What are worship services like?

Worship is something we can do individually, but God places special importance on believers worshiping together. To encourage unity in worship, our services are "blended." This means that services include both contemporary music and traditional songs.

Our congregation spans a range of ages, backgrounds, and musical tastes. Some are in jeans, others in suits. Some grew up in Pierce County; some came from other places. All are committed to joyfully worshiping Jesus together.

What should I wear?

The Bible says that looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. When you come to Hope you will find some people in slacks and others in jeans. Some women wear dresses, others wear pants. Some guys wear ties, a lot don't. There is a variety. Come in what makes you feel comfortable and you'll probably find someone dressed like you.

Can I meet the Pastor?

Pastor Brian Olsen grew up in the Puget Sound area and worked as a teacher and coach before going to seminary to train for pastoral ministry. After serving churches in Bellingham and in Southern California, he started serving as the pastor of Hope in 2003. He and his wife, Lise, live in Tacoma with their four children, Grace, Joy, Faith, and Christopher.

Pastor Brian would welcome the opportunity to sit and chat with you about life or church or whatever is on your heart. You can talk with him any Sunday after the worship service or you can call him at 253-475-4676.
