The congregation cooks and serves Sunday dinner to fixed income and unhoused neighbors every Sunday (differ groups pitch in). The wonderful Thai chef Sasha leads us and we get to be sous chefs and help with prep, cooking, and then do clean up. Love their charming choir. They do Christmas caroling.

I loved the traditional approach to the service and the traditional look of the church. In more recent years, their doctrine seems to have turned a little more from the conservative side, I don't know if it is because of the younger new pastor or they are just trying to appeal to the masses more. I had a deep respect for the former Pastor Unseth and he officiated my grandmother's funeral and christened both my sisters and myself. The appearance of the church has not changed hardly at all since I was a little girl. I do appreciate them keeping it old school in that manner.

Music Style: Modern Praise Economic Status: Middle to upper middle class Theology: Charismatic (not hyper and not mild) There's nothing like driving into the heart of the city of Seattle. It is a beautiful sight to see. I left my bible study early last night to engage upon my first church review visit. I had decided earlier that I wanted to go to Generation Church because of what I had heard previously from friends who've attended there. So in anticipation and excited I headed out at 8:20pm from Renton to drive into the heart of Seattle to hopefully see Pastor Judah preach at the 9pm service in the U-District. As I drove up I-5 I looked up at the sparkling towers of the Seattle skyline in awe and appreciation as I typically do when I go by downtown. My heart is definitely for this city. Oh how I pray that all those people in the high places of downtown would bow before the Lord Jesus Christ and worship him in spirit and truth! Minutes after passing downtown Seattle I near the exit for the University of Washington on 45th street. Heading north on I-5, the view to the right is of the entire UW campus sprawled out in all it's glory. Being a UW alum, this brings back many fond memories. I arrived at the Kane Hall parking lot at around 8:40pm. I drove up to the parking attendant and asked if the parking was free. She replied that parking was free at 9pm but that I could park and wait until 8:50 and I'd be okay. After I parked I began to feel excited and nervous at the same time. I was looking forward to this and yet, there is this fear that I have of meeting new people. So I prayed to God that he might take that fear away. I got out of the car but there was no strong sense that anything churchy was going on. I saw a few parked cars with young asian women likely waiting until it was 9pm for the parking to be free. Perhaps they were there for church as well. I briskly marched off in the direction I thought the exit was from the underground garage. Upon finding the stairs, I bolted up to the ground level of Red Square. Looking across at Kane Hall, it looked pretty dead. It seemed as there wasn't any church going on at all! I mosied on over to Kane and walked around for a minute until I was satisfied that my suspicions were confirmed. They must have cancelled the service! I walked around campus for a bit until I found a computer lab that had internet access. I googled up generation church to check the location again to see if I got it right. I got it wrong. Apparently the sight mentioned Kane Hall only to point people to the garage with free parking. The actual service was held several blocks away. At this point it was about 9:15, so I hustled over the correct location not wanting to miss any of the worship music. As I arrived, being late, I didn't have too much time to survey the exterior of the building, but I definitely sensed that church was going. The building as far as I could tell was squarish with a flat roof. It looked a bit churchy as it does have stained glass windows. As I walked up the steps to the entrance I was greeted warmly by the team of greeters outside the door. As I entered in, there was a lady standing behind a couple of tables with various books and materials laid out. She also greeted me and asked me a couple questions. I proceeded to following the music coming from my left into the back of the sanctuary where I was again greeted warmly by the ushers. I looked out into the audience and saw 300 to 350 or so mostly young, white, good-looking, and likely well-to-do persons. I'd say the bulk of the people fell in the age range from 16 to 24. The finish of the sanctuary was done very well. The style is greco-roman, with fresh greenish paint on the walls highlighted by crisp white molding and trim. In the front they've got a decent-sized stage with four flat-screens up front, two smaller ones towards the middle and two larger ones to the left and right of those. The stage was well lit with a bank of stage lights overhead and also from the side walls. Lining the top of the walls were some more lights that creating a "glow effect" toward the top of the walls that appeared to change colors...
