Jun 28th - The House Is Not Whole, with Rev. Dr. Steven Koski. A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: Luke 15.1–7, 11–32.

Ever felt like there’s no place you fully belong, especially if church has been a source of hurt or exclusion? This Sunday we’re talking about a God who keeps the door open, counts every life as precious, and refuses to give up on the ones the world pushes aside, including our LGBTQ+ neighbors, kids, and friends.

Join us in person or online this Sunday. Come as you are. You are welcome here.

Join us each Sunday, 10AM at bendfp.org, or 11AM KTVZ-CW Channel 612/12 in Bend. Subscribe/Follow, and click the bell for alerts.

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.

We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
