Columbia Life Church was originally named The Crossing Life Center and began public worship services in 1991. Our first home was the old Troutdale Post Office building on 2nd and Buxton in downtown Troutdale. In 1994 the name was changed to Columbia Life Center and In 1999 the original building was sold to the city of Troutdale and God miraculously provided the means to purchase our present facility. Our first worship service in this facility was held on Sunday, May 16, 1999.

In May of 1998 Pastor Jerry became the 3rd pastor of this very young church. When he came there were 12 members but by the end of his second year the membership had doubled and a strong and vibrant core group of families were established.

2006 brought even more changes as we changed our name to Columbia Life Church and we became a sovereign church affiliated with the Assemblies of God.
