ABOUT GETHSEMANE LUTHERAN CHURCH
Gethsemane Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Oregon Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We were formed from the creative combining of 2 small churches in east Portland/Multnomah County in 1964; Hope Lutheran and Mount Olivet… each with roots from different Lutheran denominations!
The property of the old Tiny Dumont’s dance hall at 117th and Market was purchased and together the newly formed Gethsemane Lutheran Church turned it into a new interpretation of a center for community and celebration. 60 years later, being a center for community and gathering continues to drive our work together as we serve the community and share in worship and fellowship together!
MISSION STATEMENT
We are forgiven and called by God to proclaim the Good News of Christ. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our mission is to serve both the physical and spiritual needs of all people in our changing society. We welcome all races, abilities, genders, and sexual orientations.
