WALK AFTER CHRIST
Portland is our Mission Field
The heartbeat of Walk After Christ is the great commission. Over 80% of our members actively engage in evangelism. Our church serves as a mission base to reach Portland, Oregon. In the last three years we have seen over 2,000 salvations through our services, park events, outreaches and one-on-one evangelism.
​
​
​
Salvations
We have helped many people get off the streets and into discipleship homes & rehabs. We have also seen many drug addicts, alcoholics, witches, new agers, satanists & atheist become born-again believers through the transforming power of the gospel. During our services we have had the privilege of baptizing new believers nearly every week.
​
​
Street Church
We do regular events in parks and homeless camps where we BBQ, hand out blankets, clothing & supplies to meet practical needs. We also have live worship, the preaching of the gospel and ministry teams to meet spiritual needs. It is the gospel that truly changes lives.
Family
New believers are brought into a family of fathers & mothers, brothers & sisters who walk beside them and help them grow. Every Sunday after service, we all eat dinner together and fellowship.
Discipleship
We firmly believe you cannot have a strong walk with the Lord without a strong foundation in scripture. We have a school of discipleship that builds a biblical foundation for believers to stand on and thrive. In this local and online school, they are immersed in scripture, practical ministry and equipped to become missionaries to their own city. Just as they were once lost and received hope, now they are empowered to extend that hope to others.
​
We make disciples who make disciples.
FOUNDERS
Joshua & Chelsea Shaw
​
Joshua & Chelsea reside in Vancouver WA with their 4 children ages 6-14. They served as mission and evangelism pastors for 13 years while traveling and training churches worldwide. In 2020 they founded Walk After Christ church. In the last 3 years of being a church they have grown to over 200 local members. They have also built a worldwide platform of nearly 50,000 subscribers.
​
God gave us a mandate to make Portland, OR our mission field. We are seeing a bountiful harvest and are believing God for an even greater impact in 2024! Portland is dark and cold right now, but Walk After Christ is a lighthouse in this city - where people are coming in and being saved, healed, set free & encountering the warmth of the Father's love!
WHATS NEXT?
Right now we have an urgent need. We have to be out of our current building in a couple weeks and are believing God for a permanent home for our church.
Please consider joining the work that God is doing in Portland and sow into our new location!
