The Short History of the Slavic Pentecostal Church “Sulamita”
Slavic Pentecostal Church “Sulamita” was born in April of 1996, when a group of 35 people decided to come together to worship and serve God. In 1998, church “Sulamita” registered in the State of Washington. The place of worship was a rented church building in the city of Lynnwood. The church membership numbers grew steadily, and by 2004, when the church outgrew the maximum occupancy at the rented church building, a decision was made to purchase our own property for a new place of worship.
Thanks to the diligence of the church members and a financial loan, the church purchased a warehouse building in the city of Mukilteo. After less than two years since acquiring necessary paperwork and completing renovations, the building was complete. On December 17, 2006, the church began its new mile-stone in the new building in which we currently gather for Worship.
At this time, our church continues to grow, worshiping our Lord, serving people and sharing the Good News together.
Every year we offer Water Baptism to anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and is ready to publicly confess their faith in Jesus Christ.
By the Grace of God, we are able to offer many opportunities to worship the Lord through ministry and serve one another with God-given gifts and talents. The church has various departments aimed at serving people of all ages, as well as ministries in Missions Outreach, media, music, choir, camps/retreats, and several administrative functions. We offer Sunday School classes for children ages 4-12, a Nursery for younger children, Bible classes for teenagers, native language lessons, youth services and prayer services weekly. As we continue to glorify God, the number of ministries for everyone who wants to serve continues to grow.
All these years we have seen the Hand of the Almighty, which guides and helps us. To Him we give all the glory, for His is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Hallelujah.
