Our Vision We are a community transfixed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are captivated by the idea that his power and presence can be lived out in us. Seeking to love God and to love others, we will be grace

givers and truth tellers, seed planters and risk takers in Olympia and beyond, partnering with all who would advance the kingdom.

“Praise be to the

Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his

people and

redeemed them.” Luke 1:68

Welcome! Nursery is available for children up to

4 years old. Children’s Worship (4-8yrs) & Little

We invite you to stay after the service for coffee and

fellowship. Personal receivers for hearing assistance are

available at the sound booth.

It’s time to re-print our photo directory, which is for anyone who

feels that this is their church home. If you don’t have a mailbox, or were not

included in last year’s directory and would like to be, please talk to Kim

Stuard, Michelle McGriff (357-4439), or Pastor Mark. If you do have a

mailbox, look for a directory information sheet in your mailbox in

the coming weeks. Please review your information and return it to

Michelle McGriff’s mailbox by January 18th & get a new picture

taken! Pictures will be taken January 25th (A-F)
