Jeremy Hajdu-Paulen said the church was approached by a community member concerned with the gap in learning that has happened for students in the pandemic. This community member approached another church, which quickly set up a hub to help one of the three middle schools in Tigard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"21957\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/greaternw.org\/news\/tigard-umc-creates-digital-hub-for-neighborhood-students\/learning-hub-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/learning-hub-3.png?fit=2025%2C1055&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2025,1055\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tigard UMC Learning Hub\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rev.

They host 10-12 students two mornings a week and one volunteer joins them. Their plan to use their building in this manner was also approved by their district superintendent, per the Greater Northwest Area \u201cReimagining Life Together\u201d guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hajdu-Paulen said the church council was overwhelmingly supportive of the idea and worked with the community member, who partnered with the school district and the middle school to identify students in need of extra support in their online learning. The schools in Tigard are just beginning to move to a hybrid model of online and in-person learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The church provides the internet access, socially-distanced desks and instructional support as the students all have district-issued iPads. Hajdu-Paulen said it turned out that many of the students coming to The Learning Hub are from the apartment buildings next-door to the church. Tigard UMC has partnered with their neighbors on a few initiatives before, so this felt like a natural extension of that connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t tell you how delighted our congregation is,\u201d Hajdu-Paulen said. \u201cPeople understand this is part of our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harmon has two children who are 10 and 13 and have been doing remote and\/or hybrid learning for the better part of a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI totally understand the struggle with online learning,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve just seen first-hand the difficulty of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harmon said she wishes the church could have done something sooner but is so happy that they\u2019re doing it now and grateful to see Tigard UMC continue to be in ministry even when they can\u2019t gather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have this giant, empty building that\u2019s not being used,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the pandemic is behind everyone, Hajdu-Paulen said he hopes it\u2019s just as easy for the church to continue supporting its neighbors through more partnerships and ministry opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reimagining ministry was easy for Tigard UMC.
