About Us
GGBC History
Greater Gresham was founded in 1989 by four families who wanted a church designed to share God’s great news in the Gresham area. For the first twelve years the church met in rented facilities until moving into its current campus in 2001. This campus was made possible by the sacrificial giving of its members and the land and facilities provided when Mt. Hood Baptist Church joined Greater Gresham in 1997.

Greater Gresham’s purpose is “Sharing Christ – Building Believers – Impacting Our World.” Our structure, programs and decisions are based upon this simple, yet far-reaching, mission statement.
