Welcome to First Congregational United Church of Christ of Portland

 

OUR VISION        We
are a progressive
Christian community in the heart of Portland. We celebrate diversity
through our warm and inclusive welcome. In our worship and in our
lives,
we believe that God is still speaking and that the risen Christ lives
in and among us. We covenant together to:      Create a sacred space
that is accessible and welcoming to everyone;      Work for justice in
our community and in our world;      Express, in our living, a care for
creation and a stewardship of all God's resources;      Nurture our
relationships with one another through our listening and our caring;
Grow in faith, learning and service.      If this vision catches your
imagination, we invite you to join us. Whoever you are, whatever
household of faith into which you were born, whatever creed you
profess,
whatever your race, sexual orientation, or gender identity, we welcome
you.             "In essentials unity, in non-essentials
diversity,
in all things love."      At First Congregational United Church of
Christ, we believe in the free and open exploration of the issues that
form our faith. We do not believe that a single dogma can capture the
essence of God. We thus encourage all who worship here to apply
responsible scholarship, critical inquiry and open hearts and minds in
their quest to serve and understand God as revealed in Jesus Christ.
We have declared ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation. We
define “open and affirming” as covenanting with one another to create a
safe place for all people to worship regardless of race, creed, gender,
cultural background, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
