Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We pray God’s comfort and peace over you and your household during this time of uncertainty. As your rector, clergy and lay leaders, we have listened carefully to all the information, requirements, and recommendations of our national, state and local governments. After much prayer and consideration, we have made the decision to resume in-person services at Christ Our Hope Anglican Church as well as continue with online worship simultaneously.  Following local and state guidelines, we our practicing social distancing, checking temperatures of everyone upon entry, requiring everyone to wear a mask (per Washington state recommendations), and cleaning/disinfecting after services

If you would like to attend in-person, please come with either mask. If you are feeling ill or would like to attend virtually, please visit our Facebook page a few minutes before 10am to access Facebook Live. Another option is to Facebook message or email Fr. John to obtain a zoom link.

The Reverend Fr. John Allen, Rector

Fr. John Allen is a native Washingtonian.  In 2012, he graduated from Western Washington University with his bachelor’s degree in history and social studies.

During his time at school, he met and married his wife Camilla in 2015. Soon after graduation, he was offered a position in his home state of Washington and accepted the position as the Priest of Christ Our Hope.
