WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
You do not need a reason to walk through the door.
Come hungry. Come tired. Come curious. Come exactly as you are. Every Wednesday night we make room for whoever shows up.
WHAT TO EXPECT
No dress code. No membership card. No expectation that you have it all together or even know what you believe yet. Just show up and we will take care of the rest.
Here is how the evening flows:
5 PM: Community workout
Open to everyone regardless of fitness level. Our Underground PDX coaches lead a group workout that is welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely fun. You do not need experience, equipment, or anything other than a willingness to move. Come as you are and we will meet you there.
6 PM: Community dinner
No fancy setup. Sometimes we are at tables, sometimes we are on the grass out back. What matters is that everyone gets fed and everyone belongs. The meal is free and open to anyone who walks in. If you want to contribute there is always an opportunity to give but it is never required.
6:30 PM: Community groups
Separate groups for kids, youth, and adults meet at the same time so the whole family can come together. No one has to sit in the parking lot waiting.
Kids get age-appropriate teaching in a safe, supervised, engaging space.
Youth have a place to belong, ask hard questions, and be known by name.
Adults gather for Bible study and open conversation about faith and life, wherever you are on that journey.

THERE IS A PLACE FOR EVERYONE IN YOUR FAMILY
We know that getting out the door on a weeknight with kids is no small thing. We want to make it worth it.
From the moment you arrive, your kids are in safe hands. Our kids and youth spaces are supervised by trusted, screened volunteers and staff. You can be fully present in your own group knowing your children are cared for.
And if your teenager thinks church is not for them, bring them anyway. Our youth space is not a typical church youth group. It is a real community where teenagers are treated like people worth knowing.
FIRST TIME?
We know walking into a new place can feel awkward. Here are a few things that might help.
You do not need to sign up or call ahead. Just show up.
Nobody will put you on the spot, ask you to raise your hand, or make you introduce yourself to the whole room unless you want to.
You can come for dinner and leave after. You can skip the workout and just come for the groups. You can do all of it or none of it. There is no wrong way to show up.
If you have questions when you arrive, look for the person at the check out table. We would love to meet you.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Do I have to be a Christian to come? Not at all. We mean it when we say everyone is welcome. Come curious, come skeptical, come with a hundred questions or none at all. Nobody will pressure you.
Do I have to pay for dinner? No. The meal is free and open to anyone who walks in. If you want to contribute there is always an opportunity to give but it is never required.
What do I wear to the workout? Comfortable clothes and athletic shoes are all you need. The workout is designed to be accessible regardless of fitness level or experience.
Is it safe for my kids? Yes. Our kids and youth spaces are supervised by trusted, screened volunteers and staff. Your children will be in good hands while you are in the adult group.
What if I just want dinner and not the groups? That is completely fine. Come for dinner and leave whenever you need to. There is no obligation to participate in anything beyond what feels right for you.
What if I have never been to church before? Then Wednesday night is a great place to start. No background required. No church language you need to know. Just come and see.
WE WILL SEE YOU WEDNESDAY.
