Portland/Vancouver Area Church Services
Services are held each Sabbath 11:00 am.
We would like to welcome you to the Portland, Oregon congregation of the United Church of God!
Jesus Christ taught us: "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" (John 8:32). Finding real truth in today's confusion of religious teachings brings real freedom, but it can be a challenge. Our goal is to teach and live the whole truth of the Bible and prepare for the coming Kingdom of God. We are following the example of the Apostle Paul, who declared, "...the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27).
We assemble on the weekly Sabbath Day, as Jesus and the Apostles did. We keep the annual Holy Days that Jesus, the Apostles, and the early New Testament Church kept, and we teach the same doctrines taught to the early New Testament converts.
We invite you to come and learn—we hope you'll find here what you've been looking for. If you seek to understand the awesome plan of God better, we welcome you to join us. From July through September, we meet at 11:00 am; starting in October, we resume 1:00 pm services.

We are also driven to proclaim God’s message of hope and repentance to the nations. So we share His love and truth passionately, seeking to teach all the things Christ commanded. We are a part of an International association of over 430 congregations around the world dedicated to preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God in all the world. We want to be known to all by our care, concern and love.
Friendly and Enthusiastic
We are a friendly, enthusiastic congregation that strives to follow the example of Jesus Christ. What’s most important to God is most important to us. It's about loving relationships - first with God the Father and Jesus Christ and also with each other. Loving God, sharing His truth and loving people like you, is a simple way to say what we’re all about.
I hope and pray you will enjoy our site, check out our biblical teachings, and get to know us. You can learn a lot about our church by spending some time browsing our site, yet, there’s nothing like visiting in person to learn more about the United Church of God. I hope you will come be our guest, and experience our church firsthand. I look forward to meeting you when you do. Until then, may God richly bless you.
