about

The Upper Room Program provides skills and experiences that will assist you to work in (or even begin) a ministry to those who struggle with homosexuality. Many of the skills can be applied to other Christian ministry settings as well.

The Upper Room is a nine-month residential program for mature Christian men and women who seek a better understanding of their vocation, and a have a desire to hone their ministry skills.

You'll be immersed in PF's Taking Back Ground Program, learn to lead groups and do instruction. You'll sit at the feet of some of Portland's best teachers, many of them seminary professors and senior pastors. You'll learn about yourself and about relationships as you experience community life on a day-to-day basis.

You will be living in the Fellowship House, a charming, hundred year-old three story house located blocks from downtown Portland, Oregon. Each intern has a private room, with shared baths and common room. A shared kitchen gives you a place to prepare your own meals or share with others. Laundry facilities and off-street parking is provided.

Why the Upper Room?
We at PF believe we have an opportunity and responsibility to share our 20+ years' experience of ministry. God has blessed us, and we have grown steadily each year to become one of the most respected ministries of our kind. We rejoice that we have been able to witness God's amazing work in people's lives. He has equipped us to bring freedom, purity and reconciliation to those who come here.

Upper Room is a great learning environment. The blending of community life, formal instruction, one-on-one mentoring and guided private study, allows for a very flexible experience that can help prepare you for the ministry to which you feel called.

What you might do with this training?
The Upper Room Intern Program is designed to be a practical supplement to whatever training and gifting you bring to it. The curriculum will equip you. The experience will challenge and stretch you. The atmosphere will refresh and excite you. Where God directs you after that is known only to Him.
