Our Values
Lake Forest Park Presbyterian Church is a community that practices love through wholehearted faith, intentional belonging and compassionate service.
Wholehearted Faith
Love God and neighbor with everything you’ve got, trusting God to meet you through doubt, vulnerability and change.
Wholehearted faith is a kind of knowing that God is always with you:
it teaches us to live in a complex world.
It’s for doubters and dreamers and everyone in between.
We strive to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves.
Intentional Belonging
Create welcome space at the table for every person, created in God’s image, to flourish in the wholeness the spirit intends.
We all find belonging in the care and compassion of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.
In holy belonging we are safe to be completely who we are as humans created in the image of God.
We strive to embody this toward everyone, encouraging our brothers and sisters to live into GOd’s wholeness with their unique and precious gifts.
Compassionate Service
Follow Jesus’ posture of humble self-offering so all may experience the Kingdom of God.
Jesus came to serve and to give his life away.
As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
As followers of Jesus, we strive to adopt service as our primary posture.
