East Woods Presbyterian Church

WELCOME, FRIEND!

Welcome to East Woods Presbyterian Church! We hope our website is a helpful way for you to begin to discover who we are and, much more important, who God is and what God is up to here.

The Church, including the East Woods congregation, is people. Not a building, or an event. Not a denomination, or anything else, but people - imperfect, broken, called, forgiven, redeemed, empowered, sent... centered in the One who has saved us, and is continually saving us. You, like all people, are made in the image of God, and nothing can separate you from the love of God that is revealed in Jesus Christ.

East Woods is a welcoming place not because we’re super nice (although many are), but because we, too, have been welcomed by God. It’s our pleasure and our honor to welcome you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Considering a visit?

It’s our pleasure and privilege to warmly welcome you into our community as an honored guest. Our desire is for you to connect with others and to encounter the living God through engaging Christian formation opportunities for all ages, thoughtful prayer, creative worship, and inspired teaching. We encourage you to join us either in-person at the church, or online via Zoom ID 893 1993 3204.
When and where are your services?

We meet every Sunday for Worship at 10:00 a.m. Our worship services usually last about 75 minutes.

We meet at 16210 NE 20th Street in Vancouver, WA, near the corner of 162nd Ave and 20th Street. There is a Starbucks and Wendy's at the first major cross street.
What Should I wear?

You may wear whatever you like. You will see a few coats and ties but most people prefer to dress more casually, wearing anything from shorts to khakis, from jeans to skirts. We believe God is much more concerned with our hearts than our outward appearance (Matt. 23:27-28).
What about my children?

We invite all children to participate in our worship. We offer Kids' Bulletins both online and on-site. We also have activity clipboards available in the Quiet Room adjacent to the Sanctuary to use during the service. Please feel comfortable doing what best meets the needs of your family. During the pandemic, the Nursery is available for families, but is not staffed. We have several areas for families if children need to step outside of the sanctuary to get their wiggles out or have some quiet time, including the Quiet Room and Kitchenside Room.
What is the worship service like?

Our service is neither “contemporary” nor “traditional” because God, not style, is our object of worship. Our worship seeks to be vibrantly aware and responsive to God’s presence. We sing old and new, but in an approachable way. We draw on current expressions of faith, as well as ancient prayers and creeds. No matter your age or background, our worship aims to bring us together as we give praise to our Lord.
