My sister found this church via Google and we attended their Easter Sunday Service (April 21, 2019 at 11:30am PST). We were blessed to have met the greeters, and inside we were met by another to direct us to our seats! We witnessed 2 baptisms, sang songs of worship, listen to an amazing sermon and then had communion (3 options, which included gluten free for those that cannot eat gluten). The pastor that spoke was Dr. Brenda Salter Mcneil and her message was on the Birth of Hope! God bless her she is a phenomenal preacher! Highly recommend visiting this church!

I have been going to Quest for four years now and it is a wonderful church…read more Whether you are a visitor or a regular attender, people are open and welcoming. I have never met more genuine and kind people than I have attending and being involved with Quest. Quest recently moved to the Leary location which was actually the old Mars Hill location. The space is big and can be a bit overwhelming upon arrival but once you're inside the sanctuary, the setting is surprisingly intimate and the flow of the service is nice and manageable. They have a nursery for infants and waddlers and programs for kids as well as for high school and college-aged people. I was in the post-college group for some time and it was a great experience. I can't recommend Quest enough to anyone interested in a church. The church is solidly scripture-based and centered around Jesus. Social justice and reconciliation are key focuses of Quest. Please feel free to message me if you have questions!

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.

Despite being the minority, we have never felt so welcome in a new space. They have been in the community for 120 years, so you know they are doing it right. Reverend Williams is witty, fun and relatable. He also hops like a cricket, which I needed as I get sleepy in most Judeo-Christian services I'm dragged to as a heathen. If you like a chorus of strong voices that rock your core, go the first Sunday of the month - it will bring you to tears. Seriously. and get this...I went back. Mt. Zion broke my one timer trend as we felt so welcome.

I love this church. Before coming to Open Home about a year and a half ago, I had tried many…read morechurches in Seattle and never really felt a strong connection or belonging at any of them. Sitting in rows listening to one person talk for 40 minutes and singing a few worship songs did not feel exciting or life-giving. Coming to Open Home, I experienced church in a whole new way and, I believe, the way God intended - as a community, not an event. The people at Open Home are truly open and accepting of everyone and know how to have fun. If you are looking for authentic community, want to grow in your relationship with God and other believers, or just interested in (or skeptical of) Jesus and the Christian faith, come join us on a Sunday. Don't come expecting a polished service with a big worship band, fancy lighting, lyrics on a screen, and a preacher talking at you. Come expecting thought-provoking conversation (that you can choose to participate in or not), welcoming people who hate the "Seattle Freeze," and some pretty tasty food!
