Join us for our Marriage Retreat at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel on March 22-23, 2024.

We wholeheartedly believe that marriage is a wonderful gift from the Lord. A gift we want to cherish and be intentional with. This is a great opportunity for a marriage reset or to continue to build on the good momentum in your marriage. This retreat is designed to give you quality and biblical teaching on marriage as well as adequate time for you and your spouse to focus on your marriage. We have the privilege of Phil Newton leading our sessions. We will be blessed by having him and his wife join us. There is early bird pricing through December 31. Learn more and register here!

The focus of this 2024 conference is the important topic of Membership. Many evangelical churches have a form of membership, but how does our theology inform why we have membership? And how should we practice healthy membership for the good of the church? This conference will be helpful to both vocational church leaders as well as lay leaders and congregants as we seek to encourage the breadth of the local church.

Speakers will present nine sessions on building healthy (that is, biblical) churches in light of meaningful membership. We want to think about not just what membership is, but what it means for the local church. There will be many opportunities throughout the conference to ask questions, dialogue with the speakers, and build relationships with other Christians.

Ethnic Unity and the Church Conference 

As Shai Linne has observed, "There are many conversations about ethnicity in the church today. I see a lot of anger, sarcasm, unforgiveness, and mockery. What I don’t see is a lot of humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another in love."

Join us as we seek to address these potential challenges by listening to God's Word preached, worshiping through song, and seeking the Lord through prayer. During the last conference, it was evident how unique such a gathering must have been in the city of Portland - a joyful, multiethnic assembly of followers of Jesus Christ who are united in the gospel. Plan to join us for this year’s conference on January 19-20, 2024 at Trinity Church. 

If you  register (www.ethnicunityandthechurch.com) before January 1 using the code: hinsonpdx, your cost will only be $20 per ticket.

The Northwest Worship Conference gathers worship leaders, music teams, sound techs, and pastors of local churches for the purpose of encouraging and sharpening each other in one thing—

Helping our churches richly sing the Word of Christ.

Our Weekender immerses church leaders and seminarians in the life of HBC over the course of a weekend. You'll get an up-close and personal experience with our services, congregational meeting, focused teaching on the church, plenty of Q&A, and even sit in an Elder Meeting. The point is not to replicate exactly what you see. In fact, we'd prefer you don't! But we do want to show you what we do and the biblical and pastoral reasoning behind it. We hope this creates meaningful relationships with other churches while building each other up. We would love you to join us. Bring yourselves and whatever questions you have. From leadership to worship to body life, it's all on the table!

The 9Marks Conference Northwest is a way for Christians to learn about often-overlooked biblical practices for the church. The focus of this 2023 conference is the important topic of Evangelism. Many evangelical churches talk about the importance of evangelism, but how does our theology inform our evangelism and how should evangelism effect the health of our church? This conference will be helpful to both vocational church leaders as well as lay leaders and congregants as we seek to encourage the breadth of the local church.

Speakers will present nine sessions on building healthy (that is, biblical) churches in light of evangelism. We want to think about not just what evangelism is, but what it means for the local church.

"When it comes to ethnicity, the proper response for the Christian is not to ignore it. Or gloat about it. Or be ashamed of it. Or feel guilty about it. The proper response is to thank God for it and leverage it for the glory of God." —Shai Linne
