But the services seem full and the preaching is good. People seem friendly and there's a nice lady that looks like a nun (?) that was at the front doors saying hi to everyone.

I loVe this church! I been to a few churches in nearby cities & this one is by far my absolute…read morefavorite. They have childcare & youth services so the kids are learning at the appropriate speed & at their levels of understanding. The main church is never boring & the praise band is phenomenal with the selection of songs that really set the mood to receive God's word. Pastor Dave is amazing. He's a wonderful speaker & he's relatable so when he's giving the sermon of the day you understand & leave feeling like you gained some insight into Jesus' word. If I could give more stars I would. I definitely recommend visiting & experiencing for yourself.

Miguel the Worship Pastor plays great music and has an amazing team to put on a great performance each Sunday.

The Church does a good job of being mission oriented and there isn't the social clique or hierarchy that seems present at some churches. It really is just good people getting together to serve and love one another.

What a wonderful new church for the greater south sound…read more I love that they have such innovation for their children's department, and this shows their heart for the community around them. It's great that they were the first church to offer childcare when the first bout of covid hit. I will never forget this grace.

This is by far the most warm and welcoming church I have been to. Pastor Dean is such a…read moredown-to-earth spiritual leader who does an amazing job at relating the Bible to every day experiences. He is relatable and humble. I have never got the feeling that he looks down on anyone who steps into the church. I have been to other churches where that definitely is the vibe. All the leaders here seem extremely genuine (besides one but I keep my distance from them). The kids and youth ministry is awesome! My children all love going every single week and choose to participate in additional activities when possible. The worship team jives so well together and mix it up from week to week. Each of them enjoy what they're doing and you feel that when they sing and play. If you're searching for a church try this one out. And if it isn't for you, ask anyone who attends, I'm sure they'll offer you other suggestions in the area.

(This is actually "Lakewood New Hope Community Church")…read more This is a wonderful church that is apart of the Nazarene denomination. It has a traditional service at 8:00am, several Sunday schools at 9:30, a slightly more contemporary service at 10:30, a wonderful Childrens and Teen ministry, and is very active in doing things together in and out of the church throughout the week. This church is also very active in sending teams on trips outside of the US for ministry work and has a very active and positive presence in the Lakewood community. I would say this church is oddly blessed with a wide range of ages and life stages of people who attend, a wonderful team of leadership, and a prime example of being greater then the sum of its parts. In short... though no church will be perfect... I have never before experienced a church as healthy as this one.

I wanted to go in just to pay a visit but wanted to arrive at an appropriate time to check it out. My wait finally ended as this temple was having a yard sale. I took the opportunity immediately not only to go to the sale but to admire the area as well. I briefly took some pictures of some beautiful statuary and the buildings. The garage sale was very impressive! All kinds of different clothing and other household items to browse through. Such a great selection! I don't know if this garage sale is held every year here at this temple but if you ever do see one be sure and drop by!

I had a friend who was a Theravada monk and had been teaching over in Tacoma. In 1996 he said I ought to come over to Seu Mi Sa to take that five precepts with some of his students. I thought this was going to be a small private affair. I failed to realize it was the late April day when Buddhists celebrate the Birth, Enlightenment and Entrance to Nirvana by Buddha. There were hundreds of people there including the mayor of Tacoma and Mike Lowrey, the Governor of Washington. The temple has an interesting history. It is a Korean Zen temple. It was built by a donation from a wealthy Korean businesswoman. The Temple Building was originally in Korea. It is quite old and was dismantled and shipped to the US and reassembled. It is entirely made of wood and has no metal nails or bolts holding it together. The interior and exterior are very ornate and there are hundreds of small donated Buddha images inside. There is a meditation hall in the hill under the temple. The grounds around temple include the monks quarters and a large meeting hall for meals and other activities. After the ceremony I received a certificate in Korean and Chinese and I was given a Korean name. This was followed by a vegetarian meal in the assembly hall.
