Loved that the Choir greeted people and your greeters the best we have ever seen in ANY church. Can't wait to visit that area again and we will be sure to...

We've been attending since we moved to Bellevue in 1993. It was the first church I had been to in my life where I felt I truly belonged. The reaching emphasizes that everything starts with having a personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ. Then there is the challenge to understand what that means in daily life and how to put that into practice.
