The people are all so friendly and I love that the kids stay during service. The pastors are all approachable and friendly, but Jon Needham is my favorite.

Only downside is the delicious donuts they have in the lobby....my mid section isn't impressed at all. I wish we lived closer so that we could do more of the events they have but getting there on Sundays is a start. Worth the 40 min drive from GH.

My family was so lucky to have found this church when we were in need of it and feel that we have a community and support system here made up of all ages and walks of life. If you are "church shopping" I highly recommend you come at least three times, to this or any church. Maybe you know it's where God wants you on the first week, or maybe it's one of those special events that doesn't give you the full experience. Three weeks tends to be a good sample in my opinion.

I feel slightly weird about reviewing a church, but I wished there were more (or really, any)…read morereviews when I was recently searching and could only choose which churches to check out based on their websites. I haven't gotten plugged into a Bible Study or Care Group here yet, so this is not a comprehensive review but is relatively unbiased since I'm not really involved yet. Of course, everyone has their own set of priorities and preferences when they're church-hunting, but hopefully this is helpful: PBF is very relaxed, friendly, come-as-you-are genuine... it doesn't feel like they're trying too hard to create a "chill" atmosphere. It's not a "hipster" church, but they obviously put some effort in aesthetically pleasing worship music slides and a well-done website. The worship band is excellent. Though there are sometimes a few unfamiliar songs (that are well chosen), I like that the worship set usually includes modern worship favorites, with an occasional hymn. More importantly, all these nice but more superficial things don't distract from what makes this a really solid church: the teaching is Biblical, and you can see that this church worships "in spirit and in truth" (and I've found few churches that strike this balance). Pastor Joe Schneider, who is sadly retiring soon, speaks the truth in love... he doesn't water down the Bible, and he equally addresses the parts that are harder to hear and the parts that everyone wants to hear. I feel both challenged and uplifted by the sermons, and I think I will really grow spiritually if I actually respond to what I feel convicted of during them. It seems like Pastor Joe and the church leadership have a solid understanding of the Gospel in its entirety (this year's theme is Gospel 365). The church is actively involved in social action/outreach like serving the homeless and jail ministry, as well as internal ministries like Divorce Care and the usual women's, men's, youth, and children's ministries. I am quite impressed by how this church seems both very "well-rounded" and deep (as in, not just about superficial activity). I feel blessed to have found it.

I've been a Christian for almost 50 years. In that time I've attended a Bible college for 2 years…read more(Multnomah University) and received tons on training for various types of ministries, including leading small groups. I'm no stranger to that. About 2 years ago my wife and I began attending this church, and I began to think about what ministry I could plug into. I settled on home study groups, and asked the pastor how I could get into that. He explained their process which I felt was reasonable. It involved joining an ongoing group and working with the group leader, assisting him for a few meetings, which I did. When I had completed the process, the group leader said I did fine and would communicate that with the pastor. It was understood at that point that my next step would be to establish a new study group somewhere in the church community. Both the group leader and the pastor knew this, and after I had completed my training and the study group had ended, I waited patiently for the pastor to contact me. He never did. So, one Sunday I stood waiting in the wings and caught him as he was leaving the stage. He was very brisk with me and wondered why I was waiting for him. I explained that I haven't heard from him and would like to know when the new groups would be starting up. He said "Well, I need to have your proposal for a new group in my Hand by the end of the day today because today is the deadline." Wow. There had been no communication to me about that deadline. And both the pastor and the group leader I worked with knew what my intentions and hopes were because I was pretty clear in my communication. I have never written a review for another church here on Yelp, but my experience with this pastor was very surprising. I was taken aback by his attitude. It's not like they have a gazillion group leaders coming out their ears, I don't understand why there was no communication to me or why he never even got back to me to talk with me about it further, even after my last encounter with him. You would think that when someone shows an interest in serving in the church, and especially in situations where there was a disconnect, the pastor would get back with you and talk about it and reconnect to discuss and review where to go from here. But what I got was Zero, nothing, nada. No followup with me whatsoever. Personally, I find that to be pretty inexcusable. His bedside manner is not the best I've ever seen, that's for sure. So I left the church. Not only was I unimpressed, I was saddened considerably. I would also add that while the preaching here is decent, it comes with what appears to be humor from the stage, but I have other thoughts about that. Dress code is very relaxed and informal. People are friendly.
