Our family has been so deeply blessed since finding this congregation. From the moment we arrived,…read morewe were warmly welcomed by everyone, and the pastor and his wife are truly some of the most genuine, lovely people you could meet. Their love for Yeshua the Messiah and the people of the congregation shines through. The teaching has been such a gift--rooted in Scripture and rich with understanding from the Tanakh that brings even greater depth to the New Covenant writings. It's refreshing and exciting to see how beautifully God's Word fits together from beginning to end. We look forward every week to Shabbat worship, fellowship, and study. It's such a joy to be part of a community that loves Yeshua, honors the Word, and seeks to walk in His truth. We are so thankful the Lord led us here! Note: this congregation now meets at Grace Community Covenant Church, 5501 Wiggins Rd SE Olympia, WA 98501. Shabbat Worship at 11:00. See details at https://cloj.org/

Writing a review of a church seems weird, so I will keep this as unbiased as possible, and limited…read moreto the facts that might draw interest from those looking for a local congregation. If you want to know if a church is growing, take a look at 2 things: the health of the Sunday school classes, and the number of new members. LPC has both of those things growing wildly, adding new Sunday school classes all of the time to keep up with the number of people attending, and each new member's class has been bigger than the one before it. There are many times we have neglected to get to church early, arriving just before 10, and we find there is nowhere to park so we have to go across the street to the fairgrounds. This also means the sanctuary will be packed, but someone is always there to greet us and make sure we find a seat. We are glad that this happens because it tells us that the church is doing well and that we will be surrounded by others who want to be there and worship. I will let you decide if this is the right place for you to worship, and if the philosophy and theology of the church matches your own, but all I can say is that this place is growing, active, and alive, so we are glad to be a part of it.

However, after doing some research and finding many others have concerns with Kadampa Buddism in general, I thought it worth sharing that I had an absolutely horrible experience with Tushita. I was looking for a regular meditation practice and to learn more about Buddhism. I found Tushita first and gave it a try one Thursday eve. During the session I attended, the first in a series ostensibly on using Buddhism to Calm Your Mind, the person leading the session and meditation seemed ill-suited to the task and undeserving of the four of us in attendance being instructed to stand for his entrance. Buddhism Speaking in what came off as a performative hushed, slow cadence, he proceeed to sprinkle humble brags "my first trip to Rome," "when I was on the beach in Mexico," gratuitious mentions of past girlfriends, and frankly, lame insults "or you could carry an umbrella and look like tourist." He consistently floated gross generalizations with no nuance: "we're all seeking happiness and joy" (I seek contentment), "things can't bring you happiness" (tell that to the poverty-stricken or unhoused -- or the giant gold [colored] Buddha behind you.) He seemed to also fancy himself a stand-up comedian, peppering his droning, rambling with what he clearly thought were humorous asides as he would invariably giggle at his own delivery throughout. Oh, and the volunteer taking the money and running the A/V encouraged us all to attend the upcoming $200 weekend beach retreat describing it only as "a lot of fun." No other details or information. It took all of my prior training to ease my mind and not walk out before he was even a third of the way through. , If you're genuinely seeking contentment, peace, and calm, I suggest you look elsewhere.
