Letter from our Pastor:
We welcome you here!
We are grateful that you have taken the time to consider us as your primary place for spiritual nourishment. We believe that bringing glory to God is at the heart of all we do and are. We seek to accomplish this when we gather as a new community, growing deeper into Jesus, giving ourselves away to one another and going into the world with the transformational message of the love of God in Christ Jesus!
To discover who we are today begins with a commitment to the Word of God. It is this commitment that unites us as God’s peculiar and grace-filled people. We belong to Christ and to each other in order that we can represent Christ as a new community in and to the world.
We’re delighted to have you here and are filled with great anticipation as to how Jesus will grow you. Whether you are curious and questioning or a lifelong follower, there is a place for you at Lake Burien Presbyterian Church. This is a place for families, singles, young adults, those in the prime of life and those in their golden years. Come and worship, stay to learn, become part of a new community to engage the world with and through an intentional faith!
We will not ask you for anything other than to come and sample our vibrant worship, great teaching, Bible studies, small groups, spiritual formation, children’s classes, mission mobilization groups and more.
Together in Christ,
Dr. Tobin Wilson
