for the church and neighborhood that seek to advance God's kingdom and increase the common good of East Portland. Here is a list of the ministries we regularly participate in.
EVERYBODY – COME ONE, COME ALL!
Sunday School (All Ages) - 9:30 AM – Sunday school begins with a brief time of worship and prayer. We celebrate birthdays and collect an offering to support local ministries, such as those that fight trafficking. Following the worship time we go to our classes, which are divided into grades amongst students. For adults, we have two classes. The first is a bible study and the second focuses on relating our Christian faith to current cultural issues.
Sunday Worship - 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM - Our morning and evening worship services are designed to remind you of the gospel and root your life in Christ's love. You will experience a wide range of music, a gospel-centered sermon and a warm, family-like atmosphere. Nursery care is provided at both services.
NEIGHBORHOOD outreach
Oil Change – Three times per year, our parking lot becomes a sprawling oil change center. Feel free to call and get your name on the list to receive a free oil change. Appointments are scheduled in advance. Volunteers of all stripes are need to not only change oil, but to help check participants in, provide hospitality and refreshments, identify required filters, run for parts, shuttle cars around the lot, and more. We've been doing oil changes for over ten years and love this opportunity to serve and get to know our neighbors.
CHILDREN
WeBelongPDX - A free after school program available to students that foster the formation of trusted relationships, cultivate creative genius and help kids grow to be mentally well. Learn more about how you can get involved or support this ministry by contacting Sarah Lopez.
VBS – Vacation Bible School is a week long summer day camp where children learn about the Bible and living a Christ-centered life as they sing, watch skits, hear stories, play games, make crafts, and more. Specific information about VBS 2022 will be available in the spring.
YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS
Parklane Youth is a collective of middle and high school students that meets on Wednesday nights. During our meetings we share fellowship, laughter, we play games, have a snack, receive a teaching from the Bible, and engage in small groups. At Parklane Youth we are focused on fostering a discipling community that grows in the way of Jesus. We are always welcoming in more friends from our neighborhood and we would love to meet you

Men's Life – is a men's study group that meets Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. Interested in joining a group of men for discussion, friendship and prayer? Men’s Life is currently on hold and will restart at a later date.
SOAP Journal Group - SOAP stands for scripture, observation, application, and prayer. It is a time tested method of Bible study that focuses on reading, reflecting on, and responding to the Holy Scriptures. SOAP infuses both corporate and individual study of the Bible; we write our journals individually and then share them and conversate in community. Please join us on Friday to learn more about the Word of God! Contact our Youth Director for more information.
Small Groups - are meeting regularly at various locations. Each group is unique in its mission and function. Contact Pastor Pete if you are interested in attending or beginning a new group.
