Faith Formation
Spiritual Growth and Education
At Lake Washington Christian Church we believe that faith is a journey. Our spiritual lives are not a separate piece of ourselves but integral to our growth as vital people. We walk that journey as individuals and as a community. We provide opportunities for people of all ages to grow in faith, as they explore their faith, ask questions, engage in service, work for justice, worship and share in community.
Worship
Worship is the primary way in which people of all ages engage the questions of faith through singing, praying, engaging the Bible, practicing stewardship and other spiritual disciplines and the Lord’s Table. We worship every Sunday morning at 10 am in person or via Zoom.

Podcast
You now have the opportunity to listen to our sermons and communion meditations in podcast form on buzzsprout! Podcasts are posted weekly and include each Sunday’s welcome, scripture reading, sermon, communion meditation and some of James’ beautiful piano playing for contemplation.
Wild Church
Our souls are nourished by the wisdom of the more-than-human world, as it teaches us the rhythm and wildness of the Sacred. Wild Church is an interspiritual gathering, designed to nurture relationship and connectedness with the divine in nature. Wild church gathers in our wetland regularly for the solstices, equinoxes, and Celtic cross quarter days (half way between each solstice and equinox). We spend time sharing about our spiritual journey, engaging in earth-based spiritual practices, and a shared agape feast/tea ceremony.
Children
Children’s ministry is tailored to the needs of the children in our congregation. Children are encouraged to participate in worship in age appropriate ways.
Youth
Youth camps are offered every summer through the Northern Lights Region at our Regional camp on Lake Hicks in Lacey, WA. Scholarships are available.
Adult Faith Formation
Adult formation opportunities include our weekly online bible study (Wednesday in the Word), book discussions, and guided short-term studies on various topics.
We also engage in occasional inter-generational opportunities for mission and spiritual growth through service projects, outings in nature, and the development of spiritual practices.
