We are Oregon’s oldest and largest Christian college and serve students at a number of locations, including a residential undergraduate campus in Newberg, a Portland Center, a Salem Site, and teaching sites in other Oregon communities.

Our undergraduate campus is a 108-acre, tree-shaded property in the city of Newberg. Experience a Christian university in our natural setting. After class, you can study or enjoy a relaxing time with friends on our landscaped grounds. Chat with classmates in the rose garden, read a book in the Centennial Tower’s shade, or escape down a trail in the wooded Hess Creek Canyon.
The campus has expanded in recent years to include more than 70 buildings. Our Hadlock Student Center opened in 2018 – a 48,000-square-foot facilty featuring three full basketball/volleyball courts, an elevated track, a fitness center and a rock-climbing wall.

Previously, in 2016, we opened our Canyon Commons dining hall, providing a dining experience overlooking the lush Hess Creek Canyon for up to 800. An athletic field facility, the Austin Sports Complex, is a 24-acre tract north of the campus that serves as home to our soccer and lacrosse teams.

Our facilities include science, engineering and nursing labs equipped with the latest equipment and software; the 1,150-seat Bauman Auditorium, which has such good acoustics that the Oregon Symphony records here; and excellent athletic facilities, including the Stoffer Family Stadium/Duke Athletic Center, home to our football and track programs.

Through numerous activities – sports, fellowship, study groups, Bible studies, etc. – our student body strives to create a fun, encouraging atmosphere.
