First Presbyterian Tacoma, Wash.
A Program Geared To The Times, Based On Word of God
R ising high on the Tacoma, Wash, skyline is the imposing tower of the First Presbyterian Church. This beautiful building is appraised at over one million dollars and is considered one of the best equipped on the west coast. Each year there is an increased missionary interest on the part of these people of the northwest and the annual missionary conference is one of the highlights of the church calendar. At present they support either entirely or in part 17 mission ary workers serving on at least 12 fields. A vision for the church of tomor row is expressed in the Sunday school which is growing and has doubled its attendance in the past two years. It now has a membership of 700. This emphasis on youth is carried on with two children’s church meetings each Sunday (primary and junior) and afternoon Christian Endeavor meet ings. There are at least three annual youth conferences and a two-week Daily Vacation Bible School. Seven times each week there is a radio broadcast direct from the church over station KTAC. There is a fine music department under the direction of K. Mulder Schuil. They now have a weekly telecast and are the first church in the northwest to engage in this type of ministry. The pastor, Dr. Albert J. Lindsey, came to this church in 1949. He is president of the northwest organiza tion of the National Association of Evangelicals and author of the books, Wilderness Experience and Lifted to Heaven. Assisting in this church program which is geared to the times and based on the Word of God are min isters Carl E. Wichem and Robert C. Duhs. The church now has 1600 members. THE KING'S BUSINESS
