Saint David of Wales Episcopal Church

About this church

Saint David of Wales Episcopal Church in southeast Portland gathers for hybrid worship Sunday at 10 a.m., both in the sanctuary and on Zoom, followed by coffee. A Taizé service is offered on the third Sunday of each month at 5 p.m. Midweek opportunities include Tuesday noon Bible study and Wednesday morning prayer at 10. The accessible entrance is the red chapel door on Southeast Harrison Street; from its ramp, worshipers pass the chapel and continue into the main sanctuary. The parish says it takes its liturgy seriously without taking itself too seriously, giving newcomers a useful sense of tone.

This open and affirming congregation describes itself as a neighborhood mix of seekers and followers of Christ drawn to reverent liturgy, intellectual and spiritual engagement, sensory worship, and good coffee. Children up to age nine can use staffed care from 9:30 a.m. to noon, while Godly Play serves ages three through eleven during the 10 a.m. service. Ministry teams support worship, hospitality, pastoral connection, buildings and grounds, community partnerships, and hybrid technology. Justice and Mercy outreach listens to organizations already doing local social-justice work and invites parishioners to contribute resources and action alongside neighbors. The landmark 1952 building now houses the Episcopal congregation, another church community, and local nonprofits. Families should enter through the accessible Harrison door and ask whether children will use childcare or Godly Play before worship begins.
