About First Assembly of God
First Assembly of God in Portland, Maine has been a cornerstone of the community since its founding in 1908, when Rev. Arthur Chase began gatherings with just twelve people at a rented space. The church relocated to its current location at 243 Cumberland Avenue in 1917 and built its sanctuary in 1918, which remains its home today—a remarkable continuity of ministry spanning over a century. Under the leadership of Senior Pastor M.S. Abraham since 2001, the congregation emphasizes spiritual nourishment and equipping believers for Christian service. The church offers multiple worship opportunities including Sunday morning and evening services, Wednesday Bible study and worship, and Friday prayer meetings, with online options available for those unable to attend in person. First Assembly of God welcomes visitors to experience its vibrant Pentecostal tradition and join a congregation committed to reaching new generations in Portland.
