WORSHIP AT fIRST cHURCH

Our worship services are the best way to gather information about First Church, our missions, values, ministries, and to get to know our community.

10:30 AM Traditional Service

Our excellent Chancel Choir joins with our organ to help create worship that is inspiring and powerful. Children ages 3 – Grade 2nd grade also meet after the Children’s Sermon for Children’s Church.  Communion is taken on the first Sunday of each month.

8:30 AM Chapel Service

In this informal service we include newer songs with piano accompaniment. Every week there are four different stations set up for responding to the sermon in your own way.

Plan Your Visit

What to Wear

Whatever you wear in your everyday walking-around life. Jeans to sport coats, t-shirts to blouses, shorts to pleated khakis, are all fine. Yes, even socks with sandals.

Nursery Care

Nursery care is provided on Sunday mornings for infants and young children. If a special event follows morning worship, nursery care is extended. Our nursery staff are CPR certified and background checked.

Sunday School

Classes for adults, Youth, and Children meet at 9:30 am onsite. Additionally, there is an adult class that meets online at 8:45 am on Sunday mornings.

Parking

Access the main church lot by going south on 18th street from Jefferson, then turn right into the driveway behind the Sanctuary. Additional parking is available on the east side of 18th street.

Public Transportation

We are located at the Goose Hollow Tri-Met stop and can be reached by the Red and Blue Max lines, and 6, 58 and 68 bus lines. Additionally bus lines 51 and 63 are only a few blocks away.

Accessibility

Most of our campus is on a single level with few places requiring a ramp or elevator to access. We have many handicapped parking spaces close to our Sanctuary and Collins Hall entrances. For worship we provide large print bulletins and hearing assistance devices.

YouTube

We broadcast our worship services as well as devotional messages and other videos to our YouTube Channel.

Music

Our music is crafted in a way that the hymns and choruses work in harmony with the spoken word.

Coffee Fellowship

After both services we meet for a time of fellowship, treats, and locally sourced, fair-trade coffee and tea provided by World Cup Coffee.
