At Regional Assembly gathers members and friends from 44 congregations that make up the Christian Church in Oregon and SW Idaho. We are from two states, worship in three languages, worship in houses, rented spaces, buildings we own, and on fields where we hope to build buildings. We are congregations as long serving as 175 years plus and as new as 3 years old.

And we serve one God. Together we will share worship, meet church leaders, reunite with friends and make new ones hosted by Salem First Christian Church.

Associate Pastors Salem FCC

We are overjoyed to tell you that the new Associate Pastors of Salem FCC, seen here on the recent Sunday where their son was dedicated during worship, will be providing opportunities for presence of children and youth at Regional Assembly on Saturday.

Nursery care and children's programming through grade 5 will be provided without cost, however we do need you to register to let us know you are coming and fill out a permission/release form that will be posted on our website later this week. The children's programming and nursery will be available during the morning and afternoon sessions, with families picking up their kids to take them to the district lunches (see below) that will happen on site.

The youth are invited to attend the assembly and spend part of the time in a youth hang out space in the church building. During the workshop time the youth will build the hygiene kits that are the focus of the mission project and enjoy lunch together. This event is free for youth grades 6-12. We do need to know who is coming and have a permission/release form for each youth on site which also lists the adult responsible for them during the event. More on this will be posted later this week. Keep watching our website.
Meals at
Regional Assembly
Pastors and their families will enjoy a visit from Disciples of Christ Moderator, Belva Brown Jordan over dinner on Friday night. Tickets are $15 per person and may be purchased on the registration form.

Saturday rolls and coffee will be avialable before the morning session and all registrants will have a box lunch as part of registration. Attenders are invited to share lunch with folks from congregations in their own district. The regional church has five districts. You can see where your congregation fits into the regional districts on the lower left of this portion of our website..... HERE
