Staub Memorial Congregational Church, also known as Community Bible Fellowship and Sunnyside Congregational Church, is a church located in southeast Portland, Oregon. [1]

In 2011, Mars Hill Church bought the building and announced it would start a Portland congregation there. Controversy ensued due to perceptions that the church may be at odds with Portland's gay community. [2] [3]
