The Cambodian department of FBC Portland meets for Cambodian-language worship every Sunday in the FBC Community Center. This department of the church, under the leadership of Pastor Peter Im, has supported numerous missionaries and mission trips to Cambodia.
The Cambodian department has its own website, which can be viewed at http://cambodianministry.org/ .

One example of the connection between our church and distant lands was recently described in an International Ministries Update newsletter:
Ties That Bind Between Oregon and Cambodia
The Cambodian congregation of First Baptist Church in Portland, Ore., had its own mission explosion experience earlier this year with the arrival of ABC missionaries John and Debbie Coats, on United States assignment from Cambodia.
The congregation, many of whom came to the United States as refugees from the Cambodian killing fields, has supported the Coats' mission in their homeland for several years.
With the desire to get their Cambodian members connected to these missionaries serving in that country, the Mission Outreach Committee of the church, working with their region, paid the transportation costs and brought the Coats to Portland for five days of dialogue and fellowship with the church.
Following that time together, the Cambodian congregation donated money for the purchase of a state-of-the-art digital camera to help Debbie in her diagnosis and treatment of patients in the rural areas of Cambodia. The camera can also be used to send pictures via the Internet to keep ABC churches up-to-date on the Coats' mission.
