Roots {Portland - Oregon}
Roots is a six month program, beginning with a three month discipleship school in Portland, Oregon. These first months will be spent in community with others in the program. You will work and learn together with them all over the greater Portland area. Some days you’ll journey on public transit to Mosaic Church for your morning training. Other days you’ll have the opportunity to participate in hands on training in various locations around the northwest! Learning and growing doesn’t have to be boring! You’ll find this experience to be unique as we take the experiential and participatory learning approach together in community. Your afternoons might be filled with serving at local area schools, homeless shelters, on the Indian reservation or another place of your choice.
Your evenings might include ethnic dinners with local families, participating in a community group, teaching a Bible study, or maybe a night out exploring Portland with some of your fellow students! If your three months in Portland doesn’t open up your heart and mind the three months overseas experience sure will. You and one other student will journey to some other spot on the globe to see and participate in one of the Alliance missions fields first hand! For the last portion of your Roots experience you will travel with a team member overseas to work with C&MA missionaries.
No matter where you’re at on your faith journey this experience is guaranteed to stretch, grow and challenge you as you see scripture, God, Christianity, evangelism and community in a whole new light. To learn more, visit the Roots web site.
