I have limited experience with City Hill, however my visit here has left me with a very good…read moreimpression. It has what I need in a church plus. 1. Bible based foundation 2. Gospel is emphasized 3. Good positive music in praise and worship of God. 4. Open, nondenominational, multi cultural, age and ethnically diverse. 5. Respectful. 6. Well organized agenda, visually stimulating and good group participation. 7. Biblical learning environment. 8. Large enough to have a full program to meet the needs and interests of many. 9. Not a money or personality centered mega church. 10. Friendly and welcoming to strangers and new comers.

Overall our first visit was pretty good. Message was good. I'm used to more references to scripture…read moreso you know where in the Bible what they are speaking about is in scripture. Note: it's non-denominational if you're wondering. Worship was a bit loud when we first started but they adjusted it for closing songs. People were super friendly. Many came up to us and greeted and introduced themselves (&they weren't designated greeters). They introduced us to their families and others in church. They invited us to the upcoming 4th of July event (which we went to). And overall were cheerful kind and friendly. Honestly MORE people IN churches should be like this. What I mean is if you don't know someone or see someone new go out of your way to say hi and welcome them. It's not just the job of the greeters and staff. The church is predominately Russian, ukranian church body. A little diversity. They have an English service at 10am and Russian at 1230. People gather in the lobby chatting or grabbing a cup of coffee at their coffee bar in between services. Nice to see that sense of community. We'll go back again to continue getting a feel for if it's our home church.

He does not use his own opinion to guide us but bases his lessons on the lessons that the bible teaches. He and his wife ( a vocalist/pianist), are truly /the followers of Jesus. If you are just curious or want to know about possibly becoming a follower of Jesus, or want a personal relationship with the Lord, you are welcome to explore more with Kenmore Community Church. I am fairly new there but the people are welcoming, loving and non judgmental, at least from my experience. Personally, I love to see people walk through the church doors, no matter what their beliefs or backgrounds are. The church is not the building. The church is the people of God. The church is the body of Christ and it needs diverse people. They are to be like the arms and legs of a body, used to reach others in love and service and to offer healing in the world.

Eastside has been a home and a shelter during the craziness over the pandemic and the aftermath. We have found a home based and focused on Jesus, led with love by the very humble and caring pastors: Russ and Ana. Tracy is the current and best pastor my kids have ever had! She personally knows and cares for them and her program and ministry is curated to really teach our kids in the ways of the Lord! The World Cafe on site not only serves up delicious drinks, you are also warmly welcomed each morning by Danielle who currently runs it. She always gifts a drink to newcomers If you aren't convinced yet.... They use all of their profits (including tips) for missions! The love for their community is felt the minute you walk in! The greaters are authentic, the room reflects the growing diversity in Bothell, and the pastor always focus on unity and inclusion for everyone. For example, during the service they offer LIVE Spanish interpretation for our Latinx community. And just this past February we enjoyed a wonderful Black History month full of fellowship. Come check out Eastside! And find me after service

My 2 year old asks about going to church all week long, he loves the kids program so much and they always take really good care of my 3-month old so I can enjoy the service. There's a great nursing moms room that I've used a couple of times too and appreciated being able to hear the whole service from a private room w other moms even if my baby needs to be fed. The pastor is awesome (and is new since the reviewer commenting on the weird message she heard here back in 2016; I would be shocked if you didn't love the teaching now). My husband and I both love to go to church every week. Love the worship that is fresh but feels really authentic. Love the teaching. Love the kids programs. Connection opportunities TBD cause we haven't taken advantage of any yet but there's a Moms group that people rave about, and I am looking forward to a breakfast that they offer to get connected at the end of the month. Only one month in, but so far so good!

I love the people, the music, the children and youth programs and the Pastor Frank Baresel. The format is consistent and the content is very applicable to daily life.

It is a great place to come and begin or nourish a relationship with God and fellow believers.
