Our in-person worship service starts at 10 am and includes hymns, prayers, scripture reading and a sermon. It usually lasts about an hour and fifteen minute.. During the 10 am service we also offer live-streaming to a nearby room that offers those with compromised immune systems to be more isolated. We also offer a separate space for children, with supervised play and crafts during the 10 am service. Sections of the 10 am service are programed into the 5 pm digital service, which is offered as a "vespers."
We are an inter-generational church and strive to be family-friendly, with an active ministry for children and youth. All ages are welcome in worship. We also offer nursery and child-care, Younger children begin the 10 am service with us and usually leave after about 15 minutes. Older children have the option of leaving for a special sermon time. Junior high and high school youth meet at 9 am and then often sit together in worship. Give us a call at 206-524-2322 for more specifics or email

In May 2022, the Church Council formed the Asset Enhancement Task Force (AETF) to examine UCUCC asset usage and expansion to meet both short-term and long-term challenges facing our church. Underlying big questions like “what is our money for?” is the core conviction that everything we have, and everything we do, should be for the glorification of God and the work of God in the world through this church. The process of inventorying our assets is a matter of leveraging all of the gifts at our disposal to do God’s work in this time and place, and into the future, to the best of our ability. We recognize that assets are not just monetary, but encompass all our resources, including our people/membership assets, financial assets, building/property assets, relationships assets, and reputational assets. These five asset categories are in relationship to each other; they all work together, depend on each other, and are deeply connected. As Mark’s gospel directs us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we seek to bring our whole selves and a wholistic understanding of our church and its resources to this strategic exploration of assets usage and expansion.
You can read the full report here. Some printed copies will be available in the church office. Members of the AETF will be in the narthex after worship the next few Sundays, and will also present some options for our financial resources at the UCUCC Annual Meeting on May 21st 2023. A two-page summary is available here.
We hope this inventory report helps articulate the many strengths and resources to be used for this holy work; and that it helps direct our efforts to ways we can strengthen and stabilize our congregation for future generations.
Task Force Members: Ed Coleman, Tim Croll, Don Guthrie, Carol Ingram, Joyce Jackson, Carol Nelson, Cristin Miller, Rev. Amy Roon, Kyna Shilling, Kathy Williams
