Athey creek is my home church and I am so thankful for the good truthful biblical teaching that I get from Pastor Brett. The ONLY complaint I have, is that as a brand new person, I attended alone, week after week and nobody said a word to me. It's not particularly warm and fuzzy feeling, but the teaching is incredible! I get my warm and fuzzies from other aspects of my life :-)
Athey Creek is my home church. I really love how they can explain the Bible in understanding ways, stay humble, have a sense of humor, and give a perspective on the current world around us.
I am always amazed by the talents of the musicians here that make worship so moving! The decor is beautiful!
If I can't make it to church, I watch the live stream on the website. This large, non-demonimational church is open to all! I also love the summer time events! That homemade water slide and BBQ was terrific! Thank you, Athey Creek!!!
Very few churches go through the Bible verse by verse like Athey. A great place to grow in your walk with the Lord.
Fantastic experience! Love the fact that the entire church was singing not just the worship team on stage. Great sermon that should be heard by everyone going thru hard times.
A place that is uplifting...great teachings that helps you grow spiritually. Kind people and are wonderful to be around them, feels homey not uptight. A place I can see God working.
Beautiful people, beautiful atmosphere. This place and these wonderful people feel like a safe harbor and an answer to our prayers.
3 years ago we felt the Lord was leading us in a new direction in life and we started praying for a new church to attend permanently. The Lord led our family to Athey Creek. Prior to attending the church I had been listening to pastor Brett on the radio 93.9 and the word he was sharing really filled me up spiritually, I felt like I really wanted to attend that church of that pastor but never had the opportunity to do so. In the midst of us praying to find a new church home, a family member invited us to Athey Creek. I remember stepping into the church for the very first time and hearing pastor Bretts voice, I recognized it right away as that one guy on the radio i really liked (for some reason I envisioned him younger lol). From that first visit we felt in our hearts that it was going to become our home church and it has. In the 3 years we have been going to Athey i have also personally overcome an addiction to opiates that i was battling for 6 years (totally clean 2 years with no maintenance medications). Praise be to the Lord Jesus. If your looking for a church to check out, I would highly recommend this one. God Bless
This is my daughter 's church and when we come to visit her family the pinnacle of our visit (the proverbial cherry on top) is coming to Athey Creek. We love your worship and love for our Lord and we love Pastor Brett. Keep up the good work!!!!!
We have been going to church here for years and Pastor Brett is amazing. It s been great to go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter. The worship group is also amazing. I am impressed by this church and we continue to drive here from gresham every Saturday night.
This is an awesome church. Worship was anointed and Pastor Brett preaches a solid word. The church goes line by line in the Bible and he has an excellent knowledge of Jewish culture and history. He has been to Israel and brings that information into his preaching as well. He teaches as he preaches. That is the type of preaching my husband and I like.
The only negative thing I have to say is Do Not Bring Flags into the sanctuary! Bummer if you are a Praise Warrior or Creative worshiper. I got two waves in before I was grabbed and pulled back sharply and harshly by one of the board members of the church. He was a complete stranger to me so I had no idea who or what he was as he escorted me back to my seat stating sternly that they didn't "flag worship" here. He tried to explain the views of the church after the service but by then I was so upset by the way I had been treated I wasn't really listening. I even went and spoke to Pastor Brett about what had happened. He told me basically (not word for word any of the following statements) that I was lucky it was the board member as others might have been far harsher on me! Somehow that didn't make me feel any better! I can't imagine what "harsher" would even look like! They explained their views, which I respect..... and I will admit it was all my fault and I should have asked permission to begin with. My husband and I were politely told not to come back, that there were other churches that believed as we do. So even if I didn't bring my flags back, we would be unwelcome.
I did call the church to apologize for my behavior and left a message for Pastor Brett. He has not returned the call. He asked me what I thought they should do when someone begins to "flag worship" (because we do NOT worship flags!) Since it is usually women who "flag worship" I would suggest sending a sister out there..... perhaps she would be more gentle! My husband says that he should have asked him to get me, as he IS my husband and knows how to bring me out of worship without being so rough!
There would have never have been a problem if I hadn't been treated that way! If I had been approached with respect, with the belief that I did not mean to upset or disturb the congregation in any way, maybe I just didn't know how they felt about it; I would have simply folded my flags and sat down. I wasn't given a chance to react normally.... because when you do that to someone, you trigger that adrenalin response and no one is ever at their best in that situation! Thank God I wasn't someone suffering from PTSD or an anxiety disorder..... I could only imagine how that would have played out!
Lovely place!! Absolutely love my time here! Very well organized and you always feel welcome
So glad I found this church. Can t wait to get plugged in and volunteer to help the community in some way to really be of service to the Lord.
Had a great time worshipping with others and a solid biblical message.
What you won't find here: Theatrics, movie clips, disruptive behavior or strobe lights. What you will find is people of all ages & all walks of life, all gathering to get a deeper understanding of our Lord & Savior. ""Refreshing & Real"" If you don't believe in the Lord or His Written Word then you may not like this church because it is based fully on the Bible- not mans ideas or philosophies that change with the wind. It is the True Gospel. Pastor Brett has a beautiful way of sharing the Bible in practical & valuable ways. Never raising his voice, always speaking from his heart combined with his strong knowledge of biblical history & his true love of the Lord all makes for a great time of worship & learning. It doesn't matter where you are in your faith or if you don't have any at all- this church is for you! Brett is truly humble & reminds us all to be as well. "For by Grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God." -(Eph. 2:8). A gift that is available to ALL. I moved away from Oregon 8 years ago & I was thrilled to come back & see that the church has an even larger awesome facility! This church continuously grows! So grab a coffee, (free at every service), get cozy & soak in the Word from a gifted Teacher who brings the bible to life & will always lend to a deeper understanding of the Word- which ultimately leads to a greater relationship with Our Lord. PS. The music (worship) is always uplifting as well- a little different every week.
You won't hear a bunch of the pastors long-winded irrelevant analogies at this church. This is going through the Bible and sticks to the word at all times. Once you've listened to pastor Brett you will never go anywhere else. Jesus is the Messiah the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father but by him
I have traveled and lived in many states within the U.S. I have never found a church quite like Athey Creek Christian Fellowship and probably never will again. Brett and the other pastoral staff are humble, respectful, leaders, each with the heart of a servant.
Each Sunday and Wednesday the Bible is taught, book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse. My wife and I really miss our Athey Family (live in Texas now), but whenever we head back to the Portland area, reconnecting with church family is always high on our priority list. If you are looking for God's truth spoken, this is the place to be.
Love that he preaches right from the Bible. Some people may disagree with him, if they do they are disagreeing with God's Word not Pastor Brett. He goes through the Bible chapter by chapter verse by verse. It doesnt get any better than that!
Very biblical. Too big to really get to know people, but great messages right out of the Bible.
Great church and would definitely recommend to anyone.
Visited here during the Easter holidays, what a wonderful place very spirit filled the music is inspiring,
Amazingly enjoyable and thorough journey through the Bible and walk with Christ. Best staff and church I have ever experienced.
A great place to go if you want solid Bible teaching.
I started attending (mostly the Wednesday evening) services here over a year ago and enjoy the sermons and Brett s perspective. I don t always agree with him but I enjoy his views and the people are friendly. I also have a son that enjoys their grade school events. I have however had a very difficult time getting connected there (similar to Portland in general). I was considered terminally ill and mildly on the autistic spectrum. I reached out a few times to ministry and explained it via voicemail and played phone tag for a couple of days but got no support. Leaving a message in the general voicemail won t get any response at all. Email is much easier for me but not something ministry does there that I can find. It is sometimes overwhelming. My son and I need family and support given our circumstances out here and it s an uphill climb even at Athey Creek. I ve asked for help and need some hand holding which they don t do. I can sit for 15 minutes waiting for the service to start and not one person approaches me. We attended the summer BBQ which was fun but again, we didn t have support or people to talk with or help us connect so we sit there and entertain each other and leave early or I watch my son play with other children in the sand pit and sit there alone for an hour. Not one person even says hello or engages with me. I am a beautiful lady who wants connection and support. I dress well and I don t look like a druggy or even strange but I m treated a little like an outcast. People talk to each other but not to me. My son doesn t always want to attend (I suspect because he doesn t get the right support either) and I have to make him go. We need a point person as do others with cognitive disabilities but they don t have that there. It s an accommodation and the western states in general are horrible at it. I would like to make friends and get the right support as I had in the Midwest but it s been next to impossible out here and then they wonder why there are so many suicides and why it s on the rise. I enjoy the atmosphere and energy there but not the neglect that is so pervasive here in Portland. I would give this church 3.5 stars for someone who needs an accommodation, even a mild one.
Great Church to go through the Bible, verse by verse.
Athey Creek Christian Church is a fantastic church to worship God while learning amazing details about the Bible that enable you to grow closer to God.
At this church we work through the Bible chapter by chapter, verse by verse. No verses are skipped. I often compare it to going to seminary for free.
There are three services and all are usually packed. That says a lot as Portland is generally a very non religious city.
I've never been to another church where it felt so right to be there. I love that they practice a through the Bible: book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. This allows the best way of teaching and does not allow for funny business and proof texting.
Pastor Brett has a down to earth style and is great at teaching in a way that is palatable for all.
The Best church in the area, Love it to worship God with awesome people and pastor!!!
I started attending Athey Creek in Dec of 2012. Since day one I have been amazed at the environment, the worship, and teachings. I had never experienced the care, attention, compassion, or love at another church in my entire life. The Pastoral team is awesome, the Children's ministry is amazing (we have a 10 yr. old) and the events are A+.
I highly recommend getting plugged into Athey. I have found the ladies at the info table in the foyer are extremely helpful and they will point you in the right direction.
I hope to meet you soon!
God Bless
Pastor Brett is a GREAT Bible teacher and the music worship team has unbelievable talent!
Great place to study the Bible, raise kids and meet lifelong friends. Pastor Brett's teaching is second to none!
Brett always directs his congregation back to the word. We are thankful to have a pastor who relies so heavily on the the Lord to lead his teachings.
Great place to worship and fellowship. Pastor is one of the best speakers I have heard. Teaches directly from the bible.
The staff are very experienced and enthusiastic, but most of all they share their love for the Lord with everyone they meet.
The LORD says, "seek and you will find" so I kept seeking a CHRIST-centered, Bible-teaching church, and found it at Athey...Praise the LORD! I fall more deeply in love with JESUS as I hear (faith comes by hearing) His Word, believe His Word, obey His Word, which feeds me with...JESUS!! Hallelujah!
Through the Bible verse by verse. I started with Athey Creek early on while we were still at the middle school. Plain glazed donuts my boys and I were able to have a good breakfast. Now we get the full selection? Food for the soul while some fuel for the body.
it was ok, im jewish so not my type but ths jesus fellow seemed pretty nice
The pastor teaches the Bible here. He is not afraid to speak the truths of what the Bible says. It is totally refreshing to hear the full strength of the Word...not watered down...not filtered... but spoken in true love the way God intended. Hope, grace, mercy and love.
Truly a Biblical foundation. The members are friendly and determined to get closer to Christ with a great appreciation for His sacrifice for our Salvation. Brett makes it real! A long time Christian, I have found a home.
Athey is a great place to hear God's Word, verse by verse. Great place for kids of all ages to make friends and learn about Jesus. Connect and grow with other Believers in home groups. Fellowship and worship God with talented musicians.
Enjoy events and ministries for men, women, couples, teens, junior high and grade schoolers. Solid biblical teaching throughout the whole Bible with high quality, safe, child care during the weekend services and Wednesday night Bible study.
At Athey Creek you can expect Biblical based teaching. Brett (the pastor) at Athey has firm beliefs based off of biblical truth. This church goes through the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. There is a Wednesday night service that is more exhaustive and then Sunday service is more concise.
Learning Gods Word, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book.God has given Pastor Brett the the gift of teaching, loving and leading. Keep bringing and giving God the Glory in all you do my brother.
Amazing church with sound practices that only come from the Bible. The worship band is awesome (this coming from a classically trained musician). Pastor Brett is a great pastor and the child care facilities are warm and inviting. It's a great church to come to and just sit down to be in the Bible and praising God while someone else can take care of your kids.
Good message, comfortable seating, many hot drink options and good sound. Comfortable temperatures. Consistent.
ACCF is an amazing fellowship, Brett is a talented, big hearted, Bible-believing teacher. The difference his teachings have made for me personally, my family, and my understanding and love for the scriptures is unfathomable. I attended for 3 years before moving to the South and always consider ACCF as my home church and Brett as the single most influential teacher for my faith and home. My 5 siblings and I still listen to his teachings online and love his simple but direct approach to Bible teaching. Our mutual affection for Brett makes him feel like family.
May not always say what you want to here. But teaches thought the Bible book by book.
Solid, Biblical teaching and welcoming warm people!
Pastor Brett is such a Godly preacher, I recommend this church to anyone looking for Bible based teaching...
Always welcoming and strong adherence to the scriptures.
If you want to know what the Bible says, and how it relates to us, visit ACCF and prepare to learn! The book by book and verse by verse teaching is exciting to me as I am able to understand God's word better and apply it to my life in an amazing way!
Found our church home on Easter 2018. Bible, Bible, Bible. We love it.
Pastor Brett is a phenomenal Bible teacher who does not compromise the Word or avoid challenging issues that most Pastor s shy away from so as to not offend the flock. He loves the Lord and runs a large Evangelical church without the drama or internal politics that often drag these churches down.
Best church in Northwest! My wife and I grew very much spiritually since coming to this church! Pastor Brett is truly a man of God and he speaks the Truth. Come to Athey Creek it will change your life for the better! God bless the church and it s cogregation!
Great message. Wonderful music. So many young enthusiastic families. A real joy to attend!
The truth of God's word is taught right from his word, verse by verse, Chapter by Chapter.
Brett is a fantastic Bible teacher, keeps everything in context of Scripture being studied and has a gift of showing how other passages of Scripture relate to the text being studied that particular day!
Fantastic biblical teaching, great up to date facility, many ways to participate and connect.
Love this church, been going here for about 3 years now. My relationship with Jesus has been growing so much by hearing the Bible word for word and having it opened up to me in such a raw way; that s easy to understand. No funny business here, just real authentic Bible teachings. Worship is just incredible, always doing something different and unique; not conforming to the trendy basic music. I recommend coming to both the Sunday and Wednesday services so that you don t miss out on half the Bible ;) Great culture and great people! Thank you to Pastor Brett, the elders of the church and everyone else who makes it possible to attend, be blessed.
Honest church. Honest pastor. A lot of people don't know how to handle that. They focus on one thing: what the LIVING WORD OF GOD says. That's it. Period.
Enjoy Bretts teaching they the Bible. The staff is very friendly and helpful when calling. Love this church.
Great example of Christ-like live and excellent services.
Amazing place to worship and amazing sermon, this might be my new home church.
I have never been to a worship, praise, and teaching service at Athey Creek when Pastor Brett was teaching where I didn't come away a better man or wanting to be a better man. The anointing of teaching on Pastor Brett is like no one I've ever come across in my life. That includes when I was in YWAM and I had some of the finest teachers in the world. Not one of them has anything over Pastor Brett. He can take a series of snooze scriptures and make them so very interesting. I consider it an honor and privilege to serve our living Lord Jesus Christ. It's a get-to not a got- to. I also consider it a privilege to call Athey Creek Fellowship my home church and have Pastor Brett as my pastor as well as the guidance of the associated pastors, elders, deacons and other leadership.
Book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse through the Bible.
This church is as real as it gets. Pastor Brett does not hold back when tough topics come up, he simply states what the Bible says and moves on. (well, he may get side tracked a bit, but then he moves on. lol)
We go verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book and we don't skip anything. When get it all!
GREAT CHURCH!
My family and I had been church hopping for a few years when some friends of ours asked me to watch bible prophecy 2018 with Pastor Brett. By that point I had been searching for a few years and I was hungry for a deeper teaching and wanted to be fed spiritually with meat and potatoes vs the milk I ve been drinking. So bored one night I tuned in to Brett s Prophecy update 2018 and for the first time in many years I felt like God had spiritually checked all the boxes, and I felt full and satisfied. I then decided to try Wednesday bible service at Athey and was filled again, and then joined Sunday services and have been attending ever since. My older daughter and her family have also joined and help at the Sherwood location when needed. God is good all the time. His Word lives on forever and it is taught in substance and truth at Athey Creek and not a water-downed version of it. Pastor Brett covers every chapter and dissects every verse bit by bit. Led by Jesus at the Helm and empowered by the Holy Spirit...Praise God always!
This is an amazing verse by verse, chapter by chapter, non denominational Christian Bible study church. Everything is based on God's written word and studying God's word. The staff is amazing, they have excellent worship, and a great children's ministry. Pastor Brett is phenomenal, very knowledgeable, and perhaps above all a very real person. God is doing great things through him and this church.
Two years ago I was saved there. Since then, I've really loved and have enjoyed myself at ACCF. They have a wonderful men's ministry, active church, and they go through the bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter. Doing that is awesome because nothing is missed or taken out of concept. Because it is a bigger congregation, there's home group bible studies within a close proximity of your home. Pastor Brett ministers the word with such passion and devotion. My wife and I couldn't be more thankful and blessed to have the church family we have.
Love this fellowship. Pastor is outside the box. Does not stoop to being politically correct. Seems to rely on the truth of the Bible and in his relationship with Jesus. I love the historic background the pastor brings to his lessons. Great place to learn about God's Word
Pastor Brett goes straight through the Bible and doesn't avoid touchy subjects for fear of offending people. He teaches just what the Bible says.
I love it so much I listen to extra teachings that pastor Brett has done over the years. besides listening to the weekly live services.
This has been my home church for almost 13 years. Pastor Brett is solid in his teaching of the Bible and does not mix words. My husband appreciates the masculine appeal of the church, as some churches have pastors and congregants that can be overly emotional. The negatives to me are simply our size...the teaching draws many new people which means we have large services.
