The Women's Ministry is designed to encourage women to grow in their faith in Christ, to develop and strengthen intimate friendships with other women, and to provide opportunities to serve and reach out to our community for Christ. We offer bible studies, social gatherings, baby and wedding showers for ladies in the church, bereavement support, missionary opportunities, and much more.

Wedding & Baby Showers

Interested in hosting a wedding or baby shower either in your home or at the church? It is our desire to make every new bride-to-be and mom-to-be within our church body feel special and loved. Being a hostess for a shower is a lot of fun and a great way to share God's love through his people.

To make arrangements for a shower, please contact Cheryl Howell at 503-654-6695 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Bereavement

This ministry demonstrates love and support to the bereaved families and friends of deceased loved ones by providing a luncheon following a funeral service held at our church. Service in this ministry comes in the form of providing a salad or dessert, or volunteering your time to set up, serve, or clean up for the luncheon.

If you would like to be a part of this ministry team, please contact the church office.

Shepherding

The purpose of our Shepherding ministry is to welcome new women to our church family. It is our desire to help new ladies connect with our Women's Ministry and the ladies of our fellowship. Our hope is that the new sheep in our flock will quickly realize they are welcome and belong. We want to introduce the opportunities available to serve the Lord or to be served by their sisters in Christ with our church.

If you are new, or if you know someone who is new to our church, please contact Sharon Ketch at 503-656-4793 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Matthew focuses both on Jesus’ words and His works in 4:23-25. He introduces His ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing as further proof of Christ's identity as the Messiah.

Jesus begins to preach after John the Baptist was arrested by Herod, and proclaiming that the Kingdom of God was at hand. He called His first disciples to follow after Him and to one day be the very hands, feet, and voice of their Teacher.

Oregon City Evangelical has a history of worship and service in Oregon City dating back to 1885, when Josiah Bowersox held the first meeting in the home of John Deireinger. Despite turning 125 in 2010, OCEC is younger than you might think! Since beginning in a house, the church is now in its third location and is home to three services each Sunday morning with classes for all ages. We offer programs for children, Jr High, Sr High, women, men, marriages, seniors (55+), and a young adult meeting. The church is alive with babies, children, teens and adults of all ages! While OCEC started as a church for German immigrants, we now speak the language of many generations who are seeking to find and build a relationship with God.

Our church is motivated to serve. We find joy in devoting several days each year to serving around our community. We have helped at homes, schools, city facilities and care centers. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, we provide food boxes and gifts for needy families. We are blessed to provide food for 30+ children at Mt Pleasant Elementary weekly through their Back Pack Buddies program. We are excited to offer Shelter Homes where we assist families to get back on their feet and thrive again.
