As a member of North Shore Bible Church for seven years I can only give it a five star rating, wish…read moreI could give more. This is a bible based church that believes Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose from the grave to be with our God in Heaven. This is also a very caring church reaching out to people in our community. If you are in Manson on vacation and looking for a church please stop by North Shore Bible Church.

It's... "church for people who don't like church" alright. Any theological gripes aside... even for…read morea non-denom church, it feels exclusively like a place to hear some self improvement sermons with bits and pieces of the bible mixed in, and maybe to mingle if you're in whatever clique. I think its all good intentions and everything in regards to the people running the show, but I will also say, ironically, if you're not the right stereotypical subtype of Chelan native then you're not really gonna feel welcome here aside from getting greeted by the odd older folk that are happy to see everybody. Ultimately as someone trying to build and strengthen my faith it's important that I feel the presence of God when I go to worship, and I don't here. It all feels so hollow here compared to other churches I've been to, and I don't think the eventual new location or community event or slick video/presentation is going to fix that. Just makes me sad, but I pray someone's getting somewhere in their relationship with Jesus out of it.

I became aware that a church member had a conflict with me. I contacted her with a copy to the…read morepastor, Kyle Plew (per Matthew 18:15-16). Kyle: Thanks for the text, Bruce. I'm sorry you were given bad information. If you have any further concerns about this situation, I would appreciate you dealing with me directly. Thank you. Bruce: Please explain what did happen then. Kyle: No, I have said all I'm going to say. Have a good night. Again, according to scripture, I requested a meeting with the elders. They refused to meet and refused to give a reason. I find that this is an example of "talking the talk but not walking the walk." Certainly not practicing what they preach.

It's hard to believe there are no reviews for this church! It's such a fascinating focal point in…read morethe heart of "downtown" Chelan. You can't miss it: it's an old, seriously old, but amazingly well-preserved log cabin-like structure, constructed from massive, sturdy logs, with stained glass and all. It's quite beautiful and is testimount to the skilled construction skills of the local pioneers and the substantial local materials (Douglas fir logs, granite, etc) of the late 1800's. Copying from the brochure: "St. Andrew's Episcopal Church will soon celebrate its 100th birthday. It is believed to be the oldest log church in the state that can claim an uninterrupted record of worship service by a single congregation. The church building remains very much the same today as it was when constructed nearly a century ago. In 1992, the church was recognized for its historical significance by being selected to the National Registry of Historic Places". This brochure must be a bit outdated, as the church advertises that it has been "serving the Lord without interruption since 1998". So the building is actually over 100 years old (if my math is correct!). It really is a cool building. If one is interested in the history of pioneers, or log cabins and other early log structures/architecture, or church history, you should check out this historic small church. They still hold worship services here on Sunday mornings at 10am, if one is so inclined. Our family walked the grounds and through the church and admired the solid and precise notching of all these huge logs together, fitting into each other like perfect jigsaw pieces. Amazing how the edifice has held up so well over all these years. It's definately worth checking out.
