This is specifically for their annual Salmon Bake. Being Jewish I wouldn't know much about the…read morechurch. Like a lot of fundrassers this event brings out a lot of people who aren't necessarily affiliated with the group being benefited. Vashonistas are like that. This event has been going on for 55 years and we've been hearing about it for months. The food was abundant and good. The alder smoked salmon was cooked pefectly which is really hard for an event where you have dozens(hundreds?)of fish to cook. The other thing that I found surpsing was that they allowed seconds which is pretty awesome. They had the great local rock band, Loose Change, playing. There were games and baloon animals for the kids and even a beer garden.

The fixtures are nothing special and there is bare piping that connects the receptacle to the wall (very cheap looking). They need to clean the room once an hour but they aren't doing that yet. The parishioners ("church people") are friendly to each other and seem very pleased to be alone in their social groups. It's like a robotic event that everybody does but no one knows why. This is a real turn-off The music was pleasant and gently distracting. The average age of the people is roughly 45 years. There are so many better ways to spend a Sunday than going in here. Anyway, cheers.

I've been a Christian for almost 50 years. In that time I've attended a Bible college for 2 years…read more(Multnomah University) and received tons on training for various types of ministries, including leading small groups. I'm no stranger to that. About 2 years ago my wife and I began attending this church, and I began to think about what ministry I could plug into. I settled on home study groups, and asked the pastor how I could get into that. He explained their process which I felt was reasonable. It involved joining an ongoing group and working with the group leader, assisting him for a few meetings, which I did. When I had completed the process, the group leader said I did fine and would communicate that with the pastor. It was understood at that point that my next step would be to establish a new study group somewhere in the church community. Both the group leader and the pastor knew this, and after I had completed my training and the study group had ended, I waited patiently for the pastor to contact me. He never did. So, one Sunday I stood waiting in the wings and caught him as he was leaving the stage. He was very brisk with me and wondered why I was waiting for him. I explained that I haven't heard from him and would like to know when the new groups would be starting up. He said "Well, I need to have your proposal for a new group in my Hand by the end of the day today because today is the deadline." Wow. There had been no communication to me about that deadline. And both the pastor and the group leader I worked with knew what my intentions and hopes were because I was pretty clear in my communication. I have never written a review for another church here on Yelp, but my experience with this pastor was very surprising. I was taken aback by his attitude. It's not like they have a gazillion group leaders coming out their ears, I don't understand why there was no communication to me or why he never even got back to me to talk with me about it further, even after my last encounter with him. You would think that when someone shows an interest in serving in the church, and especially in situations where there was a disconnect, the pastor would get back with you and talk about it and reconnect to discuss and review where to go from here. But what I got was Zero, nothing, nada. No followup with me whatsoever. Personally, I find that to be pretty inexcusable. His bedside manner is not the best I've ever seen, that's for sure. So I left the church. Not only was I unimpressed, I was saddened considerably. I would also add that while the preaching here is decent, it comes with what appears to be humor from the stage, but I have other thoughts about that. Dress code is very relaxed and informal. People are friendly.

I spent a long time looking for a church that was God centered and rightly guided and frankly while no church is perfect, this church was perfect for us. We help out with sound, lights and projection on the odd Sunday or we sit in the second row, feel free to come and visit and find my husband and I. I would love to do church with you and introduce you to my pastors Andy, Brian and Abel, who are some of the best spiritual leaders I have had the pleasure of meeting. If you want a church that is perfect, has all the best people, only sings the songs you like and gives sermons that won't offend you or challenge you then this is not the place for you.... However, if you want a place to come, where you will be welcomed and loved regardless of where you are at in your walk with God; if you want a place that will challenge you spiritually to be better, that will give you a place to connect with other believers and to worship with people who want to be here and want to just do life together; then this is the place for you. My name is Cristina and I will be sitting (two rows back from the front, on the right hand side) at 11:00 every Sunday, singing as loud as I can and loving Jesus with my all; feel free to come and sit with me and my husband, and check out Riverview Community Church for yourself.
