Worship Director

Lake Tapps Community Church (LTCC) 

Seeking a Part-Time Worship Director 

Who We Are

Lake Tapps Community Church began as a church plant in 1967 by a small group of believers from a local church who sought a place to worship closer to their homes in the rapidly developing Lake Tapps area. Today we number 175-225 adults across two services and occupy our "church on a hill" that is well situated and wholly owned by the congregation.

Each week we preach the Word and exalt God in Worship. We hold weekly Bible studies for adults and students. We also support missionaries and evangelize the growing community around us. The church is led by the Elders and the Church Council. 

How We Worship

Through a mix of biblically infused lyrics and varied musical styles, we sing together in praise of Christ. We believe our songs are prayers sung together to God. This is a church that loves to sing!
