SEATTLE PRESBYTERY, WASHINGTON - Grace. This one word is all Pastor Roger Wu needs to answer the question: “Why become a chartered Presbyterian church?” As a commissioned ruling elder, Wu has been shepherding the community of First Taiwanese Presbyterian Church for 10 years. “We have all experienced God’s amazing grace,” he says. “Without His grace, it’s impossible.”
For most of those 10 years, the Taiwanese community has partnered with Mercer Island Presbyterian Church , with whom they have shared fellowship, worship, and service. “From the first day, we were warmly welcomed by MIPC!” Wu says. “[Their] sincere acceptance and incredible hospitality [has allowed us to] freely grow in joy and appreciation. What’s the secret to a good relationship? It’s simple—they treat us as family members and we treat them as family members. We are one church in Christ.”
