I first came to FAL in 1986. My church in E. WA
prayed me to this church. I didn’t have a car,
but found an apartment very close to the church,
which was an answer to their prayer and mine.
My first impression of FAL was that it was
friendly. I really liked Pastor Dan’s preaching
and Dave Stocker’s worship leading. Music was
and still is an important part of worship for
me, so it felt very authentic and touched my
heart. Pastor Dan’s preaching was simple and
to-the-point, which I really needed as a new
Christian.
Convenience, friendliness, great kids’ programs
and much-needed fellowship all added to my
decision to stay at FAL. Sue Secrist made me
feel loved and accepted. I also had the great
privilege of being discipled by Sue and that
helped me grow in the Lord.
I’ve been attending FAL 21 years now, give or
take a couple. I stay because this is my church
home and family. The people are so important to
me.
I’ve had many opportunities to serve at FAL.
It’s kind of a joke that I’ve done everything
except preach on Sundays here. Right now I lead
a ladies' Bible study and work at FAL as an
Administrative Assistant.
If I was going to invite a friend to FAL, this
is what I would say, “If you’re looking for a
church family, this is a good church. If you
want great music and good preaching, this is a
good church. If you want to hang out with real
people, this is a good church. If you want
perfection – keep looking.”
At Faith Assembly of Lacey, we celebrate the
work that God is doing in the lives of the
people of our church.
That’s why we’d love to hear
your
story! Don’t feel like you have to follow a set
format or be an accomplished writer to tell your
story. Instead, just let us know how God is
working in your life, helping you grow closer to
Him — no matter where you are on your spiritual
journey.
