Eastridge Church in West Seattle will celebrate 90 years of ministry in the West Seattle community on Sunday, April 25 at 9am. Founded in 1931 as Victory Tabernacle, later changed to West Seattle Assembly of God and finally to Eastridge Church West Seattle, the church has a rich history in the community with a legacy of Christian teaching, outreach and ministry for the whole family.

The church began in a theater building on California Avenue at the main West Seattle junction and later moved to a store building on the 3200 block on California Avenue. As the church grew it made plans to find a better (and larger) location. About 1950, it purchased the corner of 39th and Oregon and plans were made to build a preliminary building. The building was envisioned to be a basement with future plans for an additional level. For several years the congregation worshiped in the basement building, until about 1954 the top level was built. In February 1957 the new second level of the building was dedicated to the Lord. In 1966 the church had again outgrown the facility and a new annex of offices, a printing room, additional restrooms, eight new classrooms and two large departmental meeting spaces was begun in October 1966, completed in April 1967.

In 2005 the church was on the brink of closing when it merged with Eastridge Church in Issaquah. With fresh vision and excitement, the campus grew and is again a beacon of hope in the community. It’s rich history, longstanding members and new families carry on the legacy of 90 years of ministry to the people of West Seattle with weekly services, Bible studies and outreach events.

The community is invited to celebrate this milestone anniversary at a church service, Sunday, April 25 at 9am. For more information visit EastridgeToday.com/celebration. Eastridge Church West Seattle is located at 4500 39th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116.
