About
We are an intergenerational evangelical church located in the historic Stadium District of Tacoma, WA. Each week, we offer opportunities for worship (Sundays @ 10:30 am), Bible study, and fellowship. We also operate a Christian school as well as Camp McCullough, a Christian conference center and campground.
Worship is an integral part of our life at First Presbyterian Church of Tacoma. The Bible teaches us to worship God (1 Chronicles 16:23-31, Psalm 100, Ephesians 5:18-20), and worship is a way we can connect ourselves more deeply to God with our heart, mind, and soul. At the request of Pastor Eric, FPC’s Worship Committee recently came up with a list of 26 hymns and praise songs that are particularly meaningful to our life as a community. We created this list from around 100 recommendations sent in by members of the congregation.
These are not all of the songs we sing at FPC. But they are special songs that are important to our congregation. For example, “The Days of Elijah” became an important song during a time of repentance and revival in our congregation several years ago (our year of “jubilee”). “Amazing Grace” expresses our belief that we are saved by grace alone (not works); it has been used at the conclusion of our communion services (with people holding hands) since we initiated a blended worship service that combines traditional and contemporary music. “God of This City” speaks of our heart “ForTacoma” and our desire to see the good news of Jesus spread throughout our city. And “Crown Him with Many Crowns” is a song we often sing around Easter that emphasizes how Christ died for us and how He “triumphed o’er the grave” to give us eternal life.
