Welcome to Access Church

JESUS

Jesus is the Brown Feminist from Nazareth who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We long to know and follow Him in all that we are.

JUSTICE

Jesus sums up all of God’s commandments with “love.” His call to love our neighbor is not only personal but communal and social as well.

SE PORTLAND

Loving our neighbor means having a neighborhood. The life of our church is firmly rooted in the people, schools, businesses, and goings-on of SE PDX.

Hi, I’m Pastor Joel.

I’m the planting pastor of Access and these days I serve as the Pastor of Vision and Formation. I’d love to welcome you to our community and invite you to connect with us. Here’s a 90-second video introduction to give you an idea of what we’re about as a church. It’s my way of saying hi and that we’re so glad you’re here. You can also meet the rest of our leadership and staff team by finding our bios below.
