Life really is about life-giving relationships! The kind of relationships that help you on the journey through life. We’re a community that’s been around for 70 years and discovered that those life-giving relationships start with Jesus. His plan for life, the way to relate to God, one another and the world around us really is the way it was designed to be.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man.
Isaiah 7:14; 9:6
Matthew 1:21
Luke 1:26-35
John 1:18

Derrill & Michal are the Lead pastors of Mannahouse. Derril & Michal met at Portland Bible College and were married soon after graduating. They served on the church staff under Dick & Edie Iverson and then Frank & Sharon Damazio. After planting and pastoring a multi-site church in the northwest for more than 15 years, Derrill and Michal Corbin returned to Mannahouse (formerly City Bible Church) where they now serve as Lead Pastors.
Michal owns and operates her own fitness studio, is very active in the community, and serves on a variety of teams in the church. They are known for their personal and creative leadership and insightful communication and are focused on and dedicated to discipling people into a movement that impacts people everywhere. Derrill & Michal reside in Camas, Washington with their three children, Mariah, Judah & Noah.
Mannahouse is governed, according to a New Testament model of Elders, who are led by the Senior Pastor.
Our Eldership has evolved over many years to effectively govern the ongoing health and growth of the Mannahouse church family. Elders must meet Biblical qualifications and must be proven as mature leaders among the church. Consideration for Eldership is also given to their vast experience, diversity of spiritual gifts, gender, cultural diversity, the needs of the church, and their multigenerational perspective.
The elders function in several sub-teams as a team of teams; Vision Leadership Team, Congregation Leadership Team, Stewardship Team, Portland Bible College Board, Mannahouse Christian School School Board, and a Properties Team. These empowered teams lead within specific parameters delegated to them by the Eldership. Regular reports from those teams are given to the Elders at monthly meetings for the purpose of unity and accountability in all matters of church oversight and governance.
At Mannahouse we are dedicated to relentlessly training, equipping and coaching leaders for every area of society.
By providing students from all over the world the opportunity to be educated through the Word of God in a richly pragmatic and spiritual environment at our education institutions we’ve been able to set generations of students and families up for success on their journey.
For the past 60 years, Mannahouse has prayed all over the world, trained thousands of qualified leaders and has outreached to people in need of the Gospel, hope and healing. Individuals, couples and families have left home and immersed themselves in communities and cities unknown to them.
In addition to 25 church plants across the United States, Mannahouse has planted churches and sent missionaries to multiple nations around the world including but not limited to: Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Egypt, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Romania, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Uganda.
God has called us to continue impacting these communities and other nations with Jesus Christ.
