What visitors say
We are so thankful to have found this church! It has been our home for over ten years and continues to be such a special place for our family. Pastor George delivers inspiring sermons that have helped us grow both individually and together, and the worship band is absolutely fantastic and one of a kind. What truly sets this church apart, though, is the loving community. The people here are authentic, welcoming, and deeply supportive. You really have to experience it to understand just how special it is! If you’re looking for a family-friendly church in downtown Tacoma, this is a wonderful place to check out! My family and I have been part of Garden City Church for over 10 years, and we have nothing but good things to say about our experience. This Church has been an incredible source of Community for us here in Tacoma. The teaching is thoughtful, grounded, and does a great job of avoiding polarization, especially in such a politically and socially charged climate. One thing I especially appreciate is the recognition that many of the issues we face in society are complex and multifaceted. Garden City Church creates space to thoughtfully wrestle with those tensions while staying centered on the teachings of Jesus. Another one of our favorite parts of this Church is the creativity of the music. It feels fresh, authentic, and unlike anything you would typically hear at most churches. The worship experience is unique and meaningful, and it reflects the creative spirit of this community. We’re incredibly grateful to be part of Garden City Church and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming Church and genuine Community in Tacoma. Greed greed greed. A church that does absolutely nothing for the community that they planted themselves in. They dumped a couch from their parking lot onto an apartment lawn rather than calling 311 to have it removed from their property, or to simply throw it in the dumpster behind their church. Please, go back to wherever you all are from and leave our community alone. You guys make parking on sundays a nightmare for everyone who lives in the area. You close off your perfectly useable parking lot to use it one day a week, a parking lot that has been open for decades for free use that a small amount of cars park in. I have observed and no one camps out in their car in your parking lot. There is no reason to close it 7 days a week. Quit being greedy and please relocate to wherever your guests live. None of the surrounding neighbors want to attend your church or like your church presence. My husband and I started attending here when I was going through one of the most stressful and difficult seasons of my life. This place is, without a doubt, home. The people are authentic, the worship is amazing, the teaching is honest, engaging, and theologically sound. Whitewater is engaged in the community and always looking for opportunities to bless others without pushing any sort of agenda. You will find a family here - people who will be honest with you, who will be there for you through anything, and who will encourage you towards Christ. If this church disappeared would anyone in the community notice? There are so many needs in Pierce county and the people at Whitewater want to be a blessing. From middle school to youth center, foster care to seasonal celebrations we take loving our neighbor seriously. Not everyone is at the same place spiritually, but anyone can come and belong. My wife and I have been coming for a few years now and I am glad our family has such a great group to do life with.
