The Gospel calls us to reach beyond ourselves and our needs and into the world. Building on our roots as a neighborhood church, we extend our mission support to many local community-based organizations as well as international ministries.
The Welcome Table
Peace members collaborate with other congregations of the Westside Interfaith Network (WIN) to host the Welcome Table each week on Saturdays, noon–1 pm, at the Body of Christ Church in White Center.
Volunteers serve a hot meal to all who come. Guests are also invited to take home food, hygiene items, clothing, and other necessities. You’ll hear many languages and see warm, good-hearted connections among neighbors of all backgrounds.
Food Bank Ministry
Peace Lutheran supports multiple organizations with food donations, volunteers, and special fundraising activities. Items for food banks may be placed in the designated drawer in the Narthex any time. Donations are delivered to the West Seattle Food Bank and White Center Food Bank on a rotating basis.
We also maintain a Little Free Pantry on the Thistle side of the church, available to anyone in the neighborhood who needs it.
Pass the Hat
One Sunday each month, a local church or community-based ministry visits Peace to share an update on their work. After hearing their story, we “pass the hat” to receive a special offering in support of that organization’s mission.
Donations can be made via Tithe.ly, by check to Peace Lutheran Church (noting the partner group in the memo line), or directly to the partner organization.

You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
— Matthew 5:14–16
