Upcoming Events

Hang tight while we look up scheduled events...

Small Groups

God is not simply saving individuals, but he is creating a family where relationships deeply matter.  We desire that all people live in an authentic faith community that fosters a vibrant and deepening relationship with God.
 
One of the primary ways we build relationships and cultivate fellowship with each other here is through a network of small groups While we are joined to all believers in the local church, Small Groups allow us to relate more deeply with a small number of people. 

Start a group:  to start a group, contact our Small Group leadership team to learn about Sunset groups and to sign up for an upcoming leader training group.  Then, gather a group of people – family members, friends from Sunset, co-workers, neighbors and get started!  We also provide training for individuals who are willing to meet and shepherd new people who are looking for a group.

Women's Bible STudy

Join Us This Fall at Sunset Women’s Bible Study (Sept. 22 – Dec. 1)

 

Have you ever wondered how Christians can know so much Scripture and yet not lead transformed lives? Have you struggled with the gap between your own beliefs and your behaviors? Do you long to grow in intimacy with Christ and maturity in your Christian faith? 

Please join us this fall as we learn from Pete Scazzero’s Emotionally Healthy Spirituality curriculum.

 

Together, we will look below the tip of the iceberg of who we are, addressing how our emotional health impacts our spirituality. When you join, you will receive a devotional book that will guide you in two daily scripture readings and prayers, the book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Pete Scazzero and a workbook with group and personal study questions and guidelines. Each week’s lesson will be anchored in a Scripture story.

 

We believe that community is exceptionally important during this season of quarantine and social distancing. Please join us as we dig deep into daily reflections, weekly group discussions and additional devotional reflections provided by our teaching team. We will ask questions, bring our authentic selves and pray together as we seek to grow in spiritual maturity and genuine discipleship. While we will be meeting online for the foreseeable future, we believe that God is still at work, and that this season of trial can be spiritually fruitful if we press into Him. Join us!   

 

For questions, please email womensbible@sunsetpres.org.

______________________________________________________________________________

Full Year Schedule:

 

2020 had been a year rife with uncertainty. Like you, the WBS leadership team has tried to remain flexible as plans have shifted and circumstances continue to change. As a team, we have prayerfully considered several options for further study in our winter and spring 2021 sessions.  With so much continuing to evolve, however, we feel called to hold our plans loosely and stay open and responsive to the Holy Spirit’s leading and the unfolding events of our day.  In an unusual season, we have taken the unusual step of delaying the announcement of our winter and spring study until later in the year. While we prefer to plan ahead and have a secure sense of what will happen, we feel that at this time we are wise to listen and lean into the Lord with open hands for where He will take us. 

 

Despite the uncertainty, we still invite you to sign up for the full year! Though we are not certain where the Lord will lead us, we know that we will be walking with Him every step of the way! We may not have the curriculum pinned down, but we do know that we will continue to gather in community to study His word, share our lives and pray for one another. Be assured that we have options and ideas, and that we will work hard to let you know as soon as we have some assurance of next steps. 

 

Sincerely,

The WBS Leadership Team

MEN's Ministry

Sunset recognizes that Christian men often have difficulty forming strong relationships with other Christian men. It is evident from the Bible (e.g., Proverbs 27:16-18; Ecclesiastes 4:12), as well as Jesus’ lifestyle, that such interactions are essential. We all can lighten our struggles by sharing with others (Galatians 6:2). Sunset offers a variety of activities for men at all levels of spiritual maturity as well as outreach events for their friends. If you are not connected with other Christian men, try one or more of these groups and find your community at Sunset.

MEN'S MORNING WATCH


Saturdays 7 - 8:30 am

Church's East Entry – 2nd Floor – Student Center

Men of all ages meet on Saturday’s to enjoy a high-quality breakfast ($5 donation), great fellowship and a Bible-focused study that encourages openly discussing God’s Word and how to apply it in our daily walk with Jesus.

MEN'S SERMON DISCUSSION GROUP
Fridays 6:30 - 7:30 am, Village Inn in Beaverton
Our focus is to understand better and apply the Sunday message to our life - this includes Bible study, prayer, fellowship and care for each other. The discussion leadership is rotated between several of the regular attendees. There are currently about ten men regularly attending, but this is an open group, and all men are welcome. This men's group had been meeting for several years and strives to help men continue to grow as followers of Jesus.

RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS
Wednesdays 10:30 am - Noon
Righteous brothers, men over 60, meet each Wednesday from 10:30 am –12:00. The first half hour is fellowship and from 11:00 am to noon is Bible study. Approximately 8 - 14 men attend. This is a great place for men to connect and form a strong bond with other Christian men.
Contact Righteous Brothers leadership >

SMALL GROUPS
There are several groups of 5 - 8 men who meet regularly to grow in relationships with other men and God. The fellowship of other Christian men is a gift God wants to place in each man’s life for strength, encouragement, and protection. These groups meet at various locations weekday mornings or evenings.
Contact Small Group leadership >

FOR MEN ONLY (FMO)
Half of all men involved in church struggle with sexual purity issues. They fear to share this battle with their church leadership and community and so they live in daily shame, pain, and isolation –letting this addiction destroy their marriage and family. This is too big of a problem to ignore. FMO works with numerous churches and is making a difference. Hundreds of men have experienced change through Jesus' healing power. We meet in highly confidential small groups to encourage each other and to honestly share our struggles.

GPS Singles

GPS is a community for Single Adults (never married, divorced or widowed) ages 35-55 who want to grow spiritually, enjoy recreation and social activities and serve others together. No, we won’t “card you” if you are a year or two older or younger but we do ask that you respect our desire to be a community that ministers to the needs of people in that general age range.
We encourage Christ-like behavior and expect both men and women to treat one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, respect boundaries and encourage group friendships before pursuing a dating relationship.
(If you are currently separated and not divorced yet, we encourage you to take the time to heal and move through the divorce before joining a singles community)

Sonshine Treasures Ministry

The mission of Sonshine Treasures is to share God's love with people who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and to equip them to become active participants in the Family of God, the church. 

 

Sonshine Treasures is a uniquely designed Sunday School class for individuals with special needs, ages 12 and older.  

 

Sonshine Treasures meets from 11 a.m. to noon every Sunday in the Fellowship Hall of Sunset Presbyterian Church.  Volunteers greet members as they are dropped off by Tri-Met lift buses, group home staff, or parents.

 

Members who choose to go to the Sanctuary join the Congregation in singing worship and praise songs.  Following this time, class members return to the classroom where they enjoy more singing, celebrate birthdays, have a snack, share prayer requests, and hear Bible stories from both the Old and New Testaments.  When the Congregation celebrates Communion our class also participates. 

 

Individuals who are interested in the Sonshine Treasure Ministry, either to volunteer, or for more information about this special ministry, are encouraged to call Jackie Davidson at 503-645-1611.
