The Workshop to Worship Project

Dear Friend in Christ:

The Vicar and the members of the St. Thomas Orthodox Church, Seattle, Washington, respectfully seek your prayers and financial support for building a place of worship. Our plan is to remodel the existing buildings to a church and a community center. The facility will be built on 1.1 acres of land purchased for the Church, located at 11651 SE 188th St. Renton, Washington.

Our Mission

Consistent with that of our mother Church, the mission of St. Thomas Orthodox Church is to conduct liturgical services, preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Holy Scriptures, the Faith, Doctrines and Teachings of The Malankara Orthodox Church of India and to serve the area community. A place of worship is essential to fulfill this mission.

How Can You Help Us? 1. By praying for the success of our Church Building Project. 2. By making a prayer request for you or your loved ones and making a small contribution through the "Donate" button below. 3. By forwarding the link to this page to your relatives and friends. Note:  All Donations are Tax Exempted. The Church will recognize all donors of $500 and above.
