A Community of Tacoma

Creating Community

Friendships at Christ Church are built over meals, playing, working, living, and loving together. We gather over (good!) coffee and nibbles every Sunday after each morning service. We share soup and salad once a month at Evening Prayer at Table, and we work together to celebrate special occasions with feasts! 

We have teams and interest groups that gather folks together to be the arms and feet of Jesus in the world and to one another. Jumping in is a great way to meet people, discover your gifts and passions, and develop long-lasting and authentic friendships.

Coffee Hour Team

Meet folks and share treats!


  • Meets: Saturday before assigned Sunday worship service and clean up after service
