We are a welcoming community of diverse individuals promoting love, reason and freedom in religion, fostering lifelong spiritual growth, and acting for social justice.

As a spiritual community, as a people who choose to follow their spiritual path in genuine and meaningful ways, we yearn for a world that's transformed.

At First Church, our passion stems from deeply held convictions that move us to seek meaning and relationship.

Ours is a free religious faith. We embrace the rich diversity of beliefs that weave the fabric of our contemporary world as we promote programs, events, and activities throughout the year.

We seek common places where we grow and move together to work for a more just and compassionate world. Our voice is carried beyond our local and spiritual community here in Portland, Oregon, to the broader world.

Our spiritual community draws from a long heritage of social activism. Our church leadership was instrumental in establishing many of the civic institutions that we cherish here in Portland, and we continue to provide progressive leadership today.

We are a community at First Unitarian Church of Portland. Together we are on this spiritual journey, and we welcome you to join us.

"We need not think alike to love alike."
Francis David (1510 - 1579)
