History

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. In 2018, the church changed its name from City Bible Church to Mannahouse Church to "better reflect the role that God has called us to in our time and culture." [1] Mannahouse operates a music school. [2]
