I love this place! The staff are always so warm and friendly! I started attending this church when…read moreI moved back to Tacoma in 2004 and was super impressed! They have a lot of compassion for the less-fortunate, and even serve free hot meals on Mondays. The really show they care. Not just a hot meal, but they offer a small food bank, free bread, and even a clothing bank! I love their bands they use! What blew me away was how awesome their teen band was! They are very, very impressive and they sing great too! They rotate different Pastors so you don't get the same one every week. I like that sometimes. But all of them are great! And funny sometimes! This church gets packed, so you might want to show up early if you want to be assured a parking spot or a seat. The cool thing is that if you are here for the first time, like maybe to check it out, they have visitor parking for first-timers! The only thing I used to think (and joke about) was it seemed they had "spies" who kept watch on the visitor spots so they could be sure to welcome them at the door! Nope, I was wrong... they do this to EVERYONE! You WILL feel welcomed and loved at Rainier View! They also have a lot of small groups, like a men's group, women's group, youth group, recovery group and even a singles group! Something for everyone! Not a lot more I can say about Rainier View except that you WILL love this church! By the way, they sing contemporary praise songs NOT out of hymnals, and NO speaking in tongues here (a concern of mine and I don't like hearing) so I really feel comfortable here! They offer free coffee and cookies in the foyer, but for those who desire more, they even have an espresso bar right there in the lobby! Oh my gosh! Back in 2006 I was diagnosed with a very major illness requiring me to stop working and have surgery within a month! It was an ER doctor who faxed a stop work order to my employer! Well, needless to say, I suddenly had no income and had no way to pay my upcoming rent nor my phone and power bills. I was forced to contact LOVE Inc, who called me saying they found a church who was going to pay 2 months of my power bill PLUS one month of my rent. But when they told me it was Rainier View, I almost started crying. This was my church, but they didn't know me because I've always been one of those quiet ones who tend to sit alone in the back row. I personally went in as soon as I was back on my feet after recovering from my surgery and thanked them and introduced myself as the person they helped. It was so nice of them, and I felt a need to thank them. The Lord certainly made sure there was a church big enough to fit all those who want to worship Him, then He blessed them all with very warm and loving hearts. God Bless you, RVCC! Here is their website so you can check them out yourself! http://www.rainierview.org/index.html

Right away I was invited to coffee with women my age. Then I was invited to bible study. Later I attended, Come Thirsty, a women's worship evening that happens the first Friday of each month. I joined the "band" and began praising through music. This church has become my extended family. We laugh and cry together. We encourage and pray for each other. Weather serving our community in Gig Harbor or serving in another country, the love of God shows here. Join us!

My husband and I made a decision to come back and have been attending HCC for over a year, we have even become members. What we like about Harbor Covenant is that church reaches out side of it's walls into the community. There is something for everyone no matter what age you are. Both my husband I have grown in our walks aka relationship with God since we've started attending this church. We like the community here and plan to stay for a long time.

Very disappointed in CFAN today. Literally everyone in there wasn't wearing their masks and…read moreabsolutely no social distancing. There was probably over 60 people and all seated within a 20 foot radius. Also, We arrived at 9am because their website says service starts at 9, and instead we waited till 10am for service to start. Music was extremely loud and lasted almost 45 minutes. Standing so long got us tired very quickly. People then sat literally right next to us (less than a foot away) with their being probably 100 empty seats and they decided not to wear a mask either, needless to say, we left and aren't coming back.

I decided I wanted to show people who don't go to New Life how great it is! (; I think I started coming to NLC around end of summer-ish. I grew up going to church in Tacoma basically my whole life which means I have heard of NLC but always went somewhere else. I thought I would see a lot of familiar faces (this is after I got back from my 1.2 years in California). Not really... surprisingly. Wow it has been almost half a year already and I am so thankful for all the people I have met here. I know it was God who placed me at NLC after I felt alone and abandoned(; I grew closer to Christ with the help of my lovely friends at church! I was so happy to see how bright everyone was shining from their love for God. I really like the pastor's sermons too! I grew up listening to sermons.. that went through one ear out the other. But here, every Sunday I whip out my phone and take some meaningful notes. Later throughout that week or month, I scroll through and I think, "oh wow! That's perfect timing to read this message again". To whomever sees this from New Life Church, I just want to thank you all for making me feel welcome and at home(;

It is a bit…read moreof a drive but I will definitely make that drive to hear the bible shared in such a direct and meaningful manner. The manner in which the congregation reflect Jesus's nature is very motivating to be a better person and really brings pride to the term Christian. Also this is a beautiful setting for a wedding very warm and home like, there is a big screen to project pictures, good sound system and enough room for a desent sized group. I highly reccomend giving this place a shot no matter who you are or what you believe you won't regret it.

We were invited for a special Christmas music presentation with the kids' choir. The crowd was…read moremostly business casual to dressy and there were plenty of seats and warm welcomes to us. Everyone affiliated with the church seemed to be genuinely thrilled to be there and interact with each other. The kids' choirs were robust, full of talented, engaged kids, and entertaining. The church appears to have extensive facilities and staff volunteers for the kids' program and a vibrant program of activities for men, women, kids, seniors, etc. Easy to find with available parking. Huge main church room with great music amplification, lighting, and AV equipment. There's also a sort of fellowship hall/coffee room for post-service meet and greets, but we didn't stay for that part. Since this was a special presentation and service, I am not too aware of the specific focus or views of this church, pastor, and elders. They do have a website that explains some of this however. http://www.gccauburn.net/
