Mannahouse Church (formerly City Bible Church) is a non-denominational Christian megachurch located in Portland, Oregon, U.S. Their five campuses have six English services, three Spanish services, one Burmese service and multiple other international groups. Their Rocky Butte Campus serves as their headquarters. Mannahouse Church is Nondenominational and is not connected with or a part of any particular denomination (though partners with Ministers Fellowship International for certain purposes, like their Bible College).
History
[edit]The church started as a group of 13 people in 1951. The church grew rapidly, soon starting a Bible college, tape ministry, a Christian school and a Publishing house. In 2003, a second campus was opened in Tigard, soon followed by campuses in Vancouver, Washington and Downtown Portland and then a church they had planted in Eugene, Oregon became a campus. In 2018, the church changed its name from City Bible Church to Mannahouse Church to "better reflect the role that God has called us to in our time and culture."[1]
