In 2001, according to God's will, a new church was born. It was given a beautiful name, Friends of Christ. It was formed during a time of mass immigration of the Slavic people. From its formation and to this day, we, as members of Slavic Evangelical Church Friends of Christ, are working for His glory, fulfilling the holy will of God. With the blessing of elders from Eben Ezer Church, a building was purchased on San Rafael Street in Portland, Oregon. Here Friends of Christ Church was founded. In 2016, Friends of Christ Church celebrated its fifteenth anniversary. Over the years, the church met and overcame many difficulties, but today it is a friendly close-knit family. The Lord has greatly blessed His church.

The church has multiple departments, schools, and ministries. Ivan Golub has been the senior pastor since the formation of the church. Senior Pastor Ivan Golub is responsible for the spiritual and moral state of the church members. The church has a missions outreach ministry. Pastor Victor Uzhva is responsible for organizing and preparing missionary groups. Pastor Andrey Bagnyuk overlooks the missionary finance department. The administrative department of the church is headed by Deacon Andrey Krivolenkov. The financial state of the church is overlooked by Deacon Dmitriy Kalachev. Deacon Gennadiy Golubev is responsible for security and order in the church. Brother Yelisey Kharitonenko oversees the church's group of media technicians. Friends of Christ Church runs several schools. These include Sunday school for children and teens, and Russian language classes.
