Bridgetown Ministries
Youth and/or families are invited to travel to Portland together, to be stretched beyond their comfort zones, and to engage in helping ministries under the Burnside Bridge. This can be a very memorable event for families to participate in together. Meet the group at the NFC parking lot and return to NFC no later than 11:30pm.

Bible Foundation
This non-profit foundation is dedicated to distributing Scripture around our town, our country and our world. Sending large-print Scripture pieces to those who have difficulty seeing, distributing various translated materials around the globe, and printing a Scripture newspaper column in approximately 34 states, this Newberg-based ministry desires to see God's Word available to everyone.
A collection box for used Bibles is available in the NFC library area. Volunteers are needed to help with occasional jobs and projects, and some are needed for more in-depth endeavors. Also, Scripture trays are available for you to display at your place of business.
