First Christian Church of Eugene

About this church

First Christian Church in Eugene is a downtown congregation whose historic building, worship, music, prayer, and community ministries place it at the heart of the city. The present church was dedicated in 1911 and its Estey organ followed in 1913. Beyond the sanctuary, Helping Hearts distributes free clothing, while weekday prayer, handbells, choir, and instrumental rehearsals keep the building active across the week.

Prelude music begins Sunday at 10:20 a.m., followed by worship at 10:30 in person and remotely. Free parking immediately around the church is limited; visitors can obtain a slip for the Willamette Street lot, while other nearby lots charge. Helping Hearts is open Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 2:00 p.m. Wednesday prayer begins at 11:00 a.m., handbell rehearsal at 6:00 p.m., and choir at 7:30; musicians rehearse Thursday at 5:30. People coming for clothing assistance or rehearsal should not confuse those hours with worship. A first-time Sunday visitor should allow extra time to handle downtown parking and arrive for the prelude, while someone interested in the building’s civic role can explore its community-ministry and history pages before attending.
