How it all started...
Seven families began to gather in late 2021 to dream and pray for more life-giving churches in the Seattle metropolitan region, but especially near the city of Kirkland. Over 400,000 people live on the Eastside King County, yet it is a region in need of more churches.
As the team gathered to worship and practice the way of Jesus in Kirkland, a space opened up for us to meet in, in the facility of Kirkland Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Regular Sunday morning gatherings started in January of 2022.

Expanding the vision...
Currently, we meet every Sunday morning at 11 am as a community to worship, listen to God's word preached, love on one another, pray for each other.
In the first couple of years of the church plant, we have seen an incredible group of people come together, from 35 different nationalities, very representative of what our community looks like.
The following ministry teams were established in the first 3 years: Worship & Music, Kids & Youth Ministries, First Impressions Team, Prayer Team, Media/Tech teams, and teams focused on serving the community through Night to Shine (serving the Special Needs community), a partnership with Acres of Diamonds (serving the homeless women and children) and evangelism.

Practicing the Way of Jesus Together
Our desire is to be a community that practices the Way of Jesus together. As a church, our aim is to be a life-giving community church in Kirkland, Washington, where people from all backgrounds can find Jesus, connect to community, and change the world around us together!
