Faith in Action

Living our Values

At Lake Washington Christian Church, we are committed to social justice and acts of charity as an essential part of our faith. We actively partner with local and global organizations to embody our commitment to be a ‘movement for wholeness’. We participate in both local ecumenical community organizations and worldwide missions.

Children’s Garden

The Children’s Garden is a part of our children’s formation program as well as a mission project, growing organic produce which is given to a local food shelf to address food insecurity.

Anti-racism Study and Action Group

This group meets monthly to engage in learning and action related to becoming an anti-racist, pro-reconciling congregation. We discuss topics such as: white privilege, decolonization of the church, and racial equity. We look for opportunities in the larger community to learn and advocate for justice.

Little Free Pantry

In response to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity, we built a little free pantry on our property. Our little free pantry is fully supported through donations. To learn more about little free pantries, visit littlefreepantry.org
