Newberg Friends Church began as a congregation in 1878 (called Chehalem Monthly Meeting, which initially met in private homes). The current building was completed in 1893 and was structurally sound enough for the first Yearly Meeting to gather in July of 1893. The brick facade was completed later in the year. In these 141+ years, this church has shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity while striving to bring glory to Jesus and the kingdom of God.
Serving since 1878

Newberg Friends Church is part of the Friends (Quaker) family of churches in The American Church Story. 25 congregations of the Friends (Quaker) family gather across Oregon — 536 across the United States on The Church Map.
Friends were ahead of the whole church on abolition, on prison reform, and on the ministry of women, and they were ahead at real cost. Their practice of waiting on God together in silence is what the rest of the body borrows when words have run out.
