Renato & Epe:
A Journey of Faith, Fellowship, and Commitment
In the heart of Keizer, amidst the bustling routines of daily life, a remarkable story of faith and friendship recently unfolded.
Renato Torres and Edmundo “Epe” Selvas are best friends whose journey began with a simple invitation to the "Keizer Hub" from VIViD Adventist Church, a gathering where young adults from diverse backgrounds dig into the Bible and engage in meaningful conversations. Over time, Renato and Epe became fixtures in this community, forging deep friendships and embracing the teachings of the Word. Both young men are dedicated to personal growth, but even more important has been their desire to share the joy they've found with others. While working with their study group, they have extended invitations to friends and siblings to join, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome to participate and share their unique perspectives.

Together in Mission Town Halls Start April 2
This spring, churches around the conference will host the annual opportunity to worship and connect as a broader church with our Together in Mission town hall meetings. Every member is invited to participate in a gathering near them to experience the blessing of connecting with members from neighboring churches and with conference leaders. “Together in Mission” is a reminder that while we live, work, and worship in communities all across the Oregon Conference territory, we all share a common spiritual identity: children of God looking forward to Jesus’ soon return.
Our Together in Mission town hall meetings happen at 7:00 PM:
April 2 – Southern Oregon – Grants Pass Adventist Church
April 3 – Central Valley – Eugene Adventist Church
April 9 – SW Washington – Meadow Glade Adventist Church
April 11 – Greater Portland – Sunnyside Adventist Church
April 30 – Central Oregon – Bend Adventist Church
Mark calendars and plan to join in a “Together in Mission” town hall near you.
