Puget Sound Foursquare

A blessed experience pastor lance is a compassionate and understanding man of God

As someone who grew up going to a Christian school and have worked for a Christian non-profit, I have seen countless pastors preach from churches all over Pierce county and surrounding counties. Lance (lead pastor) is one of the most gifted, level headed pastors I have ever had the privilege of knowing. His assisting pastors and support staff are just as wonderful.

I have questioned and explored other religions. I have a long history of trauma (childhood, adulthood, and family). I tend to struggle with skepticism, hardness, shame, etc. I came to this church and I was accepted just as that. This is a place where you TRULY come as you are and feel like you belong. Whether you are questioning, exploring, a new Christian, or a lifelong follower, this church could be a good fit for you.

Some other "selling points" for me and my husband
-Sermons circle around the love, mercy, and accountability of God. They feel balanced. They also address tough topics like trauma and hurt. They also discussed the shortcomings of the modern church (including their own). This list is of course not exhaustive.
-They support women being in church leadership
-They have celebrate recovery (a program for those recovering from adversity such as trauma, hurt, grief, addiction, etc.)
-They have a Mom & Littles group
-They have an in-house therapy program
-They ACTUALLY help their community.
-They support their members and staff to start church plants.
-They aspire to have a diverse church. It is still white dominated as most Foursquare churches are, but has grown in diversity since I've been attending.

This is my home, I love the pastors and their messages and wisdom. Very friendly and loving atmosphere. Amazing childcare while you go to service and they get to learn about Jesus as well.

Great word and worship

Awesome church to call home!
