Our city

We couldn’t be more excited about sharing God’s wonderful message of love and forgiveness here in Bend, Oregon.  With a population of over 77,000, Bend is the sixth fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States.  The beautiful Cascade Mountains to the west and the high desert to the east give Bend sunny weather and unmatched views.  The people in Bend love the outdoors.  And with all the lakes, rivers, hiking and biking trails, golf courses, ski slopes, mountain climbing and dirt bike riding, there’s plenty to satisfy even the most ardent sportsman.

Two national publications have identified Oregon as the state with the lowest percentage of people who go to church.  There’s an enormous skepticism for all things religious here.  So we’re right where we want to be!  What an incredible opportunity we have to cut through the barriers that religion puts up and show people the truth and grace of Jesus Christ.
