churches in Oregon. We are conveniently located within about a 30 minute drive to Corbin
Christian University and a 60 minute drive to the Portland airport or the Oregon Coast.

spread the Gospel through radio broadcasts, a Bible seminary, a printing press, and a Christian
camp. In 1966, Canyonview Camp was born. His dream has become a legacy through the hard
work and prayers of many, continuing to make Canyonview a place that many call their
"second home.”
