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'll keep coming back for second and third helping for sure. Well done Amazing Grace Spiritual Center.

It's refreshing and…read moreenlightening to always be learning from various spiritual traditions, rather than being told what to believe or how to live. Pastor Eric always has something thought-provoking, inspirational, original, and hilarious to share, and the other speakers I've heard there have been stellar as well. The music is contemporary and you never quite know what to expect, including a stellar gospel choir that sings on occasion. Now that the church is in it's new Ballard home, all kinds of groups, classes, and community involvement is ramping up. My only complaint is that I wish the church was closer to where I live!

I am currently not a member of your church, but my father went to Bible College there and I went…read morewith him as a child, often. I learned to love this church, and it was in this church that I really learned to Love the Lord. Unfortunately, even though you are a Bible believing, God preaching church, when it comes to supporting your members, you are sorely lacking. You see, my best friend IS a member of this church, and her mother recently passed away. She is exhausted after the long illness her mother had, and she was the primary caregiver, night and day. What I don't understand, is why, when she reached out to the Women's Pastor for support the only response was "I'll pray for you". What has happened to the church in this day and age? The only person who has offered any kind of support, and even a meal is a neighbor who is NOT a Christian. Come on! We are children of the Most HIgh GOD!! We are supposed to be supporting our fellow Christians! Not just with "I'll pray for you", but how about a meal? How about a cup of coffee? My friend is lonely, she is tired, she is spiritually drained and she is and has been waiting for HER church to reach out to her! If I was able to be there for her in person, I would be at the drop of a hat. But unfortunately all I can do is give her my support night and day via text and phone calls. I love this woman! She has devoted herself to her church, her family and most of all to the Lord. Is it too much to ask for someone who says that they care to actually care? Take her a meal, offer her a moment of your time to chat in person. She is a wonderful woman of the Lord, and she has been dumped on for a long time. Come on Church!! Rise up and support your members, and always keep this at the very top of your mind,,,,,,, What would Jesus do??? Thank you for hearing me.... My friends best friend

TL;DR: Sideris Church is a welcoming, Bible-centered community where newcomers feel genuinely…read moreconnected and empowered to grow in their faith. From the moment I stepped into Sideris Church, I felt seen and welcomed. A member noticed I was new and took the time to introduce me to others who shared similar backgrounds, making the start of my journey there feel natural and genuine. People here remember your name and make it a point to reach out, creating a sense of belonging that isn't just surface-level. As a newcomer, I appreciated how the church offers a range of ways to connect--whether that means joining a group, volunteering, or simply enjoying meaningful conversations / lunch after the service. At Sideris, the sermons stay true to the Word of God, delivering messages grounded in biblical teaching. There's a deliberate focus on not just understanding scripture but on actively living it out, making it easy to translate faith into everyday life. It's refreshing to be in a place where the Bible isn't just preached but practiced, with an emphasis on how we can apply God's teachings in our own lives. Another highlight of Sideris is its diversity. The congregation includes people from all backgrounds, professions, and interests, making it a truly dynamic community. There's always an opportunity to get involved, but it's up to you to take that first step and say "yes." Even something as simple as a four-minute conversation with a stranger has been key in helping me build friendships and find my place in Seattle. Sideris has crafted a space where community is both accessible and intentional, turning Sunday mornings into a genuine time of connection.

I hate leaving a bad review for a church but feel it is important to share. This church is full of…read morecliques and social groups. It seems like a welcoming environment at first until you realize how close these cliques are and hard it is to actually be welcomed equally in them. The leadership style is one that is do what I say and do not question it. If you do not agree with something they do (move to a new building and time) the pastors answer to the congregation is pray about it until you accept it. Recently a very sexist post was sent out where it implied a women should serve a man while watching tv in a bikini and the response when it was brought out was they did not even notice what the image was they posted on social media and in church newsletters. They are constantly asking for money as the church lost external funding support and even with the very small church size they have two pastors on staff and close friends employed. It is very disappointing seeing how this church uses money for salaries and how much everyone involved in the church is really just part of a very close clique of friends. Be careful if you consider this church- I fully believe it is all about income for the leadership and hanging out with their friends. The pastor has also asked regular attendees to RSVP yes to Facebook events even if they 100% know they can't attend to generate more buzz and hopefully get others to attend- how is a request like this for others to intentionally lie and mislead others to attend a church event ever OK? - well it's the culture of Sideris. Although I appreciate the pastors reply keep in mind attendees were also send specific instructions on to search for the church on google and how long to spend on the site to increase the keyword results- this is search engine manipulation yet the pastor asks his church to do this- including false RSVPs on Facebook and a don't question my decision environment but give me more money tactics..... You have been warned.
