A long heritage of the Maine tradition of open and accepting Christianity is on display within the elegant walls of State Street Church. Founded in 1852, the church has long been consciously progressive, arguing for abolitionism from the time of its founding. More recently, LGBTQ rights have been supported, as the flag that flies outside its door proclaims. In the 1960s, the church was known for its coffee house programs, which aimed to help people who felt alienated and lonely become part of a community at a difficult historical moment. Visit State Street Church during the week to admire its impressive architecture or attend a service to get a sense of the church’s and Portland’s ethic. Stroll along the leafy street to the church, which seems almost incongruously medieval against the solid New England homes that stand on either side of it. Notice the redbrick exterior. The gray stone usually used for Gothic and Gothic Revival churches acts as a visual rhyme between the church and its neighbors. Crane back to look to the top of the proud tower that sticks up into the sky, drawing together Portlanders in search of spiritual guidance. Linger at the exterior, or, on Sundays, join the people inside the church. Listen to the joyful sounds of the Roosevelt organ, which was installed in 1892\. Mingle with churchgoers and learn more about the history of Maine’s biggest city and current life of its citizens. State Street Church is located on the border between Portland’s downtown and the West End, easily accessible from many of the city’s biggest landmarks. Walk from the Portland Museum of Art in 7 minutes. The city’s Transportation Center, with bus and rail connections, is a 7-minute drive, 18-minute bus ride or 35-minute walk away. Portland International Jetport is a 35-minute bus ride or 10-minute drive away. Metered street parking is widely available just outside the church, though this can fill during services. Portland itself is easy to navigate on foot or using public transportation. The church is open only during services on Sunday mornings. ## Plan a trip to see State Street Church Price found within the past 48 hours.
