We are thrilled to have you join the journey in this inclusive community, where we strive to make everyone feel warmly welcomed. Stop by our Welcome Desk in the lobby every Sunday morning to meet our friendly volunteers. Whether you’re exploring your personal spiritual journey or seeking a supportive environment, you’ll find a place here.

Services: Join us for weekly worship services (in-person or online) as we come together to nurture our spirits and work towards social justice. Come early on the first Sunday of most months for a free pancake breakfast at 8:45 a.m. Stay after for our Social Hour to meet the community and explore our different groups & activities. On most second Sundays, we have our “Souper Sunday,” and on most third Sundays, we join together in song. We look forward to getting to know you.

Children & Youth: Our vibrant programs and activities foster connection and personal growth for children, youth, and families. Visit our Learning Community page to learn more about our nursery care and classes for six months through high school. Come check us out on a Sunday morning—no RSVP needed!

Learning More: Welcome Circles are offered each week following the service, providing newcomers an opportunity to meet leaders and ask questions. For those interested in learning more about our community, we host a First Steps class on the first Sunday of each month to meet church leaders, hear about our programs, ask questions, and tour the campus.

Membership: A few times a year, a Considering Membership class is offered, where we discuss the deeper engagement of becoming a member at First Unitarian Portland. For an overview, visit the Becoming a Member page. If you already know that you are ready to make the commitment to membership, you can contact me to receive a Considering Membership Packet.

I am always available by email or phone (503-444-4480) to help you find your way to belonging in our congregation. Subscribing to our weekly Front Steps e-news is the best way to stay up to date on all that we are offering each week, and you can always check our calendar of events for a comprehensive view of what’s happening.

Whether you’re just visiting or looking to make First Unitarian your spiritual home, we’re here to support you on your journey.

Yours on the journey,

Jen Thomas
Member Engagement Coordinator
