ORIGINS
Born during the ’Jesus’ movement of the seventies, a small congregation was established in 1977 as Gospel Outreach of Olympia, whose primary outreach at that time was to young men and women who were desperately seeking an anchor in the wave of disillusionment which was sweeping our nation. Since then, the church has grown to a larger congregation, encompassing four generations of believers. Over the years, we have joined with and drawn from contemporary theologians in proclaiming the gospel in the Reformational tradition, “namely, the gospel of the forgiveness of sins.“
OUR CHURCH
As a Biblically-based congregation, Gospel Outreach adheres to the central doctrine that salvation is by
grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ and His saving work on the cross. We embrace the historical
sacraments of the Christian Church - baptism, communion, and the preaching of God’s Word - as foundational
elements of our congregation. Church is not something we do only on Sundays, but rather a daily return to our
baptism and the forgiveness of sins as we serve our neighbors in our particular vocations out of gratitude to
God for His “fatherly, divine goodness and mercy“ towards us and to all people.
