Our mission is simple, First Baptist Portland exists to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ in our church, community, and throughout the world. We achieve this by equipping the saints for ministry and engaging the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We achieve this by gathering regularly to pray, praise God, study His Word, and care for one another in community.
Our mission is simple, but it is the very reason why FBC Portland exists. Our goal is to disciple everyone we meet to a growing and intentional relationship with Jesus Christ.
Discipleship as a Culture
At FBC, our desire is to lead followers of Christ to grow in discipleship and sanctification. This process is designed to intentionally equip disciples of Jesus Christ with the Word of God through accountable relationships empowered by the Holy Spirit toward mission/ action, in order to multiply faithful followers of Jesus Christ.
Discipleship is Intentional
Discipleship does not happen by accident. It is intentional and it grows in community with other disciples of Christ.
