Get your commercial drivers license and eternal salvation all in one stop! My church shopping path has taken me to Eastlake, Canyon Hills, City, Four Square, and all of the other mid to large sized Christian churches on the eastside. I've always been part of a larger congregation but just wasn't able to ever really feel at home in the local churches I visited. They were all great churches with amazing people... I just didn't quite fit in. This past summer I decided to take the plunge with Imprint right as they were getting started up. If you've never been part of a church plant (which I hadn't), I can tell you that the energy and excitement makes for a whole new experience. Every person counts and everyone's talents are needed to help the church take flight. Instead of being an anonymous guy in the crowd each Sunday, I feel like I've already got a role in helping Imprint to make it in Woodinville. Darren Larson is the pastor at this church. He's a real down to earth guy and teaches with a gentleness that I think a lot of people will find appealing. His vision for the church is to be known more for our generosity as a church than anything else. With all of the politics and other noise getting mixed into different churches I appreciate the idea of simply focusing on how we can make our community a better place to live by using the example of Christ's love. Small churches aren't for everyone, but if you're looking to shake things up and try something new I feel comfortable recommending Imprint for a Sunday visit.

They work hard to pick worship songs that reflect the word as well. And my son loves the student ministries. This summer the youth group did a serving outreach weekend as their summer camp, which we absolutely loved! This is not a church to become a consumer in, but a church to become and active member in serving and being the body of Christ. We are grateful after moving up here to Washington and leaving our family and church family behind, to have found a new church family to call home up here.

This really is a community church…read more Many churches promote the idea of acceptance, forgiveness, and discipleship to churchgoers in their sermons and messages. How can I say this without being too cynical? Let's just say the execution of these ideals by church leadership often falls far short of the example of Christ to the point where their efforts appear mostly self serving justifications for an easy lifestyle. This is not the case at Lynnwood Evangelical Free Church. It really is a place where people find acceptance and forgiveness. Furthermore, it is a place for regular people to truly engage in ministry in ways that are significant. If you want polish and glitz, you won't find that there. If you want a rock star worship leader and a state of the art main-stage with a couple 20 foot wide hi-def video screen so you can see the pastor better when he speaks and special lighting, this really isn't the place where your needs are going to be filled. You will get the message of Christ and a community that supports these ideals, which is a much better thing in the end.

They sing hymns (not contemporary rock concert), they teach out of the KJV, they do not have programs and concerts, and the service is orderly. Attire was formal, I wore business casual, which seemed adequate. The service had a congregational reciting of a verse, hymns (piano and organ), and the pastor reading a chapter. They have a nursery for mothers and babies. I will be going back with my family, and maybe it will be our church family.

When my husband and I moved to the Seattle area three years ago, we were eager to find a church to…read morebe a part of. After visiting four other churches and being disappointed, we were invited to Mill Creek Foursquare. From the first service we attended, we knew we had found it (and we couldn't wait to go back!). The pastoral staff here is sound in teaching and Biblical knowledge, and they care deeply for the church community. The lead pastor, Chris Manginelli, told the congregation he loved them the first Sunday we were there. I was pleasantly surprised that he would show vulnerability like that in front of hundreds of people. Now, we are integrated in to the community and an active part of the volunteer leadership. We are so happy to call this place home! I also value how involved our church is in local and international missions, community life through small group gatherings, how we encourage and support women in leadership, social justice, and how well we love our children. Life is good here and the love of God is abundant!

(Will not reveal donor info privacy issues) They do not do fund raising for buildings they just wait until it is in the budget then fix the next thing on the list. They live in the black. Given that churches are technically a non profit charity I like a church that pursues charity work as well as being a church. They have a little food bank. They encourage and support start up charity's and donate regularly to other community charities. They help single mom's, teenagers, street people and so on. Your tithe money is passed on to various needs both regular and in emergency situations. At the end of the year once the budget has been met they give the rest as huge donations to help with needs.

I've since been to both the 10:30 a few times and their 9:00 AM a few times. Both a little different, but also the same. Good praise and worship time, great lessons, and most importantly, lots and lots of people being real. I don't do the brain-wash or the "leave your house in your will to us" stuff; I just like to go and give Him praise and glory. What a phenomenal place to do just that.

After hearing about Gateway Center Church (I guess formerly named Todays Church) at the Mariner's…read moregame, I decided to check it out for myself. The praise and worship was okay, a little loud and too long for my tastes, and I noticed that there weren't many people my age (late 30's). The offering teaching felt very "high pressure" and was off base. The preacher was intense at times and he went on for entirely too long (over an hour of just preaching). Many of the congregation members were what I can only characterize as spastic, either that or they just had way too much coffee that morning. By that I mean they were overly (fake) excited. I'm sure that the long time members that posted messages here love the church, but it's probably because they haven't been anywhere else in so long they don't know any different, I on the otherhand was a first timer, and I did not feel very welcomed. It was very clickish there and I didn't meet anyone because everyone was all caught up with everyone else. As far as it being a cult, I used to be in a christian cult for about 2 years (many years ago), and the one thing at this church that really stood out to me was that the offering teaching was taken out of context and was way off and it felt high pressure. I won't be going back to this church because I really didn't like it, I would recommend Bethany Christian Assembly, New Life Foursquare, or United Pentecostal (they are all within a few miles of Gateway) all of which I have attended and I have had much better experiences at those churches than I did at Gateway. Those churches also have incredible healings and miracles happening, but without the weird (un-biblical) doctrines, and with a much friendlier, more community oriented culture.

Our family joined the Image Church a few months since it's inception (about 15 years), so I feel…read moredistinctly qualified to honestly assess and review this church. My kids were born, raised, and baptized at the Image Church. The feeling of community that the senior pastors managed to foster among the "members" is second to none. They lead by example, with grace, and an open home. They invest into people generously without expecting anything in return. Although every ministry is operating with excellence, my favorite ministry is the Image KidZ ministry. My kids have never once asked to skip any event. From weekly Sunday services, to occasional movie nights, community events, camps, bake sales and holiday parties, my kids have cleared their schedules and mine to attend. And you know how you know if it's good? When your kids are too old to participate and still sign up to volunteer. You will find your community. You will find a family, even if you've never had one. You will find shoulders to cry on and stand on. You will find people to celebrate you, challenge you, and walk alongside your deepest valleys and highest mountains. No one claims to be perfect, far from it...the authenticity and vulnerability is yours to see and share, as you feel comfortable. But most importantly, Holy Spirit is here in the most real, precious, and powerful way. It is impossible not to see him in the genuine smiles and feel him in the warm embraces. I have matured and grown as a person, a friend, a child of God in this church family. But don't take my word for it. Come see for yourself and discover something you didn't know you were missing.
