First Church Love

About this church

First Church Love is a Portland Pentecostal congregation where Sunday school begins at 11:00 a.m. and the main worship and preaching service starts at noon. The church characterizes worship as joyful and sincere, with singing and clapping, while making clear that guests are free to participate at their own comfort level. Services are also carried through YouTube, Facebook, and the church app. The overall invitation is informal—come as you are—rather than built around a dress code or prior church experience.

Families should know that children and youth have Sunday school at 11:00, but the church does not currently provide childcare during the noon service. First Church Love meets at 9008 North Smith Street. Street parking is available, along with a gravel lot across the street from the building, a useful detail on a first visit. The official planning guide also walks newcomers through the order and feel of a typical gathering, while the contact page provides a direct route for questions. Checking that guide before attending is especially helpful for families coordinating the education hour and worship.
