We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Portland Seminary Spring Conference, featuring renowned theologian and author Dr. Andrew Root.<\/p>\n

We would be honored to have you join our students, alumni, university leaders and church partners for this vital conversation on leadership, discipleship and ministry in a secular age. The conference will take place from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0Friday, March 6,<\/strong>\u00a0at Grace Chapel, which is located at 27501 S.W. Parkway Ave. in Wilsonville.<\/p>\n

The theme of this year’s conference is “The Church in a Secular Age.” In a time of institutional strain and declining engagement, pastors and congregations are facing a profound identity crisis. Many find it challenging to even imagine God within the “immanent frame” of our modern era. Dr. Root will peer beneath the symptoms of decline, offering critical examination and powerful theological insights for leaders seeking to establish new footing when belief in transcendence is no longer an assumed reality.<\/p>\n

The cost is $15 for in-person attendance (this includes lunch). You may also attend online via Zoom. There is no cost for online participation.<\/p>\n
