This page is not monitored regularly by pastors. Please send prayer requests to [email protected] We are a progressive Christian community with a building on the corner of 45th and 15th in Seattle's University District, and a church family who is connecting, praying, worshiping, and doing justice from our homes during this pandemic time. Our Covenant:
God of Providence and Grace,
i
n a spirit of memory, thanksgiving and hope:
We covenant with You and with one another;
To seek and respond to Your word and will, made known and to be made known;
To worship You in unity and diversity, welcoming everyone;
To live responsibly within Your creation, sharing with gratitude the gifts we are given;
To care for and pray for each other, in trials of the spirit and in times of joy;
To encourage each other in the growth of our minds and spirits;
To promote Your reign of justice and peace, meeting hate with reconciling love; and
To reject the false gods of society, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus. Our Land Acknowledgement:
We gather as guests of the Duwamish people on their traditional land that touches the shared waters of other Coast Salish tribes. We understand that their identity and richness of culture are deeply connected with the mountains, valleys, waterways and shorelines that surround us all. We commit to learning about the Duwamish, other indigenous cultures, and historical and ongoing oppression of indigenous peoples. We strive to nurture our relationship with indigenous peoples, especially our neighbors, by joining their efforts to work for social justice and to care for this land. A land acknowledgement is a gesture of respect and awareness of the land and it’s history. It becomes meaningful when coupled with informed action that builds relationships. To start us on the path toward relationship, we will be reading the above acknowledgment of the land our church occupies during the worship service each Sunday, and suggesting personal actions that our community members can take to live into this commitment.
