Lacey Community Church
brings together the traditions of two denominations,

Church of the Brethren
Historically, Brethren have made a strong witness to the 
Gospel of Jesus Christ to free humankind from the bondage
of violence, hate, and revenge, that all may live in God's 
peace.

Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
The Disciples were born out of a passion to fulfill Christ's prayer 
for his followers, that they all might be one.  Historically, Disciples 
have given strong  leadership to the process of Church unity.

Lacey Community Church

We embrace both of these rich traditions and draw
 faith and strength from the power of their 
combined witness.

. . . Continuing the Work of Jesus. . .

Though the Church of the Brethren, as a group, have existed three hundred
years, and the Disciples of Christ for two hundred years, neither subscribe to a
formal creed. As members of Lacey Community Church we confess that Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of the living God and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world.

Beyond that we simply try to do what Jesus did.

Jesus brought a message of life, love and hope. But He offered much more than
inspiring words: he understood that people's spiritual needs also include day-to-day
human ones - food, health, rest, comfort, friendship and unconditional acceptance.
"I am the way," He told his followers. He showed them how to trust, how to care
and how to help.  Steadily, lovingly, even radically, Jesus went about saving the world
by serving its people. Because we at Lacey Community Church believe His message,
we seek to do the same.  He saved us by His Grace, we serve his people not for
salvation but because we love Him and want to do his will and follow his example. 

I tell you this: anything you did for one of my brothers here,
however humble, you did for me.

  
 There is a story of a man who was walking down the street. He paused at a used book store, and in the
window he saw a book with the title, How to Hug. He was taken by the title and, being somewhat of a 
romantic nature, went in to buy the book. To his chagrin, he discovered it was the seventh volume of an 
encyclopedia and covered the subjects "How" to "Hug".

Everyone knows that the church is a place where love ought to be manifested, and many people have
come to church hoping to find a demonstration of love - only to discover an encyclopedia on theology.

Our Mission Statement

         Lacey Community Church celebrates God's love as revealed in Jesus.
         We strive to nurture faith, embrace diversity,  
and serve our neighbors, seeking dignity for all of God's creation.
