It was an abandoned pool hall in downtown Tillamook. But, the Stenberg family saw it as the perfect opportunity for a church.
In 1924, the roots of Tillamook Christian Center were planted.
The church’s base moved through the years. After leaving downtown, the church relocated to the corner of 7th and Pacific where it became known as the Pentecostal Tabernacle. By 1936, the church began its affiliation with the Assembly of God denomination. And in 1970 moved to its current location on Marolf Loop Road, adopting the name Tillamook Christian Center.
To commemorate their 100 years of history, the Tillamook Christian Center is inviting the community to their weekend-long celebration of “100 Years…Just Beginning.”
On Friday, Sept. 13, a dinner banquet will be held with former pastors Mike Hill, Dennis Archer, and Terry Sprenkel in attendance. An RSVP is encouraged to attend by contacting Pastor Tim Scarbrough at 503-524-8280 or by sending an email to tillamookchristian@gmail.com.
On Saturday, Sept. 14 from 11 am - 3 pm the church will host its “Kids and Family Day” with outdoor games, and a BBQ lunch. The event is free to attend.
Wrapping up the weekend will be the “Centennial Service”on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 10:30 a.m. Pastor Harold Johnson, whose grandfather pastored the church in the late 1940s, will be sharing a message. Music will take a walk through time with some favorite songs of the past.
