Searching for a great ELCA church in the Seattle area? I like to recommend Faith Lutheran Church off of Lake town Way and 82nd. I've been an affiliate there my entire life and my grandparents helped found the church, so I am admittedly a little biased, but we have great coffee, potlucks and lots of fun Martin Luther paraphernalia on show - so you know we are serious!
In actual fact we're a particularly fun-loving and laid back congregation. Lots of our members joined because of the strength of our sunday faculty program which is extraordinarily dynamic and occurs at 9:15. Young children are welcome in sunday services and we also have a kid care program available during the time that church runs. There's also a'cry room' in the back of the church so if you are sitting with your young kid in church and he requires a break you can go into the cry room and still watch the service thru the window and hear it over the loudspeakers.
Our Youth priest would probably also would like me to note that we have a great confirmation program for middle school students and an excellent youth group for high schoolers. There are even boozer theology nights for teens ( school age and up ).
We have two services each Sun. at 800 and 10:30. Sun. faculty for kids and adults is in between. We also have a fabulous choir, an orchestra made up of volunteers from the congregation, and a handbell choir. Our music director, Nan Beth Walton is presented and dedicated. She arranges many of the pieces we enjoy in the service.
If you're a life-long Lutheran, an ELCA transplant from another area, or simply looking out for a family-friendly Lutheran church in North Seattle, we invite you to come and visit us. Our guests are always welcomed warmly by whomever they happen to be sitting next to in church, and the coffee hour after each service sometimes bosts tasty treats ( brownies and fruit ) as well as a chance to meet more people and discover what the congregation is like.
We are hoping you may join us at religion Lutheran in Seattle for a Sunday or a lifetime!
