BRIEF HISTORY The Sunnyside Presbyterian Church traces its roots back to 1901 and the Reverend James M. Thompson of Columbia River Presbytery. In cooperation with the Baptist, Brethren, Christian, Congregational, and Methodist congregations a Presbyterian congregation joined to become the Federated Church of Sunnyside. There were 19 charter Presbyterian members in 1901. In 1904 the Presbyterian group withdrew from the Federated Church to form their own church, the Sunnyside Presbyterian Church. In the beginning the congregation met in a building that belonged to the Brethren Church, until it was decided to build a new church of its own on the corner of what are now Eighth Street and Edison. This beautiful church with stained glass windows, bell tower, and Sunday school rooms was dedicated on June 30, 1912 and served the congregation until our current church on 16th Street was completed in 1960. In August of 2004 the congregation of the Sunnyside Presbyterian Church celebrated its 100th year anniversary. The people of this congregation, from the beginning, have devoted themselves to ministry in Christ’s name through generation of change and growth. Today we continue to serve, rooted in faith, united in ministry, and reaching out into god’s world with love. |
