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/

We visited at least 12 churches looking for the right mix of strong biblical teaching, a vibrant children's program, and an energizing music. We selected Hope Fellowship as our home church.

The church has an AWANA children's program offered on Thursday evenings, which was very important to me. The music provided by the worship team is great! I would definitely recommend Hope Fellowship as a great Bible teaching church.

Some don't have kids. This place was most uncomfortable. People need to remember that back when Jesus was alive it was a simpler time. If your poor steer clear of this church. I didn't like it.

We came to google searching for a church for our growing family and found Eastside. 6 years later…read morewe are still here! Eastside has been a home and a shelter during the craziness over the pandemic and the aftermath. We have found a home based and focused on Jesus, led with love by the very humble and caring pastors: Russ and Ana. Tracy is the current and best pastor my kids have ever had! She personally knows and cares for them and her program and ministry is curated to really teach our kids in the ways of the Lord! The World Cafe on site not only serves up delicious drinks, you are also warmly welcomed each morning by Danielle who currently runs it. She always gifts a drink to newcomers If you aren't convinced yet.... They use all of their profits (including tips) for missions! The love for their community is felt the minute you walk in! The greaters are authentic, the room reflects the growing diversity in Bothell, and the pastor always focus on unity and inclusion for everyone. For example, during the service they offer LIVE Spanish interpretation for our Latinx community. And just this past February we enjoyed a wonderful Black History month full of fellowship. Come check out Eastside! And find me after service

Okay, it breaks my heart to finally need to write this. My wife and I attended Blue Sky for almost…read more16 years, I was baptized there, I served there, heck I even helped do facility maintenance for free since I had the skill and tools. The people here are great people don't get me wrong. I previously had this as a 5-star review. Over the course of the years Blue Sky has sent church plant after church plant, I'm not opposed to it and know it can help spread the gospel. My issue though comes from how fast they were to do this. With every church plant sent, the church [Blue Sky] sent some its strongest leaders as well as small group leaders. Back in 2012 it would be common to see small groups growing so much that you would generally have between 3-5 small group multiplications (making two groups from one large group) a month. Over the past 6 years Blue Sky has sent 6 church plants around the country, with one being in Taiwan and one most recently in Reading, England. These 6 multiplications have stripped Blue Sky of the strong leadership faster than they could grow. Now it is common to see between 2-4 small group multiplications a year. The small group leaders aren't strong enough yet, they were forced into these roles early on as the network leader, Steve Morgan became overly obsessed with church planting. Steve cares more for sending more church plants than he does making sure his congregation in each church has time to rebuild and grow. I have been on the verge of leaving for the last 2-3 years just due to a stalemate in growth, heck even small group discussions didn't seem fun, if anything they were more a waste of my time and money, yes money as I have a child I had to put in their child care and pay $15 a week for. I never understood once Blue Sky paid off their building entirely why they cannot help support families and pay for the childcare or at least help assist. The reason we left: Back in October 2021 during one of the team meetings (one Sunday a month that people who serve/volunteer in the church can meet), a small blurb was mentioned about not believing what is being said online. My wife and I had no idea what he, Krsh, lead pastor now at Blue Sky, was referring to. A week later my wife found this website "LeavingTheNetwork" which talked a lot about problems within the network. When I started reading through many of these I will admit I blew them off as just attacks upon the church from people who don't like the way the network is run since no pastor there has gone through seminary nor even counseling to help lead the church. These guys are raised up from the church itself, generally young 20s fresh out of college waiting to start their career until God calls them (typically Steve and pastors would pick these people and tell them) to lead, then they give up their career and work for the church. After Christmas 2021 more stories started coming out on the website, but this time from people who I knew and looked highly upon as they were once leaders of some sort or another in the church and now exposing it. I vaguely remember my old small group leader telling me not to read any of the website and not to believe it (this was at Christmas). Two months later, in February my wife and I finally decided to pull the plug from Blue Sky and the network. We invited our old small group leaders over for dinner (the ones who told us not to read or listen to the website) to break the news to them, but they beat us to the punch and informed us that they were leaving due to the network issues, we were totally blown away and lead to a great conversation. Fast forward a few months until now, I've stayed quiet on this as I didn't really want to go out and inform everyone as the information is out there, but after the latest news last Friday, made from one of the past overseers who had to hold onto this knowledge for years. Steve Morgan, the main leader of the entire church network, back in 1986 while he was a Youth Leader for a Mormon church, at 22 years old committed "forced sodomy" with a 15 year old boy. The LeavingTheNetwork website has come across the scanned files from the court and it reads the committed act is 'forced sodomy on a minor'. I read the entire court document, to me it is very disturbing. Steve kept this a secret with only a few leaders in the church until 2019 when he told all leaders what had happened. Now I am not sure what he "told" them but what I can say is that last Sunday at Blue Sky (I heard from others who still go there) that during the morning announcements they said that there has been sexual misconduct that has come up in regards to the main leader, Steve Morgan, and that more will be addressed at the Team meeting later that night. He also mentioned that this Team meeting is open to all. I got word that on Sunday night, Krsh had addressed this as Steve had consensual sexual activity with a boy in their late teens. Krsh lied, I cannot stay silent any longer!
