I like that there's a lot of parking, which is very rare in Portland. I also love that they have a microphone so it's easier to hear. I wish they had cushions on the pews for people with back issues like myself but I understand it's expensive.

Lots of terrific New England history in this building!read more

On the surface it seems loving when you first go and there ARE lovely people who attend this church. However, you will soon figure out that there is no accountability of the leadership and certain ones are treated in a very unjust and unkind manner-- not in the way that you'd expect Christians to conduct themselves. We know ones (including ourselves) who stopped going for this very reason.

The sheep complained to God, saying,…read more "O Creator of the Universe, you have created many evil creatures who pursue me to slay me. To the ram you gave horns, to the deer you gave speed, to the chameleon you gave the ability to change colors and blend with its background. But You have given me no defense." God asked the sheep, "What shall I do to help you? Would you like sharp teeth so that you might bite your attackers? Or fierce claws in place of your soft hooves?" The sheep replied: "I don't want sharp teeth or vicious claws like a beast of prey. I haven't the fierce nature to use such things." God asked, "Would you like poisoned fangs?" The sheep shivered. "Poison? No! It frightens me and everyone hates the snakes and spiders that have it. But You have created me as a likeable creature, gentle and mild, as I like to be." So the Holy One, the Blessed, said: "I will grow great horns from your forehead." But the sheep answered: "O God, You have given horns to my mate, the ram. And all day long the rams batter one another, showing off. Shall I grow prideful like the rams or as fierce as some wild buffalo? I WOULD RATHER BE HELPLESS THAN CRUEL." God smiled and said: "You please me because you wish to remain as I created you, gentle and kind. But I will not leave you without protection. See, I have given you a coat of thick wool, white and soft as snow. Go now, and show it to Adam. He will love you for it. He will take your coat each year to make clothing and blankets for himself and all his kin. So he will keep you close and protect you from all your enemies." FROM THAT DAY TO THIS, THE SHEEP HAVE HAD THEIR SHEPHERD; AND THE SHEPHERD HAS PROTECTED THE SHEEP. (Seymour Rossel) I was in desparate need of a pastoral counselling session and The Chief Shepherd led me (all the way from South Florida!) to Dr. Keith Moore /FBCP. If you are a sheep in the Portland area and feel your need for a pastor, not a mega-church rock concert multi-programmed event country club, with all their fees and masks, please do not let any bear, lion or even the goats, stop you from receiving Dr. Moore's shepherding. He loves The Good Shepherd and will show you The Blood of The Lambkin. Their service is at 10:00 am Sundays, and that is as good a place as any to begin! If you are desparately wounded and know you need something stronger, please ask for a free copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls coloring book Dr. Moore has to give you, in a one on one counselling session. You will be glad you did! Hallelujah Ha Dam! The sheep complained to Gott, saying, "O Creator of the Universe, you have created many evil creatures who pursue me to slay me.

It has been a good 20 years at least since I've been there, A lot of things have changed with time, many losses, the biggest of these being my pastor Brother Reynolds, and of course his beautiful wife on the organ every Sunday. I grew up attending Church there, and of course, barely missed a tent revival. Well, I could go on for pages, but I'm afraid I'm going to run out of space.
