Our Beautiful Campus
By John Muirheard --
Did you know that our beautiful 22 acres of property was once part of a large dairy farm owned by the Raz family? Cows once roamed the hills we now enjoy. The farmhouse, that sits on the northwest corner of our building is over a hundred years old! Our buildings, built in 1991 and 1996 are used not only by our GPBC faith community, but by over 20 outside groups who are incredibly grateful for space to gather. We continually receive compliments regarding the quality of our facilities and the friendliness of our people. (If you’d like to see all the groups that use our facilities, see below.)
The 15-hole disc golf course attracts players from all over the state. Hundreds of people walk their pets, stroll the pathways or play a round of disc golf on our property daily. There are many ways to reflect the love of Jesus to the people around us, and one of those is providing a place where people can gather for worship, prayer, teaching, meetings, or even games and relaxing with friends.
I am privileged to serve you as property manager. May God continue to be visible through our hospitable church to the SW Portland community!
