W e are an open and affirming inter-spiritual community in the Christian tradition and welcome all who wish to join us in worship and participation in church life. We invite you to become full members and leaders of the Suquamish United Church of Christ community. We are open and affirming to members of groups that continue to suffer injustice for reasons including sexual orientation, race, gender, gender identity and expression, ethnic background, age, marital status, physical ability, and developmental differences.
We support marriage equality, and we are pleased to perform same gender marriages in our church.
What We Believe
We believe in God; that which can be sensed but never grasped by the mind. We engage this Sacred Mystery both as the essential nature of our being and in relationship. We believe that God has been revealing and will continue to reveal the power of life in creation, healing, and relationships of love throughout history.
We believe the Divine lives us, breathes us, thinks us, is us. We understand “sin” to be ignorance of our essential divine nature. We believe that Jesus (Yeshua) realized his true nature as the Christ, Child of God. As we move toward recognition of our true nature, we move toward the Christ in ourselves.
We turn to the sacred texts of faith traditions, including the Bible, allowing scripture to meet us and inspire us as it resonates with and challenges our own spirituality.
We believe in compassionate service to our community and the world and in deepening our inner connection with the Divine as our guide for action.
We respect the power of the Holy Spirit, which works in each person differently. We believe there are many ways to understand, live, and worship within the Christian tradition. We are nurturing a church community that welcomes individuals at any stage of their faith journey.
Worship Service
Sunday: 10:00 am
Worship services are now being held as “hybrid” services — in-person and online. We have adopted a policy allowing each individual to choose whether they wear a mask in the building. We ask that you be considerate of others by social distancing.
Child care Children are always welcome! Worship services include a time for the “Young At Heart.” Child care is available for the youngest, with appropriate faith-formation activities for older children.
Here are steps we’ve taken to improve indoor air quality to help keep you safe in our building.
Services are also offered virtually using Zoom. You can join in the service by clicking on this Zoom link.
You can also attend on Facebook, or by phone by dialing (253) 215-8782 and entering the meeting ID: 871 188 9085.
Check out recordings of past sermons and worship services on our Sermons page.
We ask for your grace as we move together through this uncharted territory where anxiety lurks, but where hope most assuredly lives.
All are welcome anytime, no matter who we are, what we offer, or where we gather.

Mission
God Is Still Speaking
We are an evolving spiritual community in the Christian tradition.
We’re about justice, understanding and exploration — a progressive church committed to theological exploration and service to others. If you understand that faith is a matter of mind as well as heart, then we invite you to explore the many ways that God is still speaking today.
Are you looking for meaning?
God’s love embraces all people equally, so no matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you’ll find a spiritual home here.
