ABOUT COLLEGE STREET CHURCH

Sharing the Good News

with Newberg and Beyond

WHO WE ARE

College Street Church is a new Open Bible church in Newberg, Oregon, but our roots run deep. The property on College Street has been part of our denomination for over 50 years, and we’re excited to bring renewed vision to this historic church and serve our city in new ways. Led by Pastors Hannah and Jordan Bemis, we’re here to create a welcoming community where everyone can encounter the love of Jesus and grow in their faith.

OUR MISSION & VISION

Our mission is simple: Good News. Great Joy. All People. We exist to share the life-changing message of Jesus with everyone, no matter their story. We will not limit our love to those who are most like us but will instead do what Jesus did, joyfully opening our doors and our arms to people from every kind of background.   

Our vision is to Gather, Grow, and Go. As we do life and become more like Jesus together, we will naturally extend our arms beyond our walls. We hope to become a community that is missional and multiplying, made up of deeply-rooted, sent disciples.

OUR VALUES STATEMENTS

The following are statements that reflect our desired culture, but we recognize we will fall short at times. Leaning into the Holy Spirit’s help and holding each other accountable, we will strive to live these out and continue growing in each area. 

John 10:10 - "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” 

John 3:30 - “He must become greater; I must become less.” 

John 14:12 - “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” 

Romans 10:14-15 - “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
