Bethany Community Church

Bethany Community Church is a rare find, especially in Seattle. They make every effort to ensure everyone, truly everyone, feels welcome and accepted. The sermons go deep into scripture and their ministries reflect a sincere commitment to discipleship. The center justice and reconciliation in everything they do. Uniquely, they have a thriving Wilderness ministry which brings people out into nature to experience God, with a host of enthusiastic and experienced volunteers. As a Wilderness Ministry leader myself, I am very impressed with how impactful this ministry is on the people who participate. For anyone seeking hope or healing, they will find it at Bethany.

I was praying to find a church that; 1) was near me, and 2) one that had amazing ministry. When I came on Sunday to see the church and see if it was where I fit in. God talked to me and told me you found your home in me, rejoice and those will see Him in all of His grace and mercy.

This has been a wonderful community to be a part of for the past nearly five years. Kind, compassionate, loving and selfless leaders and members. The work they are doing in the seattle community for neighbors of all walks of life is tremendous. Grateful for the impact they are having in the lives of so many, by following the teachings of Jesus and inspiring us to do the same.

A beautiful church Fantastic singing and purposeful messages Friendly people We love attending 11 am service whenever we visit Seattle

I wish they would do carpooling or provide some kind of transportation support for their patrons. I basically cannot leave my house (located across the street) on Sunday mornings or any other time they have an event or I won’t be able to find parking near my house. I left this morning and then had to spend 15 minutes looking for parking and parked like 3 blocks away from my house because their patrons completely occupy all the residential street parking in the vicinity.

God wants to give us eternal life. God is most holy, abundant Life! Sermon was on God's Grace mingled with God's Truth. Simple acceptance of Jesus. HE wants us to accept HIM and he will remove our Sin, our resistance. Life giving to live eternal with GOD

Isn't a church supposed to make you feel welcome? Shouldn’t its congregants and clergy be an example of empathy and compassion? Not this church! Not at all! When the community across the street was having maintenance done, displacing many residents from their usual places to park, this church threatened to tow anyone who parked in their large nearly vacant lot. The next day, when they realized the maintenance was going to take a few days, they showed their true colors even more, by charging their neighbors to park in their large spacious almost empty parking lot. Pretty sure this is not what Jesus would do.. As a matter of fact, I would be embarrassed to be a member of a church, who threatens and then exploits their neighbors in their time of need. Think we should all be praying for this Congregation, that they one day truly understand, Gods grace is not for sale.

Great church, friendly and welcoming. Has a lot of program that you can join to serve the community and bring glory to Him.
