This church works because it is not about the building but rather the people are the church. We all volunteer in some capacity in order to make it a successful ministry.

I have never attended a service at this church, so I can't speak to that aspect. I'm writing this…read morebecause of an issue that occurred that I'm afraid might speak to some questionable practices on the business side. Recently rented the sanctuary space for a piano recital for my students. The recital fee was exorbitant ($375), but I didn't mind paying it since I had enough students that I could absorb the cost through recital fees charged to the parents. The issue was they asked for a $500.00 damage/security deposit, which I gave to them by check, having being assured that the check would be shredded after the recital-providing there were not problems. The recital went smoothly, and after a small reception myself and some parents made sure the place was cleaned up and brought back to the state it was in before we came. One month later I discovered that my $500.00 security deposit was cashed and taken out of my account. After two days of trying to reach someone, I was finally told by the person in charge that I "left the sanctuary in quite a mess," which apparently meant that they found some popcorn on the floor and the piano wasn't moved back. While I strongly disputed both issues (none of my parents remembered bringing popcorn, and I'm sure I moved the piano back), it was very clearly not an issue that justified a $500.00 fee, and I was NEVER contacted that there was a problem and the money was taken out of my account a MONTH after the event without any communication from them. It was only after I threatened that I had no problem taking the matter to small claims court, that I was informed that they would return $450.00 of my $500.00 security deposit. I was so relieved to not have to deal with a court issue that I accepted, and I took the $50.00 loss. So for one event, they charged $375.00 whereas most churches charge $100-$200.00 for a sanctuary rental for the same kind of event, and they got an extra $50.00 from me after taking $500.00 without informing me and then returning $450.00. I will never use this church again, and will very strongly encourage other music teachers not to use them either.

The whole church was beautifully decorated for the season. There were two official photo stations for families, but honestly, you could take a picture anywhere and still get great Christmas vibes. There was a huge Christmas tree in the center of the lobby and giant nutcracker statues by the entrance--super festive. They also had several drink stations with coffee, tea, hot cocoa, apple cider, plus cookies for everyone to enjoy. The service itself was wonderful. The message really focused on the heart of Christmas and our Savior, Jesus. At the end, we lit our candles and worshipped together with classic Christmas songs, remembering God's love and grace. Our whole family loved it and had such a meaningful time worshipping together.

Why I think OCC is a great church: 1) authenticity - this church walks its talk and puts its money where it's mouth is, supporting countless local and global outreach missions; 2) leadership - Pastor Mike is so genuine, & humble. He doesn't preach, but shares his faith in Christ and teaches others in a non-judgmental, loving manner; 3) pastoral staff - OCC has a big flock and they provide a large staff to meet the needs of the church. I love that Pastor Mike shares the pulpit with the other pastors because it's let me discover they are all such big-hearted, gifted pastors; 4) worship - I love the worship service, the music is great; it draws me in and helps me connect with God on many levels. The messages are relevant, fortified by scripture always move me. 5) LifeGROUPS - let's face it - whether you are a huge church or not, you can't develop meaningful relationships with others in an hour or two a week. These groups provide settings in homes where you get to know your group members more intimately. Through Pastor Pat and others, the church trains the leaders, mentors them and stays connected. I am a fan of more contemporary, casual churches but I also want a church that challenges me and helps me grow in my relationships with God and others. For me, OCC does this very authentically and passionately.

I came here with high expectations and saw that this is one of the few mega churches in WA. The…read moremusic was good, but noticed that attendance wasn't quite big as expected. After hearing the pastor speak, it definitely felt like this could be a liberal church. I read another reviewer that this church became woke, and now I can see. I'm surprised they didn't have pride flags outside. A mega church doesn't grow this big without a pastor preaching the Bible. Although this church carries the title as a mega church, attendance from its members dropped a lot. Only half of the seats are filled during one service, which tells you a lot about its church direction. I would never attend a church that's LGBT, and this is what happens when a pastor and its staff allows the LGBT to take over a church. I don't mean to be judgmental towards any church, but it makes me want to steer clear whenever this issue comes up. The building is very nice and plenty of things for the kids to do here though. I would only take my family and friends to churches that preaches the Bible and isn't promoting LGBT
