Portland - An Invitation

God. People. Adventure. Play.

The Lassiter 5 moved from Oklahoma City to Portland, Oregon in the summer of 2022. What started as a longing to live in the beauty of the PNW, proximate to a variety of outdoor adventure, quickly led to an invitation from God to love and serve the people and city of Portland. We truly are in a season of delight and experiencing the goodness of the Lord. We believe He is up to something good here in the city of Portland & consider it an honor to have been invited into partnership with Him.

In Portland as it is in Heaven. 


We're just ordinary people, rooting our family in a new city, hopeful for endless adventure, and holding a deep desire to love people well.

Buckle up, Adventure Awaits!
