Meet our Pastor

Picture

Rev. Heather Riggs grew up here in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley.  She holds

a Masters of Divinity from Claremont School of Theology, and is an ordained Elder in

the Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church.  She was appointed to

Oak Grove in 2016, and is deeply involved in our community through our local

Mainstreet Association, County advisory teams, volunteering in our local school, and

community organizing around housing issues.  Pastor Heather is married to Tom and

they have two young adult children, Aelric and Gwen.
 
Pastor Heather embraces a generous orthodoxy, finds her theological home in

Liberation Theology, and will happily officiate your Gay wedding.  She enjoys

science fiction, green beans and hiking the beautiful Pacific Northwest.


Feel free to drop her an email at pastor@oakgroveunitedmethodist.com

Building Use Application

We love our community!  One ingredient for community is space to gather.  The church building is sometimes available to rent for community events, on a case by case basis.  Here's how it works.

1. Check the church calendar on our events page.  Sometimes we're already booked.

​2. Fill out a "Request for Use of Facilities"  form (see link below) and submit it to the church office in person, by mail or by email.

3. Our Facilities Director will get back to you and make arrangements with you for payment of fees if we can accommodate your request. 

Church Members -- Yes, you need to fill out a building use application and submit it to the church office too!  This is how we get your use of space on the calendar and arrange for set up!

Weddings and Memorials
If you are planning a wedding or memorial service, please call the church office at (503) 654-3161.  These are both considered worship services in our tradition and require meeting with the Pastor.   We welcome the opportunity to journey through these important rituals of transition with you regardless of church membership (or non-membership!), but we are not a wedding or funeral chapel.
