They have a nursery for tots under 3 while preschoolers and older start out with the adults then can go to Sunday School if they like. There is absolutely no dress code so it's just very comfortable.

Reading the mission statement on the website, I can see the members living out their faith that they have a "spiritual home" in Christ and in each other. They appreciate both the Old-the church has been around for 50 years!-and the New-Crossroads is a diverse neighborhood for Bellevue newcomers. Super convenient location accessible by public transit and close to Crossroads Mall so I can walk and run errands or grab a bite after church. Oh, on the premise the church hosts a taco truck, a family-run business, which gives the vibe of an easy gathering place for church attendees or just "regular folk". Kind of cool that the service/sermon is translated in real-time via a software program so people can follow along in a non-English language on an iPad they provide. This helps when I want to worship with my parents. In addition to the coffee hour after service, it's easy to meet new people or bring friends to the monthly congregational lunch. I like the Theology On Tap (beer, wine or water) discussions where I got to know people better in contemporary "tough" topics with no easy answers like "is violence ever justified?"

We have found the church welcoming to a variety of different people, from young to old and representative of lots of different facets of our community. We commute to church from Snoqualmie because we simply feel at home here. There are strong children's, middle-school and teen programs, as well as small groups, men's and women's bible studies, fun gatherings like "theology on tap", programs for seniors, people who are grieving, and much more. There is also a strong heart for mission at SPC, with long-term commitments to help in Africa and Guatemala, knitting for mission, and local mission opportunities in Washington state, to name a few. Oh, and the worship music is fantastic!

Music during worship is professionally played by a number of skilled musicians that inspire, but not so loud that it blows out the speakers like some other churches.

AWARD FOR MOST PENITENT 3 1/2 stars would be more accurate…read more I attended Rain City Church while it was still meeting at Odle Middle School a few years back. I received a flyer in the mail promoting a series of upcoming sermons promoting a theme of reconciliation, in which this church apologized for historical sins commonly committed by Christians in general against non-Christians (and even other Christians), not necessarily just by members of this congregation. I thought this was a breath of fresh air! Included among the topics were it's apologies for homophobia, sexism, racism, bible-thumping, "our church is the one true church", etc.. THE NICE THINGS The pastor's sermons were very lively and uplifting! They were also full of humor(probably an understatement!), which I like. Also, the people there were friendly and the family-friendly atmosphere was very informal, which I also like. And if I remember right, they even had a special play area for kids. They also had yummy snacks to eat after church was over, which I also liked! BUT THE MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD They played "Christian rock music", which is OK with me, but it was WAY TOO LOUD! I told members, including the pastor, about that, but they just did not understand that the number of decibels they crank up their music is enough to damage people's hearing over time. Needless to say, almost all of the adults were in their 20s or 30s. I pray they lower the volume at least for their kids sake. THE OVERLOOKED "800 POUND GORILLA" Regarding the reconciliation theme of their sermons,they missed the "800 pound gorilla in the room", namely the teaching of eternal hell, which was historically used to frighten people into becoming Christians. Although none of the sermons I attended tried to scare people with the threat of hell, they did have at least one free book out on their literature table promoting that teaching. It is not an exaggeration to say that this doctrine of "eternal hell" can and does traumatize people for life. People have been known to be committed to psychiatric institutions because of it! I told the pastor about this. Although he was genial about it, apparently this policy will not change either. IN CONCLUSION Nevertheless, I must give this congregation serious kudos for apologizing for many of the historical sins of Christianity(though unfortunately, hell was not one of them) in a way that I have never witnessed any other congregation (or denomination) do, which was very open and forthright! If it were not for the excessively loud music and the "800 pound gorilla", I might well have continued to attend this church. In any case, those were the only two things that prevented me from giving them a five star rating.

I appreciate the people of Mountain Ridge a great deal. They are down to earth, thoughtful,…read moreintelligent, and giving. I come away from services with things to think about, issues to ponder perhaps differently than I had been to that point, a depth or nuance of perspective on something I may have thought I already knew but didn't, and regular challenges to put faith into practice day by day where it makes a difference in action and isn't just a passive belief system. This church has people who are faithful and understand faithfulness. A lot of people think a lot of other things matter so much when it comes to church and what church is for and what the definition of a "successful" church is and how to turn church into what "we" may want, but Mountain Ridge isn't about a lot of these other things. We are about faithfulness to God. To what He asks of us. And to how to best serve others. This church's people try to keep its core purposes simple and undistracted, have for decades now, which I respect. I appreciate that there are honorable, thinking, and thoughtful people here who are doing their best to live out being faithful to God and to loving one's neighbors faithfully and well. I have been with this church since its beginning. I have been amazed at all God has done. How God has provided beyond what we could have imagined. How we are led over and over again to serve one another and our community, to love bigger and courageously, not small-mindedly and self-protectively, and to be thinkers and thoughtful in our faith. God has been ever present here. So many stories I could tell of his incredible faithfulness to us, his presence, his guidance, his provision. Just really thankful for being able to be a part of this church for so long and witness all God wanted to do here over the last two decades, and then some. God has led it. He has gone before it and will go after it. I have grown in my faith and as a person because of being a faithful part of Mountain Ridge. I have been changed by it. Nothing else in life challenges me more than this faith. Challenges me to serve others when I feel like serving myself. Challenges me to love people who are unlike myself. Challenges me to make effort to understand. Challenges me to be sacrificial. Challenges me to forgive. Nothing else challenges me to be my best self and give of my best to others more than this faith. Nothing. Mountain Ridge Community Church is about these kinds of core things. Not much else. And that's something I will always appreciate about the people and ministry here.
