Christian Fellowship in Oregon (Portland, Tillamook: home, live, moving to)

[Sarah Light]

We are thinking about moving to Oregon and are hoping we can find a nondenominational group of Christians that meet for worship outside of a traditional church.

The most important factor is that they take the Bible seriously.

The worship meeting would be open (rather than scripted) and participatory. (Anyone can pick a song to sing or pray out loud.)

The teaching would be done by different men in the group rather than a pastor.

Does anyone knows of a group like that (could be in a home) anywhere in the western part of the state, but not near Portland?

Sarah, I realize this was posted last year but if you are still checking in here, I can answer your question. When we lived in Tillamook area in the 1990's, I can guarantee that more than any other place we have lived, there are many Christians who eschewed regular churches - but like their "own" home churches and groups. These were not for us but if this is what you like, Oregon is full of these groups.
