Through WELS Mission Journeys, I’m planning to spend about a year in Seattle working with Ilume, the only WELS church in the city of Seattle. It is a very small church with about 10 members in a part of the country where 1/2 of the adults consider themselves to be non-religious, although many are “spiritual” (New-Age Movement.) You can read more about Illume’s mission and vision here: illume.church/mission-and-vision
Where I’ll be Working
Illume recently purchased and moved into a 100-year-old Methodist church near the University of Washington.
Illume’s mission is best supported by a building that is highly multi-functional for group and community use, creating ample opportunities for guests to interact with each other and with the unique hearts that Lutheran theology sculpts. The building was chosen for its potential toward that goal, and great progress has been made already. To follow the church’s progress, you can find it on Facebook at Illume Reno or on instagram @illume.reno
