About us
Sunday Assembly Portland is a 501c3 non-profit secular community. We celebrate life.
Our motto: Live Better, Help Often, and Wonder More
We are the Portland Chapter of the international movement called Sunday Assembly. We provide a non-religious alternative where people can come together at monthly assemblies to sing uplifting songs, share inspiring stories, and hear engaging lectures. Between assemblies we have small groups that focus on a wide range of interests as well as volunteer projects in the Portland area. We strive to be radically inclusive, family-friendly, and create a supportive community as we take full advantage of this one life we know we have.
Sunday Assembly Portland is free and everyone is welcome!

"The Friendly House" Community Center, NW 26th and Thurman, Portland, OR, USNote - This is a Humanists of Greater Portland (HGP) event being shared on the former Portland Sunday Assembly Meetup page.

HGP First Sunday - The People's Depot: Redeeming People Through Bottle Redemption
This People's Depot, a program of Ground Score Association, is a one of a kind bottle redemption program located underneath the Morrison Bridge in the Central Eastside. Started during the height of covid, "TPD" has gone from humble beginnings to influencing the latest changes in the Oregon bottle bill in 2025. Bottle redemption has always been a polarizing topic of discussion here in Portland. Hear from Kristofer Brown, who manages day to day operations at the depot, on what The People's Depot is and how it is different from the rest of the redemption world, who uses our depot services, why this work is crucial in todays modern landscape, and other thoughts related to bottle redemption and homelessness.
(First Sundays start with 1/2 hour of music and offer childcare.)
