Now serving Edgewood, Federal Way and other South Sound communities, Unity
Church of Christianity was incorporated in October, 1972 and was originally
located in Burien. Under the leadership of Rev. Michael Murphy, the church
met at the local Veterans Hall and YMCA until 1976 when the purchased a
large house in Federal Way.
The building was renovated and fashioned into
a house of worship, and we stayed in the picturesque building until 1996,
at which time we sold our church, bought some land with intentions to build
a new church building. We held Sunday worship services at Rainier View
School in Federal Way, and leased office/classroom space nearby in Federal
Way. However, with wet land designations and drainage problems, we were
forced to sell the property in 2000, and in January 2001 we moved to
Edgewood where we are currently leasing 7,000 sq. ft. of wonderful, light
space.
Other ministers who served our church include Les McClelland, Dick
Everetts, Tom Coates, Carl Stouffer and interim minister Jim
Peterson. Rev. Steve Colladay, our current minister, has been with us
since May, 2000. We are proud of our history and celebrate the ministers
and congregation who richly bless our lives and our community. |
