FOR TACOMA

ADOPTING, SERVING, AND LOVING THE PEOPLE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

If you were assigned to go on a Mission to a foreign country, you would most likely put a great deal of effort into praying for the country. Spending time to learn about the people, customs, and culture of the country you were going to be serving in. Have you ever thought of your neighborhood in this way?

In June 2017, First Presbyterian Church launched their #FORtacoma campaign. As a church we committed ourselves to the people and places within the local Stadium District. We have made it our assignment to adopt, serve, and love the people of our neighborhood.
We want our neighbors to thrive, and experience God’s love in their day to day lives. We believe that we have been placed in this neighborhood for a reason. Since God is for us, we are FOR Tacoma.

FOR TACOMA

WE ARE EXCITED TO LAUNCH FOUR NEW TEAMS WITH THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING OUR CHURCH NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE FOR TACOMA!  WHICH TEAM WILL YOU JOIN?
JOIN THE BRIGADE!
You don’t have to be a gardener, just willing to pitch in and get dirty! Sign up to help with watering/maintenance throughout the summer. Supervised kids are welcome to join in too!
JOIN THE CREW!
Moving can be stressful.  In this time of transition, we want to be some of the first people to welcome new neighbors to the community by offering to help with their move-in process. We’ll start with one apartment complex and see how it goes. Looking for people with strong arms and backs and friendly faces. Devon Duval is the heading up this crew.
JOIN THE TEAM!
In 2022, Merrill Gardens at Wright Park, the senior living complex under construction next to us, will be opening its doors to up to 159 senior residents. When these new neighbors move in, we’d love to be prepared with a variety of ways to connect with them and welcome them to the community. If you have a heart for  seniors and would like to help craft the vision for that outreach, please consider joining this team.
JOIN THE SQUAD!
We believe a great way to show hospitality to some of our neighbors is through their pets. One of the only times we see our neighbors is when they take their pets outside.  So why not meet a need and provide a setting for establishing relational connections? We don’t have all the details nailed down yet, but we are looking for people who love animals, but anyone who loves our neighbors is welcome to join this team!
