HISTORY

Sunset Community Church is a new name to a church that has been meeting since 1950 under the previous name of Calvary Baptist Church.

Calvary Baptist Church had it's first gathering in Renton on July 2, 1950 and broke ground on the current property in 1952. Since that time the generations of our church family have helped start and/or support over 19 different individuals and church starts. 

AFFILIATION

As a member church of the Puget Sound Baptist Association (PSBA) and the Northwest Baptist Convention (NWBC) we cooperate in shared ministry which includes church planting, missions work, disaster relief and more. The Northwest Baptist Convention is a regional association of over 500 churches in Oregon, Washington and North Idaho and is a part of a national association of the Southern Baptist Convention. 

autonomy

While we choose to cooperate with various associations (as noted above) those associations have no overarching authority that dictate the vision, values, or beliefs of our local congregation. You can read our Bylaws for more info on our leadership structure and how decisions are made.

Beliefs

We believe the Bible is God's inspired word and we hold to it as our sole authority for faith and practice. 

We also associate with the Southern Baptist Convention of churches, working together to equip the local church and take the Gospel to the nations. As such we affirm the Baptist Faith and Message.
