New Temple Building Program

The faithful of Archangel Gabriel Orthodox mission have grown tremendously over the years. What began as a small gathering of faithful in the living rooms in the 1970’s grew into the parish it is today.

Archangel Gabriel moved into a store front space in April of 2015. The parish began plans to move onto a 7 acer parcel of land that was donated to them in 2014. The property is located at 647 South Valley View Road in Ashland, Oregon.

The initial plan was to build a temple on the property that would reflect the beauty of God’s church. But over time, it became apparent that goal might be too much for the still growing parish. The faithful have quickly outgrown the store front space and are in desperate need of a much larger space.

Phase 1

In November of 2024, the parish unanimously voted to split the building program into two phases. The first phase will be to build a multi-purpose building on the property. This phase will allow us to begin serving the Divine Services on the land. This will also allow us to start using the cemetery that we have on the property. The new building will give us additional space, better facilities like a kitchen and additional restrooms, and position us for the second phase. You can find more information on phase 1 of the program below.

This is the multi-purpose trapeza that we hope to build in phase one of the building program.

Phase 2

In time, and after we have had time to grow into the multi-purpose building, we will begin the second phase of the project and implement the final vision for the property. The campus will look very similar to the the designs in the initial project with very minor changes.
