Christmas 2025 Church Guide: Best 15 Churches Near You Bellingham,WA

Haley Humenik I love this church so much. They are my family and my home. I started attending GCB shortly after moving to Bellingham at the beginning of 2018 and I fell in love with the church my very first visit. Pastor Dax is an awesome teacher who does a great job of walking through the text and explaining everything in a way that is easy to understand and always ties back to the Gospel. The community is always growing and improving with Bible studies, childrens ministry, classes, retreats, etc.

Christopher Gayal This was the church we baptized all our family. They welcomed us.

Ozaki Todd Mayumi (尾崎真由美) This is amazing Christian church and people here are so humble and dedicated to Jesus’s mission. I was so impressed by the pastor’s speech

Roguegunn Works We went for the yearly plant sale. Super fun with plenty to choose from! Loaded the car full. Besides that, the front if the church has a very nice timber frame. We are not members of the church itself, but people always seem to be smiling and are very curious when coming and going!

Jack Crandell A great church with fantastic services. Pastor Grant and the other pastors are great speakers. The church does great community outreach projects, helping the community and bringing comfort to individuals.

Nicole Rae Christ the king has been my home church for many years. I was even baptized there about 25 years ago. I recently found love with someone Ive known for many years. We been going to this church faithfully together since. Today my boyfriend and I showed up 20 minutes early and as we were getting our second cup of tea my boyfriends abuser walked in an which he has a no contact order against. The women went to the church for protection playing victim role and the church staff escorted her and sat her near pastor Grant. My boyfriend called police when we saw she didnt leave the church. The church should never have intervened. This momen his highly abusive and dangerous. So dangerous she even fooled the church. I am so disappointed with how we were treated as well as so disheartened. I will never come back and christ the king bellingham and they just lost 2 faithful members. Very sad. Im so let down that my church acted in this manner.

Melinda Mahoney I LOVE this community! The Bridge is made up of so many awesome people that make you feel known and loved from the get go. Sunday mornings have a casual feel that I find refreshing. You dont have to worry about what to wear and when to stand up/sit down. Its simply a time when people from all backgrounds come together to learn more about the Bible and encourage one another as we all strive to be more like Jesus. Outside of Sunday morning service, there are a lot of opportunities to get to know people, engage in fun outings, and serve the Bellingham community.

Colleen Illman The Bridge is located right in the heart of downtown Bellingham. A much needed place to have a light on a hill! Pastor JJ has relevant and sound teaching, they provide wonderful small groups and gatherings, good-hearted staff, and offer a welcoming environment to hear the Word of God. I highly recommend The Bridge!

Gregory Zschomler Great church! Pastor Bob gave one of the best sermons Ive ever heard. Music was fantastic! If I lived in Bellingham this is where I would go to church.

Jarrod Fenner They help people find and follow Jesus. The message is great, the music is uplifting, and the people are friendly. They have an excellent childrens ministry.

Teresa Christison Love this church. We have several family members and friends who attend. Weekly communion, great message, friendly people

Jenelle Redix God brought me to New Song to save my life, and my spirit. Through this church I have found my identity in Christ. I have found a home. I have found community. I am saved. It couldnt have been any other church. It was meant to be New Song. God knew I needed to walk into this church. Whatever Walk of Life youre on, whatever sins you have committed, wherever youre at in your life mentally emotionally physically and spiritually, you will be welcomed at New Song. I felt that as soon as I walked in. Ive been coming to New Song for just over a year now. It was the best decision Ive ever made. If youre reading this and your questioning whether or not you should give New Song a try, Just do it. Dont waste any more time. Come find Jesus.

Tre Cherochak Everything is amazing here except one small thing, the worship music is way to loud. If you look around the audience many people are even plugging their ears. It was amazing singing and they are really really good. But I think the volume over and extended period of time could cause some people to not go and I would be bummed to think that would be a reason some folks might not go. And even for myself I enjoy loud music, but dang that was super loud. Felt like a concert and it was to loud for me. Great music though, just turn everyone down a tiny bit and it would be perfect!

Kim T My husband and I have been members for the last two years. We really love it. The staff is great and the congregation is very welcoming and multi-generational. The worship service is uplifting and the adult education, spiritual formation initiatives and small groups are great too.

Jennie Groen This church has become like true family to us. We have been attending for about 9 years and Ive seen so much growth in my own walk with the Lord, my familys too. Solid biblical teaching in grace and truth. Pastor Jeremy and the elders are so intentional and lead the congregation well. It is exciting to go to church every Sunday and learn from Gods word through expository preaching. What a blessing this church has been! So friendly, loving, graceful, and real. Come as you are, but dont expect to stay that way! There is a true hunger for the word of God that is so beautiful!

Brian Gregory Eight years ago I moved into a neighborhood near Good Shepherd Bible Church and soon after the Holy Spirit moved me to attend church once again after many years. I thought I would begin with then-named Good Shepherd Community Church as it was the closest church to my house, and I never looked back. You will experience solid, well-researched, Christ-centered expositional preaching from Pastor Jeremy Pickens and will feel a warm, welcoming embrace from the congregation. Pastor Jeremy has a genuine love for the Lord and goes out of his way to get to know each and every person he meets at the church. Through his sermons he will frequently emphasize how important it is to realize both the love of God AND the wrath of God, which are not mutually exclusive! Come as you are, but you won’t be staying as you are for long!

Sebastian Shakespeare Beautiful church, warm and welcoming parishioners, great sounding choir. Issues with rotating priests instead of a regular pastor isnt ideal, but the Catholic Church is a bit more concerned about the lack of priests and having one available for Mass and other services. Seattles church is a big hindrance!

Janine Richardson We were there for a beautiful Thanksgiving meal offered by volunteers. Beautiful people. This church offers the gymnasium for meals to our community.

Tom Robbins A warm, friendly place.

Holly van Hofwegen Great church! Pastor Nate does a wonderful job of preaching sound doctrine and Biblical truths. The church is welcoming, kind and filled with grace. Highly recommend if youre looking for a church with solid teaching.

Orlando bloom I really dont know what to say about this church. I have been there for multiple gatherings and always feel like I am not accepted by the epople around me. Frankly, the church is beautiful. Inside and out, but the people, arent.

Buffy Wells I find this church very welcoming. They’re not pushy. They’re not distant, they’re just right. I like the vibe.

Haley Humenik My very first visit to this church I was welcomed in like family. I got invited to a BBQ and that day found a discipleship mentor. Ive felt connected to this church since then. I had been seeking Christian community and have been incredibly blessed in the way at Redeemer. I was also looking for a church that wasnt afraid to face the reality of sin. I was so impressed that they were going through Proverbs when I first came. I have felt that each speaker has tackled the beauty of Gods law and the wonder of Gods grace with amazing eloquence. God is most certainly working in this church.

Moriah Stagg My friend and I were in Bellingham a couple weeks ago for a weekend trip and came here to Redeemer Church for a Sunday morning service. We were welcomed and greeted very warmly, and we would come again in a heartbeat. Wonderful multi-generational church with a beautiful building.

Emily Wright Life Church has a desire to see all people discover and trust in the love of Jesus. They have safe, secure, fun classes for kids of all ages.

Lee Brian “BarnCat” Its a good place doing a lot of good things.

Jaime Zapien The preacher is relatable and funny. The feeling we got was this place has yeshua here. If we lived closer we would be there every weekend.

Lee Brian “BarnCat” Honestly we were only there to do our taxes with AARP volunteers, but I was impressed with the setup of the place and some of the messages conveyed on the graphics on the walls, very nice acoustic structure too with plenty of headroom near the pulpit for any visiting Angels. Those folks really are on the taller side.

Roger Ewald We were just driving g through Bellingham and stopped in for the FREE LUNCH today. Delicious burgers. What a great way to make new friends! Thanks so much.

Marie Tsiang Our family decided to become members of this church after extensively looking all over Whatcom county when we moved north. The pastoral staff teach straight from the Bible and the congregation is genuinely kind and welcoming. The entire church strives to live out Gods Word daily.
