Kirkland CHURCH

A Place Held for You

Plenty of people searching for churches in Kirkland, WA, are after something simpler than a building. They want a room where they can walk in as themselves and be welcomed.

If you live here and have quietly wondered where you fit, there is already a place for you with us. Belonging, for us, is practical. It shows up in dignity, respect, and real love for one another, whatever your background.

Every person who walks in carries a story worth hearing, and Kirkland is full of stories we would be honored to know.

Our home sits just up the road in Redmond, a short drive from anywhere in Kirkland. The distance is small, and the welcome is real. We are a diverse, multiracial, and intergenerational faith community, living like Jesus and serving as his caring hands across the Eastside.

Our lead pastor, Mark, knows firsthand what it means to cross cultures to find home. Born in Kenya to Ugandan parents, he carried his faith across continents and generations before he ever stepped behind a pulpit in the Pacific Northwest.

That journey shapes the way he leads services and interacts with the community, individuals, and families. He brings a global perspective and a deep love for people, which is part of why our congregation holds so many backgrounds in one room.

Ask anyone in our Kirkland Christian church, and you’ll hear that his teaching is grounded and easy to follow — aimed at real life over lofty theory. 

What comes through most is his warmth, a clear sense that he sees the person in front of him. When you visit, you will meet a pastor who wants to know your story, and a door that stays open to anyone taking a first step.

Our services blend heartfelt worship with teaching you can carry into your week. A typical Sunday moves through music, prayer, and a message from Scripture, with space to simply be present.

Around you, you will find people of every age and background, from young families to grandparents, worshiping side by side. The room carries an easy warmth, the kind that grows in a faith community in Kirkland that enjoys being together.

When and Where You Can Join In

We gather every Sunday at 10:30 AM, and the service runs for about an hour. You will find us at 12300 Woodinville Redmond Rd NE in Redmond, only minutes from Kirkland.

First Time? Prepare To Be Greeted and Welcomed Over a Cup of Coffee

Arrive a little early and grab a coffee on us. Stick around when the music stops, too, because some of the best moments happen over coffee in the lobby, where first-time visitors turn into familiar faces.

What You’ll Hear Us Talk About

Our beliefs are simple to say and easy to follow. You will not need a theology degree to feel at home here.

Everything Starts with Jesus

Everything we do starts with Jesus: who He is, how He loves, and how He changes ordinary, everyday life. We believe He is God, that He is with us now, and that He still speaks and leads as we learn to follow Him together.

You do not need your beliefs neatly sorted to join us. You will never be treated like a project to fix.

Everyone Has a Place

As a Christian church serving Kirkland and the wider Eastside, we hold one conviction: every person matters, and every story counts. People of every culture, background, and generation belong here, and we celebrate that mix rather than quietly tolerate it.

Expect honest teaching and plenty of room to ask questions. You can bring your doubts, your questions, and a hard week, and still find a seat that fits.

Faith grows best in real relationships. That is why we gather in person, share meals, and walk through life side by side, showing up as caring hands from Kirkland to the rest of the Eastside.

Bringing your kids along should make your Sunday simpler. While you worship, your children are learning, playing, and being loved right down the hall, looked after by people who love seeing kids discover faith.

As a family church that Kirkland parents can rely on, here is what your children can look forward to:

• Sunday Kids: A joyful, faith-filled program where children explore God’s Word, learn to pray bold prayers, and grow alongside friends their own age.

• Wiggles Play Gym: An open play gym on Wednesdays from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, where little ones burn off energy while parents connect over a snack. Wiggles pauses for the summer and returns on September 9.

By the time you head home, your kids may be the ones asking when they can come back.

If you are not quite ready to make the drive, you can still join us from your couch in Kirkland. 

Every week, we stream our worship service online, so you can get to know us before you show up in person.

Watch a Sunday or two, take in the teaching and the music, and come when the time feels right. There is no pressure and no commitment, only an open door you can step through on your own timing.

You choose the pace, and we will keep the welcome warm. Plenty of people start with us on a screen and end up in a seat.

Next Steps
