Let's have a fireside chat

We know everyone thinks it rains all the time in Oregon. It doesn't! We have lovely summers and crisp, dry evenings even in some of the rainy seasons. Our fireplace is the go to hang out to enjoy the nice weather. Who doesn't love a s'more with roasted marshmallows and a good fireside chat?

Need some peace & quiet?

Location: Prayer Chapel

The Prayer Chapel is a quiet, more secluded place up in the trees here on campus. It is often used for prayer and quiet times, and a place where people can go to enjoy the Presence of God in solitude, or together. Sometimes events or class are also held in the space. Any time in the prayer chapel is a magical time up in the trees!

Up in the trees our ropes course runs throughout the warmer months, often having groups from all over Oregon participate in team building exercises, class trips, even just for fun!

Our classrooms are specifically designed and decorated to fit your school theme and class size, as well as create an environment where learning more about God can become a reality!

Just like home

Our students stay in our campus dorm rooms! These dorms  are for you & your fellow students to sleep in, relax in, and ultimately have a personalized space that is yours for your time here! We believe that living together encourages community among students and staff creating an atmosphere of unity & accountability. 

Hang out with friends

Right outside of the dorm rooms is  the Harvest Lounge. The lounge is a place for you to hangout with other people and enjoy your free time playing board games, ping pong, air hockey, and foosball. Also feel free to lounge on the couches, read a book, or have a conversation!

Sometimes you just need to get outside - our walking path is perfect for a jog or walk and surrounds the whole campus taking you through the trees, around our staff houses, and into our fields.  You can use the path whenever you want, and is the perfect way to blow off steam, take a walk with Jesus, or a friend!
