Laurelwood Baptist is a growing church in Vancouver, Washington – a north suburb of the Portland Metro Area. Over the last 3 years Laurelwood has steadily grown numerically and is at the cusp of reaching 300+ people on a given Sunday. We have seen growth in newer families, children and seniors. In addition to numerical growth, Laurelwood has clarified our core values that will guide our ministry forward. We are seeking to be a church that prioritizes rooting deeply in Christ (John 15:5), growing together into Christ (Jn. 15:12) and Bearing Fruit for Christ (Jn. 15:16)
