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.
