City Church Spends 23.5 Million for College Campus
Posted on June 29th, 2007 by catalyst into the The City Church categoryHere is something interesting from the Snohomish County Business Journal.
Trinity Lutheran College is relocating and…
Money for the relocation will come from the $23.5 million sale of Trinity’s current campus to The City Church of Kirkland. The college must move by 2009 under that agreement.
This is nice addition to their Capitol Hill rowhouse. And it will be like two bookends of prosperity keeping our country together.

They bought that place a while ago. It’s for their interns I believe. I’ve heard stories that the place is haunted though, or at least really creepy.

This kind of makes me wonder if there is some competition going on between SPFD and SPWS? Who is going to own the most real estate?
Who has the highest tithing congregation to allow the most extravagant land purchases?
Question; If Jesus said His kingdom was not of this world, (John 18:36) and the world is going to burn up, (2 Peter 3:10) WHY BUY so much wood hay and stubble?

Hah. that rooms not that scary, it makes it easier to beat all the gangstahs to the tasty lunch. PBC’s campus made me think of Hogwarts when I first got there, except more ghetto and not as fun. agh, i hope i dont kicked out for advocating harry potter, though i wasnt really
Anyways, city church charges less for their internship than PBC does for tuition (and like i said pbc is ghetto), when the only difference is that PBC is pretty much just a glorified internship; with Lanny Hubbard being the only teacher left who gives it any credit to be called a college.

Now, THAT’S funny.
Anybody remember before the domes were there? When it was the location of Judson Baptist College, and before all those surrounding houses were built on it? Well, Rocky Butte WAS a scary place; we used to ride our Yamaha Enduros up there, and the whole place was filled with lotsa, secretive, little dirt roads/trails leading deep into the undergrowth, which became extremely dark after sunset.
When we were in High School (Madison class of ‘75) Rocky Butte was one of two major hot spots (the West Hills/Washington Park being the 2nd) for parking, and going to either place, especially Rocky Butte meant only one thing: you were going there to “make out.” We’d go up there to park at the end of a date for some prolonged kissing, which of course, no self-respecting girl would allow unless you two were already “going steady,” and had been so for at least 3-4 months. With mock bravado, we referred to it as the Alamo…you know…”no survivors” (heh-heh).
Next day in class, we’d all compare notes on whose car we’d seen there, what they were driving, who was with who, and brag about how far we had (supposedly) gone, and speculate on how far everyone else had (supposedly) gone, with the stories/details almost always being severely exaggerated. In spite of our protestations otherwise, we would usually later find out we were all merely trying to outdo each other, and most of it was pretty innocent stuff, at least among my circle of friends it was. I guess nowadays, though, what with the “New Morality” (aka, the Old Immorality) no exaggeration would be necessary, would it?
Every time I visit Portland, I take a commemorative drive up one side of the Butte and down the other, just for old times’ sake.
I’ve often wondered if there is any hidden, symbolic parallelism to what goes on up there at CBC/PBC nowadays. Prolly not
