Visiting Us?
Here are some things to know
From Pastor Charlie
As the pastor of Gresham First Baptist Church, I want to welcome you to our website. There is a fair amount of information here, so let me boil it down for you.
To state our purpose as succinctly as possible, I would use two words: Jesus Christ. We are here because of Him.
If you decide to visit us, and we hope you will, we would truly enjoy meeting and getting to know you. And if you spend any time with us, you will quickly discover that we are far from perfect. In many ways we are like everyone else, dealing with all the stuff life throws our way.
Our church is not a place for perfect people,
but for imperfect people to find faith, hope and healing.
The Bible says Jesus Christ came to earth full of grace and truth. Many of us have experienced His amazing grace and truth which includes His love, forgiveness and gift of life So it is a true privilege to share with others Jesus and all He offers.
My prayer for you is that you too will experience Jesus Christ and His life changing grace and truth.
Pastor Charlie

It’s always wise to have a purpose. It is no different for a church. In fact purpose becomes very important because of the eternal implications!

As stated, our purpose is WHAT we do. The Vision of First Baptist Church of Gresham is WHY we do those things.
Our vision is based on Matthew 22: 36 when Jesus was asked what’s the greatest commandment. We took Jesus’ answer to heart and developed a simple, memorable phrase that is to guide all that we do; “Becoming fully devoted followers of Christ, drawing others to Him.”
We recognize that the key to our Faith is our relationship with God and next to that is our relationship with others.
The people of First Baptist Church of Gresham are a committed, loving body of Christ. We know Him and love Him. We continually strive to follow Him and obey Him.
Do you want to know Him more? Spend some time with us!
Our fellowship was founded in 1882 as the Bethel Baptist Church and the first building was built in 1886. In 1962 a new sanctuary and fellowship hall replaced the parsonage. In 1978 the old building was moved to the city park so a large addition with class rooms and larger fellowship hall could be added to the new building.
We are a member of American Baptist Churches of the Central Pacific Coast - ABCCPC.
