Together, we can strengthen our shared ministry and invest in the future of the Episcopal Church in Western Oregon.
Together, we will strengthen parish ministry, expand ministry with young people and college students, and invest in the infrastructure that supports congregations and ministries across the Diocese. Through these shared investments, we are preparing the way for vibrant ministry today and for generations to come.
We will focus on three strategic priorities that will help strengthen the Diocese of Western Oregon and support its mission for generations to come.
Across Western Oregon, some congregations face challenges in maintaining a consistent clergy presence. This campaign will help provide more reliable support to congregations that need it most—strengthening faith communities and ensuring that they can continue to worship, serve, and grow together and spread the good news.
The campaign will expand and strengthen youth and campus ministry, with particular focus on ministry at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and Western Oregon University.
The future of the Church depends on engaging and forming the next generation. We have an opportunity to meet youth where they are and help them discover a lasting connection to the Episcopal Church.
Our Christian ministry requires a strong foundation. The Diocese provides essential support to congregations throughout Western Oregon, helping them carry out their ministries and serve their communities.
The campaign will strengthen this diocesan infrastructure through a renewed Diocesan Support Center in historic Oregon City—a home for the resources, relationships, and support that enable congregations and ministries across the diocese to flourish.
The future of our shared ministry is being shaped today.
Our diocese strives to support congregations, connect with younger generations, and build the resources needed for ministry to thrive in the years ahead.
The Preparing the Way campaign represents an opportunity to respond to these needs with intention, faith, and a shared commitment to the future.
Join us as we invest in the people, ministries, and communities that will shape the future of the Episcopal Church in Western Oregon.
