First Church is a progressive, spiritual community that works together to advocate on behalf of those in need, while also providing a refuge of inclusive Christianity. First Church is a proud member of the Reconciling Ministries Network, and welcomes individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
Visiting
All First Church services, classes, meetings, and ministries are held in-person and online. For livestream worship services visit our Livestream page.
Our church building is located at 180 Denny Way, just across 2nd Ave from the Pacific Science Center. Our sanctuary entrance is on 2nd Ave, and our office entrance is on Denny Way.
We gather for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30AM to hear the gospel message of Jesus, to connect with community, and to explore together ways we can serve those in need. We’d love for you to join us for worship and fellowship.
You’ll find free parking for church and church activities in our garage just west of the church building. First-time visitors can park on Level P5 for a quick walk across the alley to the church. Enter the garage on Warren Avenue or in the alley in between the church and garage.
