In 1950, First Presbyterian Church of Portland purchased the property from the Meier family, who were pleased to see it dedicated as an ecumenical center, a gift in perpetuity to communities of people from around the world.
The estate’s name given by the Meiers, “Menucha,” fit this place so well that the church chose to keep it. The Hebrew word “Menucha,” (pronounced “Men-oo-ka”) conveys “rebuilding,” “renewing,” or “restoring.” It is found in Psalm 23 translated as “still” in the line “He leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul.”
Menucha serves about 400 groups annually (averaging 9,000 guests eating 42,000+ meals). In the early years of FPC’s ownership there were many youth camps; now we serve primarily adult retreats, workshops, family reunions, seminars and conferences of nonprofit organizations. We also offer many of our own programs in music, art, and church leadership.
At Menucha, we encourage and support purposeful work in this sacred space so that those who come here will return to their own communities rejuvenated and better able to serve their fellow human beings.
