WELCOME
to the First Baptist Church
of Portland, Oregon!
On this website, you'll be able to find information about First Baptist Church, our beliefs, our service to the community and the world, and our church family. Look for pictures of our congregational life in our church photo album. We are an American Baptist congregation committed to being "Ambassadors for Christ to the Heart of the City."
We'd be delighted to have you join us any Sunday for worship or Sunday School, or for one of our other weekly gatherings. See the many opportunities to be connected and involved in the life of First Baptist Church.

Annual All-Church picnic at Oaks Park will be on Sunday July 25th at 12:30 P.M. There will be excellent food in a casual setting, raffles, and amusement-park rides. Tickets will be sold at the park on the day of the event; $6.00 per person or $18 per family; optional all-you-can-ride bracelets will be sold separately. Children 3 and under are free. Click here for a map with directions from FBC to the park, or ask at the church Visitor Center for carpool matching.
Outdoor Worship! On Sunday, August 8, our 11:00 service will be held outdoors, in the middle of SW Taylor Street between 11th and 12th. All three language departments will worship together, so come and join us for family-friendly worship and special music. Following the service will be a block party featuring food, carnival-style games, and music by the Solid Rock Worship Band.
Home Bible studies replace our mid-week gathering for the summer. Groups are meeting at the home of Bettie Jones (inner SW Portland) and Dick and Pat McKevitt (Beaverton). It isn't too late to join a group and learn more about Paul's letter to the Ephesians! Contact the church for more more information.
Special summer events for youth include Wednesday evening Bible study in the park, fun Thursday night events, and Tuesday morning events for children (preschool-5th grade). See the Youth Ministry page for more details.
