Portland Lutheran Parish
About Us
Aal, Aurdal, Bang, Bruflat, Norway and Perry Lutheran Churches joined together on March 1, 1991 forming the Portland Lutheran Parish. The setup of the Parish has benefited each church individually and ultimately served the purpose of knowing Christ and making him known.
Each church maintains its own identity, Sunday school programs, ladies' and men'sgroups, councils and have worship services every Sunday with the exception of Aal and Norway - they rotate every other Sunday.
By all the churches coming together all of our churches remain active, flourishing and are able to provide strong growth together in many areas. Some of the areas that have been thriving and prospering are Learning in Faith for Everyday (L.I.F.E.), Parish Youth Program, Confirmation Program, Parish Gospel Choir, and Parish Ladies group.
We also are promoting Faith Stepping Stones. Stepping Stones are the key moments in a child's life when they can firmly and deliberately place their feet on a "stepping stone" toward greater faith and knowledge in Jesus. At these key moments the
parent(s) and child come together for one or more classes/sessions and then on a following Sunday come to the alter and receive a blessing and encouragement.
