About this Event
New to Portland State University? Find a church family while you’re in Portland.
Starting college—or beginning a new semester in a new city—can be exciting and overwhelming. Portland State University students, parents, family members, and friends are invited to Student Welcome Sunday at Portland Gospel Church.
Join us for a welcoming worship service, meet our pastor and church family, and stay afterward for free pizza. You’ll also have an opportunity to learn about our weekly Bible study for PSU students—a place to study God’s Word, ask honest questions, build meaningful friendships, and grow in your relationship with Christ.
Whether you’ve attended church your whole life, are searching for a church in Portland, or are simply curious about Christianity, you’ll receive a warm welcome. Students from other colleges are welcome too.
