Portland also supports a local mission trip taken annually. Those trips have included assistance in Virginia, North Carolina, South Dakota and other states.

Portland has also been involved in jail ministry at the Sumner Co. jail since 2014. We have conducted in person worship services, in person classes, correspondence courses, assisting baptisms, and purchasing bibles for the incarcerated.
