About Us:
We are a living, breathing, growing, welcoming, progressive Christian community right in the heart of Seattle's Alki beach neighborhood. We believe that faith is a journey, not a destination, and we are blessed to share the journey with each other. We are 90-somethings and 20-somethings, toddlers and infants, and a lot of us somewhere in between. We are single, married and partnered; introverted and extroverted; LGBTQ+, cis, hetero and non-binary. All are welcome here! We don't believe Christianity is the only way, but it's the way we've been called to follow, and we are trying to live it with as much integrity and joy as we can. We are a church where Jesus the healer meets Jesus the revolutionary, and where together, we grow a just and peaceful world.
The church has embarked on a “future story” to expand our connection with other faith communities by finding ways to share our space and experiences. We envision the music program as an essential element of this transformation through community offerings and outreach.
