Christian Church

We are a Bible-based church. Scripture sits at the foundation of everything we teach. We hold all sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as the full and final authority, and we read them expecting God to speak.

We believe that a truth you cannot understand cannot change you, so we teach in plain language. We wrestle with the hard parts too, and honest questions are welcome here. 

The Bible is where we test what we hear and settle what we believe (2 Timothy 3:16-17). It all points in one direction: people who slowly grow to emulate Jesus’s example.

Saved by Grace

None of us can earn our way to God by being good enough. For anyone worn out by trying, that is very good news. Salvation comes as a free gift of grace, received through faith in what Jesus finished on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace is the front door and the whole house.

We’ve all fallen short at some point. Yet the same open door stands in front of each of us. 

You do not have to clean up first to walk through it. Skeptical or unsure, you are still welcome to come. 

Made for Community

None of us are at our best alone. Unity with Christ makes every believer part of one body (Acts 2:42). In practice, that means shared meals, midweek groups, and people who notice when you go quiet. Hit a crisis, and you should never face it by yourself. Someone will bring a meal. Someone will sit with you.

We are one small part of the wider Eastside Christian community. We stand alongside other churches here, glad for the company. 

As a local Christian church, our doors are wide, and the welcome is real.

Join our service every Sunday at 10:30 AM and find your place with us.

Belief that stays in your head is only half the story. After all, as said in the Word:

“Faith without works is dead.” 

Believing this, we as a Christian community want to be the hands and feet of Jesus in practical ways, near and far. For us, mission starts with listening long before it becomes doing. So, we put ours to work in two places.

Faith for Everyday Life

Following Jesus should change your Monday as much as your Sunday. We carry faith into the places most people never call spiritual: the school pickup line, the team meeting, the hard talk with a neighbor. Some days that means patience in 520 traffic. Other days, it’s grace with a coworker who tests you. It can even mean forgiving someone who has not earned it.

Loving God and loving people is slow, unglamorous work. Nobody here has mastered it, and, for us, that’s ok. 

Grace meets you in the middle of a normal week, right where you live.

Serving the Eastside

Close to home, we try to be a local Christian church our neighbors can point to. We partner with organizations already doing good work on the Eastside, then show up with practical help: the kind you can eat, live in, and count on. 

These are real partners, not logos on a slide. Here is some of our local work right now:

• Hopelink and Unlocked Ministry: Food, support, and dignity for families under pressure

• Our Benevolence Team: Rent help and meals for people in a hard stretch

• Christmas gifts for youth in detention: Showing up for kids the world tends to forget

None of it makes headlines. We like it that way. We would rather be known by the people we have quietly helped.

A Global Family

Our reach does not stop at the county line. We partner with International Child Care Ministries to support kids in more than 40 countries through school, health, and daily care. 

Right now, our focus is Kenya, where Pastor Mark’s own story began. This past year, our team ran a dental clinic in Kibera, one of the country’s largest informal settlements. We cared for more than two hundred people in a few days (Acts 1:8).

We go as equals and friends, there to learn and worship as much as to serve. The clinic lasted one week. The friendships have lasted years. We are already praying toward our next trip in 2028.

Ministries and Programs

A church is only as real as its ordinary weeks. Between Sundays, most of our lives together happen in smaller rooms, around tables, and out in the neighborhood. Here are a some of the ways people plug in:

Red-Wood Kids

Kids are never an afterthought here. Red-Wood Kids runs every Sunday during the 10:30 service, with classes from nursery through eighth grade. Children dig into God’s Word, pray bold prayers, and make a few friends over snacks and crafts. Screened volunteers and a secure check-in let parents worship with their minds at ease.

Wiggles at the Waterfall

Weekday mornings run long when you have little ones at home. Every Wednesday from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, our gym opens for Wiggles at the Waterfall, a free open-play morning for toddlers and their grown-ups. The kids burn off energy while parents grab coffee and a little adult conversation. Wiggles takes a summer break and returns on September 9.

Small Groups

Sunday seating only gets you so close to people. Small groups meet through the week in homes and coffee shops, where faith turns personal, and friendships have room to grow. Some dig into a book of the Bible, others gather around a shared season of life, and a few simply share a meal. 

Whenever you are ready, we can help you find a group that fits.

Serving Teams

Some of the best friendships here started on a serving team. Serving is a simple way to get involved, meet people, and put your gifts to work, from welcoming newcomers to running sound to caring for the kids. 

There’s no experience or title required. Come ready to help, and we will find your spot.

‍

The best way to know a church is to stand in the room. Here is the real invitation: come see for yourself this Sunday.

We gather at 10:30 AM on our Redmond campus for about an hour of live music, an honest message, and a room full of people who felt like strangers once too. Come as you are. The kids have a space of their own, and no one will make you introduce yourself.

Faith was meant to be shared. Whenever you are ready, our Eastside Christian community will be glad to meet you.

Denomination decides very little here. The tradition you carry, or the absence of one, will not determine whether you belong in this room.

What holds us together is Jesus, Scripture, and a real willingness to sit beside people who see secondary things differently.

There’s a place for you here, no matter your story or where you are in your spiritual journey. 

Worship starts at 10:30 AM at 12300 Woodinville-Redmond Road NE. Join us this Sunday and find your community with us.
