History of the church in Lacey

On our search, we landed at the House of Prayer Christian Church Lacy, WA. Lacy, Washington is a small city, a suburb of the state’s capital of Olympia and not far from the U.S. Army post of Fort Lewis, a great location for a church to sprout up and reach out to the multitudes that surround them. The church here was started in 2011 with nothing more than a vision, and a grand vision it was, to reach the lost in all the ways that they could. This vision and desire to have a church in Lacy drove them to search out a building to have their church services. They located an old aircraft hanger right outside of a small local airport which they had converted into what is now a valiant church laboring for the kingdom of Heaven. The members of this church are motivated and passionate about the work that they do; laboring in the prison ministry showing the love of God to those that need a second chance, having church service at local nursing homes to reach out to the elderly and often forgotten and, so much more.
