Located in the rapidly growing part of suburban Northwest Portland, Oregon known as Bethany, we are just two miles North of Sunset Highway (Hwy. 26) from the Cornell Rd. / Bethany Blvd. exit (exit 65).  We are located at the intersection of NW Kaiser Rd. and NW Springville Rd., East of Portland Community College (Rock Creek), South of Germantown Rd., and North of the Bethany Village shopping mall.
 
Established in June of 1873 as "Erste Deutsche Presbyterianischer Kirche zu Bethanien, Oregon" ("The First German Presbyterian Church of Bethany"), Bethany Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) is firmly rooted in the rich traditions of rural Oregon farming and agriculture, but with an equally firm commitment to reaching out to the growing modern community around us.
 
 
Our Mission Statement

    We are called to live a life centered in Christ.
    We share the Good News of salvation with our neighbors. We care for others.
    We dare to grow in understanding God's Word.
    We invite all to know and follow Christ in the faith, hope, and love of our established Presbyterian community.


    Our Faith
     
    We are the Body of Christ, reliant on the Bible, led by the Holy Spirit, and united by the Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA) constitution and confessions. By God's grace, we offer ourselves to Christ and share Christ with others. We seek to share our love of Jesus Christ by opening our arms and hearts to everyone. We welcome all people into our community of faith, encouraging growth in Christ and service in the church and in the world. Truly, we offer ourselves to Christ and share Christ with others!
     
     
    Our Church Community 

    Bethany is a diverse community with a growing membership. We provide a joyful worship experience that blends contemporary and traditional formats together in one service. Mission has been historically important to us. We provide direct support to both local and international mission activities. At Bethany, we grow in our faith through Worship, Mission, Christian Education, and Fellowship.

    VERSE OF THE DAY:
    We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true -- even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. -- 1 John 5:20
