Join us!
Whether you are a life-long follower of Jesus or just beginning to investigate spiritual truths, a great church can make all the difference. Wherever you are at on your spiritual journey, we believe you will find a welcome, caring place at Lake Union.
We don't have all the answers and you may not even know what questions you have; but what a great adventure it is when we try to put the two of them together. At Lake Union no one is an outsider; you are just someone we haven't met yet.
Come join us Sundays and see if there is a connection to be made.

Due to strong feelings and divergent views on the mask mandate, the Leadership Team took action to modify our requirements for in-house church services.
9 AM service: Masks are mandated (note exemptions below) for the full service including during singing. (You may want to leave your coffee or other beverage in your car.)
10:30 service: Masks are required (note exemptions below) upon entering and exiting the building and the wearing of a mask during the service is recommended.
If you do not wear a mask continually at the 9 AM service, it will be recommended that you consider attending the 10:30 service. Also, any visiting done in the fellowship hall or outside should include social distancing. Our concern is to keep everyone as safe as possible but also as comfortable as possible as we worship together.
