The Courtyard
The Courtyard is a place of sharing the relevance of Jesus Christ through the Alpha and Quest courses and other venues of video, entertainment and discipleship.
The Courtyard is a non-profit co-ed Christian residence (i.e., a really big house with lots of rooms) owned and operated by Relevance. 
The House is located at 25th & Harrison Streets., just blocks from the Oregon State University, and is within easy walking distance of all the University and shopping. Directions
As an outreach to the community, 3-4 evenings per week, additional guests will utilize a large portion of the main floor to conduct the Alpha and/or Quest courses. Alpha is an 9-week course on the fundamentals of Christianity. Quest is a 10-week virtual-tour of the Holyland. Residents are welcome and encouraged to participate or serve in these ministry courses.
The Courtyard is a place for late night, drug/alcohol-free, gathering place especially Thursday-Saturday nights with music, movies and beverages.

The purpose of the Courtyard is to provide an encouraging and economical living situation where about 48 Christian collegiate men and women can be built up in their relationships with Jesus Christ and with one another.
Courtyard residents provide discipleship and service to ministries and organizations in the Corvallis area. From touch football, indoor soccer, or softball, the Courtyard sports teams that involve residents and have fun. Going to college is not all about books; Courtyard residents have pray, worship, face struggles, challenges, and independence all together. Toward this end, the Courtyard aims at an atmosphere of Christian fellowship and spiritual growth so that the scholastic, intellectual, cultural, social, and athletic aspects of living may be pursued in ways honoring to the Lord.

Relevance
Relevance is a 501(c)(3) charitable ministry whose vision is to: “To produce, promote, distribute, and exhibit the Relevance of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, in all forms of art, music, and communication, to all peoples, through all methods.” 
Although not associated with any one denomination, its mission is to work in collaboration with all churches to reach people for Jesus Christ. The Courtyard is a means to achieve that vision in two specific ways. (A) through providing an environment for Christian students to sharpen their spiritual persons through discipleship and serving in the community and (B) by providing public teaching and activities that welcome the community in to see the relevance of Jesus Christ through courses like Alpha, Quest, and coffeehouse type programs.
