Bridgetown Recovery Community
Who we are
We believe the continual journey of recovery from substance is best done in community, out of the trap of isolation and shame. Our aim for BRC is to bring together those in recovery who call Bridgetown home. To be freely who we are, known and loved by a family and Jesus. It’s a massive joy in our lives to break bread monthly, hear each other’s stories, and unify in contending prayer for our sobriety and the Kingdom to come in Portland. If you have a desire to stop drinking or using drugs— whether 10 years or 1 hour— you are welcome here. If you are considering coming for the first time and want to know more, we’d love to connect. Shame and isolation are not the tools of Jesus, but grace and friendship are freely given.
Monthly Gathering
The Bridgetown Recovery Community holds a gathering on the second Friday monthly to join both men and women together for a meal, listen to a speaker, and reflect in prayer.
We are dedicated to providing support, connection, and encouragement to those within our church family who are on a journey of recovery from substances. If you are in recovery or have a desire to stop drinking or using drugs please register to attend.
Dates: Oct 9, Nov 13, Dec 11
Time: 6:30 - 8 PM
Location: Bridgetown Church

Women’s Gathering
Over the summer, we hosted a series of monthly women’s gatherings to explore a new format. If you attended, thank you so much for trying out something new! What began as a test run has been so encouraging that we’re excited to bring it back as a regular part of our rhythm this fall.
Our next women’s gathering is Thursday, September 24.
Dates: Thursday, Sep 24, Oct 22, Nov 19
Time: 7 - 8 PM
Location: Bridgetown Church; Conference Room
Please use the parking lot off Tillamook St. and enter through the side doors to the left of the stairs (there will be a sign on the door). No registration needed.
Is this for me?
The BRC exists for anyone who would like to change their relationship to substances and invite Jesus and community into the process of quitting drinking or using drugs.
What can I expect?
At our monthly Bridgetown Recovery Community gatherings, we begin the night by sharing a meal together. We then get to hear from a different speaker each week about their recovery journey and how Jesus has met them in their story. As a group, we also lean into prayer, friendship, and a shared value of sobriety.
