ENCOUNTERING JESUS.
EQUIPPING PEOPLE.

Welcome to Activate Church!
At ACTIVATE we believe that it is our mission here on earth to love Jesus and love people. When we learn how to embrace God's love for us, we believe He gives us the ability to truly love people. This is the heartbeat of our home: that this community and our cities will know the unconditional, merciful love of Jesus.
We provide an atmosphere on Sunday morning where you will be encouraged through passionate praise and exuberant worship. We are fully committed to exalt Jesus.
Every Sunday our pastor Isaac brings a grace filled message of Jesus that is both challenging and encouraging. Pastor Isaac has a gift to connect with you and bring you into joyful laughter and a heartfelt pursuit of God’s truth.

What we believe

LEAD PASTORS

Isaac + Kari Maddox

Pastor Isaac and Kari dreamed of planting a church with a simple goal—to share the good news of the gospel and communicate  to as many people as possible the expansive love of Jesus. Together they have served in full time ministry for over 20 years and have traveled the world speaking and sharing the gospel.

Activate Church began interest meetings in Isaac and Kari’s home in spring of 2012.  We gathered people through grand gestured  city outreaches and events. Official Sunday morning services began Easter of 2013.
In 2016 we found our Church location in Camas, Washington.

Isaac and Kari have been married for over 20 years and have two teenage boys, Jude and Trent.

mission & vision

THE MISSION

Jesus for the City exists to bring the love, presence, and power of Jesus into every part of our community. We believe transformation happens when people encounter Jesus personally and when His church lives out His heart for the city. Our mission is to reach the lost, restore hope, and rebuild lives through prayer, service, and the demonstration of God’s Kingdom—right here where we live. We’re committed to being a light in the darkness, meeting needs, and seeing entire neighborhoods changed by the goodness of God.

THE VISION

Our vision is a city awakened to Jesus—where every street, school, home, and heart is touched by His love. We see revival that impacts culture, families strengthened by faith, and communities united in purpose. We believe the city belongs to Jesus, and through His people, it will be transformed by His presence and power.
