Summer Sunday Swaps!
Three Joint Worships Planned with Admiral Congregational UCC: July 29, August 12 & 19

On Sunday, July 29, the Alki UCC congregation is invited up the hill to worship with Pastor Andrew Conley-Hobson and all our our friends at Admiral UCC, 4320 SW Hill. NOTE: This service begins at 10:30 am.
On Sundays, August 12 & 19 the Admiral congregation has been invited to join us for worship at our regular 10:-00 am time. Visiting Pastor Bruce Wilson is leading worship.
About Pastor Andrew
Andrew Conley-Holcom took a roundabout way to the ministry, starting first as a public school teacher before finding a calling in genocide studies and violence prevention education. He has worked as a youth director, a conflict management workshop facilitator, and an advocate for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.
He received his M.A. in Anthropology from Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA and his M.Div. from Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA. He was the first male M.Div. student to earn the Women's Studies in Religion Certificate from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA.
