What to Expect

What are services like?
Our services are a traditional communion service. They are similar to what you might experience at an Episcopal, Lutheran, or Methodist church. The format is also similar to the Roman Catholic mass. We follow the three year Revised Common Lectionary of scripture readings. We set aside service time to give thanks for specific blessings in the preceding week and for members to pray aloud for specific needs.

What is the community like?
We are a small close knit community that cares about and prays for each other and for our wider community. We set aside 10 percent of our weekly offering for community outreach. Recently supported services are Five Talents, the Lighthouse Mission, Agape Home, Whatcom County Pregnancy Clinic, Engedi Refugee Ministries, and the Samish Way Resource Center. We have been a silver sponsor of the American Cancer Society Whatcom Relay for Life since 2009.

What if I'm not a Christian?
All the better! Seekers, skeptics, and questions are welcome. We would love to have you come and learn about the good news of Jesus Christ. If you identify yourself as a newcomer, a member will sit with you and guide you through the service. Just tell anyone with a name tag. You are welcome to join us at coffee hour for some snacks and conversation. We will try to answer any questions you may have or you can just hang out with our members. No one leaves hungry.
