  • One of the best things about our church is how we all work together to change lives and change the world. Did you know that well over 100 volunteers lead our church?

    There is a committee in our church whose job it is to invite people to lead and to serve. This group is called the Leadership Development Team. Its aim? Involve as many people as possible in the decision making and hands-on leadership of our church. Your church needs you! Right now, the Leadership Development Team is recruiting new leaders who will begin serving on July 1st. Here are some of the exciting areas you can serve…

    Administrative Council – the vision and policy setting leadership team comprised of the chair people from every ministry area of our congregation.

    Altar Guild – prepares the worship space for weekly and special worship experiences.

    Audio-Visual Team – manages all the visual and sound needs for worship services.

    Computer Committee –technology team maintaining our congregation’s digital infrastructure.

    Congregational Care – supports our congregation in times of need through meals, rides, prayer, visitation, and tangible love.

    Creation Care Team – leads our congregation in becoming more earth friendly at church and at home as well as advocates for system change to save the earth.

    Family Council – Coordinates the family ministries and connects families for fun and spiritual growth.

    Finance – responsible for the funding of the mission and ministry of our church, includes counting teams, accounting, and payroll.

    Hospitality Team – responsible for the welcome and connection with all who come to our church.

With winter coming, here are a few things to know...

Worship—If worship is canceled due to a power outage or weather event, we will do our best to communicate that by sending an email and posting it on our website.
Power Outages—to find out if the church might be closed due to a power outage, use the PSE Power Outage Map at
pse.com/en/outage/outage-map.
Weather-related Closures—the church office follows the Kent School District guidelines for weather-related closures
(kent.k12.wa.us/page/school-closures-delays).
 We love having you with us in worship, but your well-being is our priority. Please do whatever you need to do to stay safe.
