About Lacey Bible Church

Lacey Bible Church is an independent Bible Church, which has more than doubled in size over the past five years to an average in-person attendance of 125. A little over 200 people call this church their “home.” We are located 10 miles from both the capital of the State of Washington and JBLM, one of the largest military bases in the country. We are about one hour south of the heart of Seattle.

The church facilities include a large traditional church building with a sanctuary that will seat 225, plus classrooms for adults and kids. Our campus is located on a major arterial road in one of Washington's fastest-growing and most unchurched communities. We own the building, a small parsonage, and seven acres of land debt-free. Our annual budget in 2023 is $270,000. The church is poised for growth.

The church holds to the historic doctrines of the faith. For us, the Bible is the final authority. How we read and interpret the Bible is also critical. We hold to a literal, historical-grammatical hermeneutic. This has led to several theological distinctions. The first is a dispensational theology. The second is a clear gospel of grace, which is received by faith alone in Christ alone, apart from works of any kind. We believe that God offers His gracious gift of eternal life through the death of His Son to everyone – and that people choose to accept it by faith freely. Faith is our human response to God’s promises. It is a decision and act of will; faith’s synonyms include “belief” and “trust.” Believers have both assurance of their salvation and eternal security since salvation is not based on our works but on Christ’s.
