    Our church building is closed; the Church (the people) remain open!

    When will we re-open?

    Though Pierce county has now entered Phase 2, the Mission Woods Presbyterian Church building is not open at this time. No groups are able to meet in the building for now. We all want to get back together as soon as possible. At the same time we as a faith community are called to care for one another and that may include remaining apart to protect the most vulnerable among us.


    Our church leadership is preparing for when we will be able to reopen the building for worship and group meetings again. We will open the building following the CDC and the Governor’s office's guidelines and can keep everyone safe.


    Our elders with the guidance from health professionals has considered the list of guidelines from the Washington State CDC as well as the Pierce County Health department and made the decision we will reconsider a reopening date once Pierce County has entered phase 3. We thank you for your patience.

      In our journey through James we are going to see comparisons between our actions and our faith. Last week I introduced you to the “Faith gauge”, James is asking us to aim for a strong faith. In so doing the question arises, “What is the evidence of a strong faith?” I want you to keep that question in…

        Our Sermon series is going to take us through the book of James - here's some information for you: Book: James Theme: Faith Gauge Information: Here's our "J" again! And what's he up to now? Looks like we've got a "J Aiming!" And when "J Aims" (James) what does he aim for? The Faith Gauge, of course! He's aiming to make his faith a strong faith, as this letter of James counsels believers to do. This letter to Hebrew Christian believers is on of the earliest penned in the young church. This fact, coupled with the author's close relationship to Christ Himself (probably His half-brother), makes it not surprising that it focuses on doing the faith. This is no letter of theory. Rather, it's a "faith-gauge." It says that if faith is not evidenced by good works, it is a dead faith. This sounds like Christ speaking to the Pharisees, doesn't it? A living faith is one which is not defeated by trials, is no respecter of persons, is a mirror of God's Word, is a controller of the tongue, and displays heavenly wisdom. And above all, it waits patiently, but actively, for the return of the Lord. From Walk Thru the Bible Keyword Learning System.

            OPENING PRAYER: Turning Point? We are living in what could very well be a great turning point in history. People of all faiths and no faith are reflecting on who they are, where they’ve been, what they’ve done, what they should’ve done, and how to move forward. People are genuinely looking for answers…

                  The verse all of us knows is John 3:16 which reads. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God - the creator of all things. So loved - had such a great affection for the world - all of the world, the land, the…
