Who We Are

The Pearl Projects
The Pearl Projects is a faith-based non-profit organization that was established in 2018 in Portland, Oregon. It is dedicated to serving women in local communities in a variety of ways, through a variety of projects.

Mission
Our primary objective is to connect women with discipleship-rich resources and opportunities in order to nourish their relationship with Jesus and with other women.

Resources
Our heart’s desire is to offer a spectrum of resources that continually encourage women to be with Jesus, to become more like him, and to do what he did.

The resources that we offer are intended to continually point us back to what is true, what is good, and what is beautiful as defined by Scripture and as defined by the life and teaching of Jesus.

Opportunities
Our team places a high value on nurturing intentional community. Fostering deep relationships that share the common ground of the Gospel is the unity in diversity that the church is called to in Scripture. When we gather together with Jesus as our foundation, we create sacred space to learn together, to grow together, and to serve others, together.

Servant Leadership
We serve others because the heart-posture of Jesus was that of a servant-leader. To apprentice under Jesus over the course of a lifetime means amongst other things, that we would mirror his habits, his rhythms, and his approach with people. His leadership paradigm, as evidenced in his desire to dine with the social outcasts and to wash the feet of his disciples, was subversive precisely because it flipped the tables on the status quo.

Radical Grace
As women who sit at the feet of the gentlest, wisest teacher of all time who speaks value, dignity and worth over us, it is our blessing and our opportunity, then, to mirror the same grace and mercy and love that he first showed to us, to others. We believe that we are blessed to be a blessing to others.

Thanks for being here, and blessings on you!
