Welcome Statement

At First Christian Church Puyallup, we know that being the church means choosing a life in a welcoming community where it can be messy and beautiful all at once, and committing ourselves to breaking down walls to create a space where all are loved. 

Because of God’s unconditional love, we welcome persons of all gender expressions and sexual identities.  We recognize the family you create, and celebrate the many human attributes that have historically divided us: race, ethnicity, nationality, age, economic status, marital status, education and physical or mental ability. 

Whether your belief is strong, wavering, or non-existent, we love and respect you for who you are. You are welcome at the Table of Christ and to the full life and leadership of the congregation. 

We affirm that all people are created in the image of God and as beloved children of God are embraced in God’s love. Because God welcomes, affirms and loves, we are called to welcome, affirm and love.
