We Care Program

The vision of We Care Program is to see the redemptive power of Christ become evident in the lives of inmates as they grow and make disciples in prison and beyond. Our mission is to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ through chaplaincy in the correctional setting. Our vision and mission statements are the goals that keep us entering prison each day to minister to the men and women behind bars.

First Unitarian Portland

At First Unitarian Portland, our passion stems from deeply held convictions that move us to seek meaning and relationship. As a spiritual community, and as people who choose to follow their spiritual path in genuine and meaningful ways, we yearn for a world that's transformed. We recognize that faith without works is empty. We draw upon a long heritage of social activism. Since our founding in 1866, our church leadership has been instrumental in establishing many of Portland's cherished civic institutions, and we continue to provide progressive leadership today. We seek common places where we can grow as a community, and work for a more just and compassionate world. And, our vision and message is carried beyond the Portland, into the wider world. Ours is a free religious faith. We embrace the rich diversity of beliefs that weave through the fabric of our contemporary world. These, in turn, inform our rich schedule of programs, events, and activities throughout the year.
