First Congregational Church of Bellingham believes our Creator loves and accepts each of us just as we were created -- no matter our gender identity, race, ethnicity, economic or social status, or sexual orientation.  They also recognize that the wider church has not always followed Christ's example of radical love and hospitality to all -- welcoming all people into the full life and rites of the church community including membership, communion, and marriage. No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, YOU REALLY ARE WELCOME HERE!

The kids had a performance, we went to church that day and never really looked back. We really really enjoy this church. And the pastors and just the community they offer. If your are looking for a church, like we were, this is for sure a church that you should look into. Go check them out on a Sunday at 10:45am. I bet you will find it just might be the church community for you! The people here have been kind, accepting and treat you like family from day one. It's a great feeling walking in those doors on a Sunday!! My kids, 6&7, they love it! I never have to beg them to go! They actually ask me when the next church is!! Thank you for being such a welcoming place!

I found in St Paul's my spiritual home, finally. I have met diverse folks at services, classes, meetings, potlucks and of course at coffee hour. I encourage anyone to give it a try. Services are at 7:45 am/9 am/10:30 am with each respective service being longer and more "involved". Eucharist is offered at every service. I'll be at the 10:30...ask around for KJ and introduce yourself! Cheers!

Sometimes if the music leaders are off and someone else leads, then it is not as good but that is rare. The pastor is down to earth, real and not afraid to say the truth.

If you are looking for a new church, then I recommend checking out NCCTK.

Went to a smaller church at first that we liked but still felt like something was missing. I signed up for a bible study here and decided to check out a service one day. Been going here strong 7 months now. Its everything I have hoped for in a Church and it reminds me a lot of the church I attended back in my hometown. The pastor and other staff are so awesome, they make me laugh and he and everyone else who speaks is just so real there not just teaching they are not afraid to share their flaws and relate to us. I have loved every sermon and series so far. Never left disappointed. I love the worship team. The women's ministries are great. And they have tons of other small groups you can join. They even have a Sunday evening service for people who work weekends. And if you are sick and can't attend church for some reason you can watch it live online.

Language does not seem to be an issue as English language is the primary with occasional Greek. Priest seems very with it and connects very well with people from what I see. Any Christian from another sect would benefit from attending at least one Sunday Liturgy in their lifetime. It is a time capsule of the original Christian Byzantine worship and church iconography. In short, it's Christianity that is unchanged since the apostles. We are planning on attending again and are going to visit another Orthodox church this week in Whatcom County that is much closer to our home in Lynden.

With hopes of rekindling my Greek vacation from July, my husband and I attended the Greek Festival…read moreup at St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church in Bellingham, WA this weekend. Parking was easy, that was a blessing. We entered the courtyard and found that there were several tents set up which included. a dinner tent, a gyro tent, a pastry tent, coffee tent, and bookstore tent, loukumades tent, along with one additional tenant for music which by the way way too loud! (Couldn't even carry on a conversation with my husband) We ordered pork gyro, beef gyro and a pork souvlaki. The dinner menu while it appeared to be filling didn't look appealing.There were not enough food choices the food we had was a bit lackluster. The tsatziki was really runny and soaked into the pita bread. There were onions, no cucumbers and literally a ton of dill. Tsatziki should be rich and creamy with bits of cucumber, garlic, and a dash of dill. I will say the parishioners who made the pastries did redeem themselves with their cookies, baklava and various other items. This is why I gave the festival 3 stars. I traveled from North Seattle and the pastries alone were worth the trip. I find it so interesting whenever the Greek Churches in Washington have a Greek festival the number one thing they serve is gyros. Since it's only been a few months since I've been to Greece I'm pretty familiar with what the cafes and food establishments are serving. While gyros are sold, as a street food, it is not as common as you think. There are things you can get which are so much better. Why can't the groups in the Pacific Northwest think out-of-the-box. How about serving grilled octopus, keftetes, stuffed tomatoes and creamy rich tsatziki. People would then get a true insight of what Greek food is really like! I have grown to love Greek food and get very disappointed when done badly. I experienced my first Greek Festival in Portland at Holy Trinity. I would recommend St. Sophia reach out to Holy Trinity Greek Festival Organizers for some advice on offerings and recipes. I would love to go back next year if the food could be revamped. Wishing you success!!!

It was really enjoyable, everyone is very polite to one another and really makes me feel involved in a community. The Youth-Group leaders are absolutely hilarious and have some fantastic commentaries.

The second time visiting it was a free pancake night which was delicious, and following that there was some fun activities and games, and at the end there was tug-of-war. Overall great fun community here, very inviting, and I'll definitely be coming here for a service sometime soon.
