A brief history

The first worship service of our church was held in April 1990 under the leadership of Reverend Spencer Marsh. Spencer, who passed away in 1993 after a battle with cancer, set the foundation of the church with the belief that all members were ministers of the church and that he simply enabled the process of finding God in each of us. At that time, we were called the Issaquah United Church of Christ and then later, the congregation took the name Sammamish Congregational United Church of Christ. Finally, in 2004, we became what we call ourselves today, "Spirit of Peace United Church of Christ."
