Community Kitchen

It takes place at the Salvation Army's facility on the corner of 5th Ave and Plum St. We always need a new crew for food preparation (2:00pm) and another crew for serving (4:30pm).​​

Death Café 

Second Tuesday of the month from 6:30pm-8:00pm in the social hall. A space where we gather to be open to the mystery of death. No specific agenda, and not a grief support group, just the free flow of discussion around common curiosities, experiences and philosophies on death and dying. 

Small Groups

If you are interested in a small group that meets intentionally and regularly to build community and support each other, we have several closed groups that meet across the Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater areas.  Generally these groups meet once or twice a month. For more information contact the church office.
