Our desire is to bring honor and glory to our Savior by coming together to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth through fellowship, songs of praise, prayer, and the study of the Word. We teach from the Scriptures, verse by verse, with great expectation of receiving the full counsel of God. Our dress is casual, our gatherings are open to all seeking Christ, and our focus remains at the nexus of the cross—that is, the balance of our vertical relationship with the Lord, and our horizontal relationship with others.  Sunday mornings at 10:00 am or Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm.  “The Lord led my family and I to pastor TCF in December of 2020 and we have been overjoyed to call the Toutle River Valley home ever since. I believe that the joy of the Lord should characterize all that we do. I am excited to see what God has in store for us as we diligently seek to keep in step with His Spirit. The Lord made it clear to me from an early age that I was called to rural church ministry and living into that call by serving the greater Toutle/Silverlake community continues to be a tremendous blessing!” - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") --- ## URL: https://www.toutle.org/reset-password-page ### Title: Reset password page ### Page ID: 6052502 ### Content: Reset Password Reset Password --- ## URL: https://www.toutle.org/our-staff ### Title: Our Staff ### Page ID: 6052504 ### Content: # Our Staff ###### ***SCOTT SWENSON*** ###### ***MARCUS HYNNING*** ###### ***LAURIE SANCHEZ*** ###### ***DEBBIE CARNEY*** # Our Church Board To contact, you can email us at office@toutle.org or call 360-967-5411 - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") --- ## URL: https://www.toutle.org/ministries ### Title: Ministries ### Page ID: 6052505 ### Content: # Connect with a Ministry ###### **CHILDREN'S** ###### **YOUTH** ###### **WOMAN'S** No matter your stage or season of life, we want you and your family to join us!

We are committed to “Love God, Love People and Make Disciples” by being an avenue of transformation primarily through teaching the Gospel message of salvation, practicing discipleship, and building and sustaining healthy communities in the Toutle River Valley and the world. At Toutle Christian Fellowship, our values are derived from our Mission and Vision, what we believe God has for us to be as a church. Based on this, we are committed to:  Toutle Christian Fellowship has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Him and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ. \* The only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess, and without which we \* Worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship. \* We believe in all the fundamental doctrines of the evangelical Protestant church.  For example, we believe in the inerrancy of Scripture and that the Bible,  both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. \* That God is eternally existent in three separate persons:  \* We believe that God the Father is the personal, transcendent,  \* We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His vicarious death on the Cross, was bodily resurrected, ascended back to the right hand of God the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us. After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world,  \* All people are by nature separated by God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting in Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed with the Holy Spirit. All his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord. \* We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the Scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless. \* We believe that church government should be simplistic rather than a complex bureaucracy and we depend on the Holy Spirit to lead, rather than fleshly promotion. \* We seek to teach the Word of God in such a way that its message can be applied to an individual's life, leading that person to greater maturity in Christ. - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") --- ## URL: https://www.toutle.org/history-of-tcf ### Title: Our History ### Page ID: 7152565 ### Content: I'm just a little country church, built so many years ago. By those who knew the future, of where our souls would go. They prayed the valley would gather, to sing praises and fellowship, To break bread and communion, though first uncomfortable to sit. There's been so many come and go, with laughter, pain and tears,  And walls that shook with voices, with songs of many years. And though my frame is changing, and new paint adorns the walls, The same foundation still remains, for the purpose of it all. You see God is still in charge here, He will let us know His plan. For how the walls are structured is not the important thing. It's the love my workers have for each other, while they labor. Each blessed soul who's filled with grace, neighbor helping neighbor,  So if you want to come and worship and find peace you're searching for, Please don't stand on ceremony, just open up my door. “It was on October 1, 1950, in the Silver Lake Grange Hall that Reverend Victor Hovde, the American Sunday School Union superintendent of Southwest Washington District, met with 37 people from the Silver Lake-Toutle area and appointed Henry B. Enns as superintendent of the local Sunday School group. This group met in the Grange Hall until October 15th when we began meeting in the music room of the then grade school building of the Toutle Lake School. Here we had our Sunday worship services until 1956, when the Multipurpose building was built and we moved our Sunday School and worship services into that building. In both buildings we were permitted to use as many grade school class rooms as we needed. The beginning of this work for the Lord was exciting. As it became known to the people that there was a Sunday School in this community, the attendance steadily increased until in the early 1960’s we were averaging 110-115. On Easter Sunday we had our largest attendance ever, 130 people.” In the spring of 1958, the property (about 2 acres) for the church building and parsonage, directly across the road from the Toutle School was purchased from Crown Zellerback Company for $250.00. Weyerhaeuser Timber Company donated two bunk house cabins from logging camp 9, which the men of the church prepared and moved to the church property on December 26-27, 1958. These structures were positioned just south of where the present parsonage stands. They were connected to each other in an “L” shape and remodeled with the addition of a wood stove and seats. They were then used as the meeting house for the Sunday evening service, Bible studies, and prayer gatherings. In late summer of 1963, construction for the first portion of the church building (the south wing) began by an all-volunteer crew. By 1967, although construction was still ongoing with the church building, the congregation moved from meeting in the Toutle Lake school to the unfinished church building. The first service was held in the incomplete auditorium of the church on August 13, 1967. After its completion and the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, the construction of the north portion of the church began in 1981. The congregation, again, began to meet in the new, yet still incomplete, worship space in 1984. The new addition of the church building was not fully completed until the final trim and finish work was installed in 1988. The building was a volunteer project, and no loan was ever used to finance the building. God supplied the needs at each stage of the construction, every step of the way.  In 2005, Toutle Lake Community Bible Church changed its name to Toutle Christian Fellowship and continues today under this name. Since October 1, 1950, there has been an established Gospel witness here in the Toutle Valley, despite the many ups and downs for this little country church. We are grateful for the people who have been faithful in the Lord’s work and to those who remain devoted to the Lord’s guidance and direction of His church that we get to call home. - [Home](/) - [About](/about) - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy) - [Our Staff](/our-staff) - [Our History](/history-of-tcf) - [Calendar](https://toutlecf.churchcenter.com/calendar?view=list) - [Connect](https://toutlecf.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1162283) - [Give](/give) - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org) - [VBS 2026](https://laurielynne.aidaform.com/free-event-registration-form) - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy) - [Our Staff](/our-staff) - [Our History](/history-of-tcf) - [Home](/) - [About](/about) - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy) - [Our Staff](/our-staff) - [Our History](/history-of-tcf) - [Calendar](https://toutlecf.churchcenter.com/calendar?view=list) - [Connect](https://toutlecf.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1162283) - [Give](/give) - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org) - [VBS 2026](https://laurielynne.aidaform.com/free-event-registration-form) - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy) - [Our Staff](/our-staff) - [Our History](/history-of-tcf) --- ## URL: https://www.toutle.org/about-tfc-copy ### Title: Our Mission ### Page ID: 7152657 ### Content: We find our mission and purpose as a family of faith in the red letters of Scripture. Two passages that make clear the focus of Christ’s desire for those who follow Him are the Great Commandment in Matthew 22:37-40 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20.  And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”  And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  With these key passages of Scripture in mind, we are committed to “Love God, Love People, and Make Disciples” by being an avenue of transformation. This means that we are learning to live every day by the Word of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to build communities of whole people devoted to honoring God our Father, both here in the Toutle River Valley, and around the world.  Toutle Christian Fellowship was formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ on October 1, 1950. Still today, we continue to be a body of believers that submit ourselves to His Lordship, with a deep desire to know Him and to be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.  We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's (*agápē*) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and, without which, we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.  We embrace that true worship of God is done in Spirit and in Truth. This means that we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship, while being firmly rooted and established in the Truth—that is, the inspired Word of God. We are established upon traditional, orthodox, historic, biblical Christianity as outlined in 1 Corinthians 15 and The Apostle’s Creed, among other historic statements of faith. Our beliefs are not based on what feels true to us or on what agrees with our human reason, but on what God has revealed to be true. Consequently, we base our beliefs on God’s words in the Bible and seek to understand more and more deeply what God has there spoken.  We believe that God is eternally existent in three united, yet separate persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator God, who created all things through the Son. Jesus, His Son, is fully God and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided the atonement for our sins by His death on the cross, was bodily resurrected, and ascended to the right hand of God the Father; He ever lives to make intercession for us and will again return to restore all things. The Holy Spirit is the eternal Comforter that Christ poured out on believers after His ascension. The Holy Spirit empowers all people by His gifts to fulfill Christ’s command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.  We hold that all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin. In faith, we embrace that the salvation, redemption, and forgiveness Christ offers are freely given to all by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This means that when a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord, that person is born again and sealed with the Holy Spirit. Their sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord. Finally, we acknowledge that no single statement of faith can fully account for what we believe when we consider all that the Lord has revealed to us in Scripture. Given this, we seek to teach the Word of God in such a way that His message can be applied practically for the life of any individual, leading that person to greater maturity in Christ Jesus.  - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") --- ## URL: https://www.toutle.org/about ### Title: About ### Page ID: 7155882 ### Content: - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Home](/ "Home") - [Give](/give "Give") - [Events](/events "Events") - [About](/about "About") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Preschool](https://smartstartelc.org "Preschool") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History") - [Our Mission](/about-tfc-copy "Our Mission") - [Our Staff](/our-staff "Our Staff") - [Our History](/history-of-tcf "Our History")
