Grace Church, Portland

About this church

Grace Church Portland gathers at 10:30 a.m. Sundays at the corner of Southwest 12th Avenue and Clay Street. The downtown congregation explicitly welcomes local residents, travelers, first-time church visitors, and people exploring Christian faith. Services normally finish around 11:45. The church publishes sermons online, allowing prospective guests to hear its teaching before attending in person.

Children of every age are welcome to remain with their parents throughout worship, including the sermon; the church's visitor language makes clear that normal movement and noise are not treated as a problem. Its location is accessible by Portland Streetcar, TriMet bus, and MAX, with public bike and scooter options nearby. Street parking is free until 1:00 p.m. Sundays, which covers the usual service window. Children and families programs, an international moms-and-kids English playdate, weddings, and a resource on healing from spiritual abuse broaden the church's public ministry. Visitors driving downtown should allow time to find street parking, while transit riders can use the stop details on the official planning page.
