I was in search of a church that stayed true to biblical principles without bending to the government's intimidation or adjusting them to suit a virtue-signaling narrative based on fear of death and man. By God's grace, I found Canyon Hills, a church that unwaveringly holds on to its faith in Christ. I pray for my new church to stay pure and unaffected by the world's influences. May we remain devoted to Jesus Christ, our true King! read more

Great God centered church. Energetic worship, scripture focused sermons with a large emphasis on accountability, love and the pursuit of Christ. read more

Amazing church that preaches the TRUTH. Does not sugarcoat sinful living. The people that have anything negative to say about their BIBLICAL teaching should check their hearts and lives & are probably those in need of repentance. read more

Have been attending in person most if the time, occasionally online. True to biblical principles and teachings, including the teachings of Christ. Hypocrisy in the world is occasionally called out when necessary, just as Christ did. Children's ministry seems very good for my grandchildren. Large facility handles the traffic ok, enough parking on all sides and across street. read more

Michael R recommends Canyon Hills Community Church. I have found true "family" at Canyon Hills. As a single person, I have come to feel the embrace of Jesus through the worship and teaching, AND the fellowship-shared community-like nowhere else. I can't encourage you enough to come, join us, give yourself to Jesus more fully, and embrace fully a church family that will join you through whatever is going on in your life. The Body of Christ at Canyon Hills Community Church in a beautiful way, more full way, has demonstrated to me, what being a part of the family of God is all about. And what being part of a church where the Word of God is demonstrated in grace and in truth. I look forward to seeing you at our next "family gathering" be it by video/YouTube or, when this difficult season has passed, at our building. You'll find me warming up and getting cozy by the fire place between services! read more

Biblical teaching...serving locally and globally...awesome church body...growing with 4 services!

I attended here for two sermons. I came last Sunday December 3 and there was a sermon about grace and having grace to our community. Loved it, until they started to talk about "protecting the life of an unborn child" which I feel like casts shame upon women. Didn't really like that. Loved the message, but there's no reason to condemn people who have had miscarriages or abortions. I could've heard that message differently than how it was portrayed, but that is what I heard. Today on December 10, the pastor started his sermon about talking about George Floyd's death to pique the interest of the following message of justice. Amazing! Can't wait to hear what this message is going to be about! As we started to go into the sermon, the pastor started condemning Black Lives Matter, the LGBTQ community, nonbinary people, and going down a political message; rather than a spiritual message. I would think that if Jesus were here walking around in today's age, Jesus would love all no matter what. I don't believe there is space for pastors to condemn people for their "sins" especially as a nondenominational church. A church should be welcoming no matter their audience. As a white cis female, I don't have a place to speak for their black community or the LGBTQ community, but I believe that putting together sermons targeted towards the condemnation of these communities isn't Christian-like. Although, this is all just my own personal opinion on this church. The reason why I'm sharing my opinion here is to let others know who are seeking out a new church or their first church. What I heard was a pastor weaponizing God's words to promote condemnation over specific groups that do not fit their rhetoric. The church is beautiful, they were open about their projected "tithing and donation goals" ($13M) and how they spend the money, they have a lot of different life groups to attend outside the Sunday service, they have four different services throughout Sunday that you could attend, a bunch of age groups which is awesome for people like me in their 20's, and amazing volunteers that help with finding seats, opening doors, coffee & water stations, et cetera. The messages I was hearing really outweighed the benefits and have me searching for a new church to attend. I really wanted to like this church but I'm not going to tolerate God's words being used as weapons against people who God still loves. It is very easy to serve a message about the meaning of Justice in the Bible without condemning others on their political, social, and personal beliefs and choices. read more

I love Canyon Hills Church .... In the world that is upside down on values and basic reason, Pastor Steve is a person of character and genuineness, Unlike many other spiritual leaders demonstrating the opposite during this pathetic clown show called " pandemic ", his verticality and spine on holding on to common sense was refreshing. read more

Wow looking at the review below that she won't go to this church because white leaders are you freaking kidding me that is the most racist remark I have ever heard and slanderous on a church sounds like there is an alternative agenda Of hate and slander who cares if they're white they don't care what color you are when you go in there and I been in there and I'm going to start going back to that church they are there to save every soul they don't care what freakin color you are that is unreal Racism that review should be removed it's completely slanderous and wrong they are there to save souls they don't freaking care what you look like disgusting Review read more

Canyon Hills CC is very philanthropic - they have a feeding program and contribute a significant amount of their income to the community. I know a few of the elders and they are down-to-earth, sincere people. This church unapologetically preaches directly from the Bible . This is not a "social club "- it's a place to understand the Bible and how to apply it to your real life. They do have Life Grouos to get to know people better, because it's a big church and hard to get to know people at the service . An earlier review complained that at Easter, a video addressed sin right away. The heart of the gospel is to understand that we are all sinners and admitting it allows us to accept the penalty Christ paid by freeing us and forgiving us and allowing us to live in that freedom by a personal relationship with Him. There's no "tickling of your ears" at this church, but I found that to be refreshing . read more

Pastor Steve and all the pastors at Canyon Hills preach the word, we go through books of the Bible and listen to God's word not twisted to serve current world views. read more

After being deeply wounded by the church we previously attended for almost a decade, our family was on the hunt for a place to heal and reconnect with healthy believers. We've attended CHCC for about 18 months now, and it's been an incredibly healing community for us. (Side note: I first showed up with a nose ring and blue hair and didn't feel out of place. Now I have normal hair and still fit in. Every shape size and color is represented there!) The first time we attended a service and the pastor had everyone stand out of respect for the reading of God's Word, I was in tears and I was hooked. Too many churches today dish out a watered-down version of cultural Christianity to boost their numbers and avoid offending anyone. Canyon Hills - and every member of their teaching staff (who are all fantastic) - speak the unfiltered truth in love straight from the Bible. Every message leaves you challenged to dig into the Word more and grow spiritually. The leadership is set up to have accountability so no one person runs the church. They are transparent in their financial information - each week the previous week's tithes are posted in the bulletin, and yearly they make their proposed budget available to members before it is finalized. Pastors and elders are kind and accessible. Coffee is good and it's free! The kids programs are all fantastic (we have a preschooler, middle schooler and high schooler) and they were all warmly welcomed and have gotten plugged in and had incredible experiences. We now host a LifeGroup and continue to deepen relationships with wonderful people who love Jesus. Worship each week is high caliber and the leaders are so good at what they do. It is relevant without being gimmicky or even overly loud. In my 40 years, I've not been to a church that does more for the community or the world: CHCC has ministries for men, women, children, families, prisoners; there's high quality counseling offered free to members (and it's legit - I was there for 6 months and it changed my life!!); they have an active Food Bank for the community, a strong Hispanic outreach program (including translation each Sunday!), unending global outreach all year long, long and short term missions trips; they have a treatment center for men who are battling addiction and another one for women is in the works; ministries for the elderly, for those with special needs, mechanics doing car repair for widows and single mamas, Bible studies and other fantastic education of all kinds. Free concerts in the summer. The list goes on and on. I am so grateful the Lord led us to Canyon Hills last year. It has been life altering in the most beautiful ways. If you want to be loved, if you want to be challenged, if you want to grow spiritually and in knowledge of the goodness of God, check it out. You'll be blessed. read more

We moved to Kirkland 13 years ago from out of state and were interested in finding a church home within reasonable driv. We visited several churches on the east side and finally decided on Canyon Hills Community Church. We are fed each week on God's Word through expository preaching and teaching. This is a large church but friendly and dynamic. Many opportunities to serve and also to be involved ina small Life Group. Cannot recommend this church enough. read more

Wow, what hospitality! Our Precept Team consistently is amazed by this fantastic, welcoming team. We have served countless Bible Study Leaders through the hospitality of Canyon Hills. They've opened their doors and out out the red carpet for our teams as we train new Bible Study Leaders in their beautiful facility. read more

If you get the chance to rewatch the Good Friday service, do it. It was one of the best things I've ever heard. Gospel presented POWERFULLY, it was absolutely glorious. Cried with gratitude all the way through and I will definitely be adding it to my favorite sermons of all time! This church truly has an audience of one which is the Lord God Almighty, they don't water it down but preach what people NEED to hear. Saved people NEED to hear the gospel just as much as lost people NEED to hear it. So beyond thankful for this church ‍ read more

Great church. Pastor Steve teaches the word right from the bible. No sugar coated stuff just the TRUTH and the worship is extraordinary! Joe read more

I was shocked by the size of the church. I could see where a person could get lost in the shuffle. I really liked the service, Pastor Steve had a great message. Music was good, not over the top but definitely got you moving. I won't be attending again simply because of the large size. read more

I've been a member of this church for 12 years. It is a great church! The pastor stands firmly on the word of God. The worship is amazing. There are programs available for everyone to get involved in. There is a wonderful children's ministry with people available to care for special needs individuals. It is big enough that there are plenty of opportunities for you to serve in whatever capacity you like or just stay in the background until you want to serve. Everyone is so friendly...it's a good place to be. read more

We started going to Canyon Hills about 8 years ago. I just was getting online to listen to a sermon and noticed an interesting review. We came from a church that was all about show, gimmicks and making sure everyone "felt good". We were looking for a pastor and a church united in teaching from the true Word and we couldn't have found a better church than Canyon Hills. Steve and the other pastors have always preached straight from the Bible, true to the meaning of God's word, and have done so with no apologies. That's what is needed in today's world. read more

Canyon Hills is warm & friendly. I recently met with a pastor there who gave biblical wisdom during a time in my life when I needed to be reminded to trust God. God used a meeting at starbucks with this pastor to encourage me to boldly follow Christ with reckless abandon. I am grateful for Canyon Hills focus: To make better disciples of Christ! May God receive all of the praise & glory for accomplishing the impossible through the staff at Canyon Hills read more

Canyon Hills has excellent, Biblical, practical, preaching on Sunday mornings: 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30 am. Great kids programs, class for special needs, mens and womens ministries, seniors. We lead two life groups: one in english and one in Spanish, and they have been a huge impact on our lives. They are the best way to connect with people and experience fellowship. Contemporary worship. One of the few churches that has a full choir that sings every so often. Right off the freeway. read more

If you are looking for a bible based church, this is for you. To make more and better disciples of Christ.

LOVE this church! So many great ministries available! Cannot say enough - go check it out!!
