How to Get Tickets or More Information for Bridgeport UCC Events

Bridgeport United Church of Christ (Bridgeport UCC) handles tickets and event questions in two main ways, depending on the event. For the annual Drag Brunch, the church directs visitors to a ticket link on its website. For the monthly Candlelight Prayer services, you contact the event's organizer by email. For general worship and community questions, you can simply show up in person or join the Sunday Zoom service.

Drag Brunch Tickets

Bridgeport UCC hosts an annual Drag Brunch. The site's current notice says "Save the date! Drag Brunch on Oct 10th" and points to a "Get tickets to the DRAG BRUNCH Here" link on the page.

What the page confirms:

• The event is described as the "4th annual Drag Brunch."
• Tickets are obtained through the link the church provides on its own site.
• The church frames the event around its welcome of the "T" in LGBT and its support for transgender, nonbinary, masculine of center, gender fluid, and gender queer people.

What the page does not state: ticket prices, whether tickets sell out, age limits, or a refund policy. If any of those matter to you, ask before buying through the link.

Candlelight Prayer Services: Times and Contact

The Candlelight Prayer services are monthly, and the site gives a specific schedule for the next one:

The services are described as Taizé-style: repetitive, simple songs meant to quiet the mind. The church explicitly says this is "not just for the Bridgeport UCC community" — all people are welcome. If you want details beyond the time and date, email the address above.

Sunday Worship: In Person or on Zoom

Bridgeport UCC meets for worship each week at 10:30 AM PST, both in person and on Zoom. The site says the Zoom link can be found on its page.

Practical notes from the page:

• Masks are no longer required in the building at all times, but the church provides them for anyone who wishes to wear one.
• On-site child care is available, with a childcare provider and a nursery, so adults can attend the service.
• The church describes itself as intentionally inclusive of LGBTQAI+ people and welcomes visitors to bring "your questions, your doubts, and your curiosities."

Other Ministries and Events

The site lists several ministry teams and community programs beyond worship:

• Justice & Witness Ministry Team
• Worship & The Arts Ministry Team
• Beacon Village PDX Community
• Bridgeport Community Garden
• Junk In the Trunk — a community event; the site thanks everyone who came out to make the 2026 event a success.

The page does not give sign-up instructions, meeting times, or contacts for these teams and programs. If you want to get involved in one of them, the most reliable route is to attend a Sunday service or email the church and ask who coordinates that specific team.

How to Get Answers to Other Questions

The page offers a general invitation rather than a single contact form: "We encourage you to come with your questions, your doubts, and your curiosities." For anything not covered by the Drag Brunch ticket link or the Candlelight Prayer email, plan to ask in person at 621 NE 76th Avenue, Portland, OR, or during the Sunday Zoom service. The church identifies itself as an Anti-Racist, Open & Affirming, Just Peace, Immigrant Welcoming Congregation, and states it stands against racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism — useful context if you are deciding whether this community fits what you are looking for.
