Our church embraces people of all backgrounds and faiths.  We nurture the spiritual path of each individual. 

We are a community of people who search for meaning and relationship. We are characterized by diversity - a diversity of beliefs, sexual orientations, social and political philosophies, all meeting as one in a common community of faith.

We promote and sponsor many programs, events and activities throughout the year that draw people from our congregation as well as from the local and regional community.  Our community welcomes constructive dialog and meaningful debate and discussion.

We draw from a heritage of social activism. We work for the common good, for social and economic justice.  Our church leadership helped form many of the great civic institutions that we value in Portland today.  We build on those who came before us for those who will come after us.

Explore our Religious Education programs, for children, for youth, and for adults, and find out what's happening with the Buchan Building.  See what it means to become a member of First Church, and listen to or subscribe to our podcasts.  Read Sunday sermons and what future sermons will be, or see our partner church in Budapest, Hungary.

We come together in community. We serve our congregation and the world beyond our borders.  We welcome you to join us in this community.
