AS IS Church

Why call a church “As Is?" Because that’s how God accepts each and every one of us: “As Is”

We believe God desires relationship with people but they think they need to get their act together before they can approach Him (or be part of a church). This simply is not true! The bible tells us that God demonstrated His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom 5:8). That means while we were out getting loaded, drunk, sleeping around, acting prideful, judging others, stealing, lying, living in fear, and all that – Christ died for us “As Is”.

Similar to someone buying used car (you know we’re all like used cars, not in the original condition) off of an 82nd Ave car lot – Jesus paid the price for us (1 Cor. 6:19-20, 7:22-23). His life was given as a ransom for our souls. Our response is to receive His gift, “As Is”, and sign the title of our lives over into His name. That’s when He begins the restoration project! He rebuilds the motor of our hearts and renews our minds (Rom. 12:1-2). He straightens out the alignment of our lives (Psalm 119:105). He wrote the owner’s manual instructing us on how to live, manage, and thrive in a broken and hurting world (Bible). When He takes ownership it changes everything! He transforms us – from the inside out!

We appreciate your prayerful support for the upcoming launch of “As Is” Community Church. Our target area will be North/Northeast Portland. We’ll begin worship services early next year. There will be an informational meeting in January. Let me know if you’d like more information.

Join us for this amazing journey! God is good!

In Him,
