About
Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, GLC is dedicated to being a presence, “In Christ, In the City.”
We trust, we doubt. We struggle, challenge and seek. We affirm that black lives matter, that the earth and all creation must be treasured and protected, that science is a valid practice, that no human is illegal, and that immigration status is not a condition of belonging.
Worship
We gather around stories that invite us to explore how Jesus' voice still calls and sends even today.
We provide free parking in any unreserved space in the Apsira Public garage every Sunday until 1:30pm. (Enter from the alley between Stewart and Howell).
If you’d like to join us online, worship is streamed live here.
Service & Advocacy
The spiritual life is not an escape from the harsher aspects of community life.
Rather, it offers practices to strengthen our transformational engagement with structural evil such as racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism.
Tending Life
Justice. Peace. Humility. Courage. Kindness. Inclusion. These only scratch the surface of what many of us want to cultivate in ourselves and to share with others.
Instead of programming "religious education," Gethsemane's approach is more exploration— together wondering about who we are, what we value, and how we're called to tend life together.
