Southwest Bible Church

What Southwest Bible Church does

Southwest Bible Church is a non-denominational Christian church headquartered at 14605 SW Weir Rd, Beaverton, Oregon, operating as a private religious nonprofit with 26 employees. It runs two Sunday worship services each week at 8:30am and 11:00am, supplemented by a seasonal outdoor summer program (July through early September) and a digital livestream distributed through swbible.online.church. The church operates a broad ministry portfolio segmented by life stage: SWKIDS for children, SWYOUTH for middle and high school students, an 1824 ministry for young adults, SWWOMEN for women, adult programs, and offsite Home Groups for deeper fellowship. Digital infrastructure consists of a Squarespace-hosted website, a Church Center online giving platform for tithes and offerings, an ACS public event calendar, and an on-demand media library of sermon recordings and teaching series.

The business model is donation-driven: services are provided free to attendees, and revenue is generated through recurring tithes and offerings collected both in-person and online. A wholly-owned subsidiary, Southwest Christian School, has operated as a Pre-K through 12th grade Christian school since 1973, providing an additional tuition-based revenue stream. The church also maintains a network of roughly a dozen external ministry partnerships — most notably Dunes Bible Camp (youth summer camps), Western Seminary, Gideons International, Luis Palau Evangelistic Association, and Portland Rescue Mission — that extend its programmatic reach into missions, evangelism, rescue, and chaplaincy. No financial figures are publicly disclosed.
