Testimonials

When we moved to Portland we found the Good Times table a great source for fun events and connecting to the community.

– Bill and Ellie Kirkham

Most everyone we know at First Church, we met through the Good Times. We greatly appreciate these friendships.

– Cindy and Jay Beeks

I have met many wonderful people through the wide variety of inclusive activities. I want to help people become involved in the church. I support Good Times by coordinating the staffing at the Good Times table.

– Jaime Smith

At first I was overwhelmed by the size of the church. Good Times was small enough for me to begin to make new friends.
