New to Portland State University?
Find a Church Family While You're in Portland.
Starting college is one of life's biggest transitions. Whether you're a freshman, transfer student, graduate student, international student, or returning for another semester at Portland State University, finding genuine community can make all the difference.
Welcome Meal After Service
After the service, stay for free pizza and get to know people who call Portland Gospel Church home. You'll also learn about our weekly Bible study for Portland State University students—a place to study God's Word, ask honest questions, and build lasting friendships with others who are seeking to follow Christ.
Whether you've been in church your whole life or you're simply curious about Christianity, you'll find a warm welcome here. Our desire is to help students discover hope, purpose, and a church family while they're living in Portland, Oregon.
Parents and Family Are Welcome!
Parents and family members helping students move to Portland are also welcome. We'd love the opportunity to meet you and help your student get connected to a Christ-centered church family during their college years.
Welcome from Our Pastor
College is an exciting season, but it can also feel overwhelming when you're new to a city. I'd love the opportunity to meet you, answer any questions you have, and help you find a church family where you can grow in your relationship with Christ. I hope you'll join us this Sunday.
- Pastor Thomas
