NEW WORSHIPPING COMMUNITIES

Coordinator: Rev. John Park

The New Worshiping Communities of the Northwest Coast Presbytery is dedicated to serve and support the fresh and innovative new expressions of faith communities that will renew and revitalize God’s church and God’s worship. As the church becomes more responsive to the Great Commission of Christ, we seek to:

  1. Make NEW disciples of Jesus Christ in NEW innovative ways

  2. Bring creative and various models of WORSHIPING experience

  3. Encourage faith COMMUNITIES to shine the light of Jesus Christ to their surrounding neighborhoods

Renewal Ministries NW
Compline Worshiping Community

Compline Prayer
Thursdays at 8 pm (Pacific Time)

This quiet, contemplative time is an opportunity to end your day in peace and in the presence of the Holy Spirit through prayer and reflective instrumental music.

Through prayer and reflection, we will turn our focus back to God, our one true source of strength. This time for listening and stillness will calm and restore your soul, leaving you refreshed and encouraged.

Samish Island Fellowship

After moving to Samish Island, Rev. Janice Smith started a Bible study that is now the Samish Island Fellowship. The fellowship meets 2nd and 4th Thursdays at 7pm via Zoom.

To serve the community, this group invited people to bring protein items for the food pantry on the island.

Collide

Women colliding with Jesus to experience authenticity, wholeness, and purpose.

What began as one woman’s story of colliding with Jesus in the midst of her brokenness has grown into a movement of thousands of women who are daring to believe that God meets them in their pain and and uses it to meet others in theirs.
