My requirements include great music and an empowering message that I can relate to in my daily life. SVA goes above and beyond for both of these requirements. The music is amazing.... very upbeat at times and beautiful and moving at other times. All of their musicians are wonderful. Pastors Monty and Marty are as real as they get. Both could be a neighbor that I grill with and would have no problem having a great conversation with. The messages each week I can always relate to and me being an overly sentimental individual, many times have a few tears as it relates a little too well. They are always having fun events and I hear they cater to children as well. I hope if you are looking for a church that you will at least give SVA a try - it may change you life!

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.

That postcard led us to attend their Issaquah location (Redmond is their main campus) and the Issaquah location opened up late last year as well. It's located in the theater/stage of an elementary school, and they provide childcare services for pretty much all ages. I still remember attending the first time and I was impressed. People were so welcoming, friendly, and I felt comfortable. Pastor Ben Sigman (lead) is hilarious. I pretty much laugh at every single joke he cracks, and I enjoy how they incorporate a funny clip right at the beginning of the service, (like from a TV show) transitioning to the message and starting off with a laugh. There are many things I really enjoy about Timberlake, and I can see that they much great attention and detail to make everything come together. Rusty (Assoc. Pastor) is a great guy, and has offered to help my bf and I with some coupling services--great resources and small groups for everyone. Recently they just added a second service, in order to accommodate more people attending. Services are roughly about an hour long. Oh yes, can't forget about the yummy Krispy Kreme donuts, apples, bagels, o.j, coffee they serve :)

Now that I am back in the neighborhood, it was nice to come back.The best thing is that the senior pastor, whom I went to college with, still teaches from the Bible. They have grown along with the growth of the neighborhood. It's really nice to see some familiar faces, which demonstrates the stability of the congregation. They have 4 services, each catering to a different style of worship. The early morning Sunday service worked very well for us. Nice to be back!

Full disclosure, I'm a member here. I chose to be a member for a few reasons:…read more 1. The Pastor (Matt Farinela) teaches the Bible as it comes. No picking and choosing, no jumping around to fit an agenda, just good expository preaching. 2. Matt does a good job trying to take the Bible in context and not apply his own thoughts and feelings where they don't fit or aren't appropriate. He does this purposely and prayerfully. 3. The members endeavor to be a family for each other, and try to fellowship often (this has been difficult during COVID). The past 9 months have been very challenging for all churches with COVID, but Foundation meets in a gymnasium in a currently unoccupied building. 100 or more people can comfortably attend without hitting 25% capacity, and social distancing is abundant and easy to observe. Ultimately, I personally want you to put your faith in Jesus Christ. If God has planted you in another church, try to grow where you're planted. But if you want to hear the Gospel, be changed and grow, come here. It'll resonate in eternity.

I emailed the church to ask about it and was ignored. I am being vague but not going to slander anyone online. It is sad to see what is happening in the churches today.
