Ways to Connect
Pastoral Care
At Good Sam we strive with compassion and generosity to love our neighbor as ourselves. Please reach out and be nourished by the warmth of this community, and find opportunities to help others in turn.
Music Programs
Good Sam offers some of the finest liturgical music in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks to the value that our congregation places on the arts, we can produce our year-long Sundays@3 concert series, traditional arrangements with full choirs and organ, Gregorian chants in candlelight, handbell arrangements, and contemplative Taizé ensemble pieces.
Family & Youth
Children and families are the heart of a community. We welcome you and yours to every service and event at Good Sam.
Parish Life
Good Sam is a community of generous, imperfect, faithful, quirky people. We meet up and do things together. We mess up and try again. We see each other through each stage of the journey of life and faith, offering warmth, fellowship and acceptance despite our differences. You are welcome here.

Spiritual Nurture
We yearn to deepen our spiritual lives; our wisdom teachers call this the Holy Longing. The banquet of spiritual food is filled with choices. So much the better: different offerings satisfy our spiritual hunger at different points in our lives.
