History of Via de Cristo of Western Washington

Via de Cristo of Western Washington is associated with the National Lutheran Secretariat. Our local Secretariat had its beginning during a meeting in the spring of 2003 between the following individuals: Ron Millard (National Lutheran Secretariat Outreach Chairman), Paster Ken Wyneken (King of Kings Lutheran Church in Renton, WA), Ron and Linda Becker, Mary Olson and Blake and Jan Ozias.

It was incorporated as a non-profit organization in February 2004, and conducted its first weekend in October 2004 -- a coed weekend attended by 12 pilgrims. The team that produced the weekend was comprised of Fourth Day  community members from western Washington, Arizona, California and Utah.
