Sunnyside United Methodist Church, or Sunnyside Centenary United Methodist Church, is a church located at the intersection of Southeast 35th and Yamhill, in Portland, Oregon's Sunnyside neighborhood, in the United States.[1][2]
The congregation formed in 1890, at a shoe factory on Southeast 36th and Main. Members built a wooden structure in 1891, for $2,000. The present stone building was completed in 1911, and the church's 420 members made Sunnyside United Methodist one of the largest congregations in the Pacific Northwest.[1]
The church has housed Camp Fire summer Numanu, Children's Club, Common Cup (homeless shelter),[3] Hard Times Suppers,[4] PDX Toy Library,[5] Raphael House,[6] Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and basketball groups, among other organizations. In September 2015, the building became property of Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference.[1]
