Marriage and Family Agreement

In May of 2000, more than forty churches in Puyallup, Sumner, and Bonney Lake gathered together in Pioneer Park to unite on behalf of marriages.  They signed a Marriage and Family Agreement in order to collectively impact the marriages and families in the Valley.  The following is the document that was signed and the churches committed to uphold.

We, churches of greater Puyallup, unite to foster marriage as a life-long, joyous covenant by affirming and holding to the following Marriage and Family Agreement

While no one is perfect, we affirm the high standards of Christian marriage and we proclaim the truth of God’s forgiving love. The Good News of Jesus Christ offers each of us the hope of a fresh start. No one is beyond the reach of God’s amazing grace.
