Kristine C. We love the authenticity at NWLife. This is a real church with real people and a real mission. We have felt welcome here since we started attending last July and are looking forward to building new friendships as we grow our faith and get involved in our community. So happy we found this place.

Cathy Sheridan I love to worship here!! The pastor and members are wonderful people. Come visit and see for yourself if you need a wonderful place to meet and visit God!

Rena G Such a warm ambiance. Their worship songs get me teary eyed . True Word of God preached here. My kids love Sunday school. So glad we came back.

Cynthia Gutierrez Hi! My husband and I started going to Mercy church since it opened, we love the service so much because you can tell Pastor Eugene shares God’s word and reads the Bible with us, his sermons are so transparent and he isn’t afraid to redeem your spirit. We love this church so much but not only for the people, pastor Eugene takes a different approach than other pastors diving deeper into the gospel than we had experienced elsewhere. My husband and I were dating when the church opened about 2 years ago and we grew in this church so much Pastor Eugene was our officiant at our wedding! We love the community and to server together! Highly recommend to grow in this church!

Falcon Ready I came randomly when this church was at Renton stadium (by where I live) when I was looking for a church one Sunday. I heard music and decided to walk over there. The usher was an awesome dude, went out of his way to engage with me and tell me about the church. Aside from that, he was the only one and I def felt awkward and like an outsider the entire time while people greeted each other around me. The guy directly next to me turned out to be the pastor and his family. He came over and shook my hand and asked me my name and how I’m doing, I said fine. I look over right after and he’s wiping his hand on his jeans, literally. I get self conscious like am I sweaty or oily or something? I almost asked him “you know I can see you right?” I know there was no reason for him to do that outside of his own personal phobias or something, so I won’t dwell on it outside of telling the truth here. The message was lackluster. I wonder how much life experience he actually has to drive home the points of the gospel. Then again, if you’re chosen by God, then it is what it is. He could def work on his charisma and energy though, seemed like he spent maybe 5 min preparing that sermon. I’d give 0 stars if it weren’t for the usher

Robert Reedy I would give zero stars if possible. My wife and I were enjoying a beautiful morning at Coulon Park, meditating, praying, and glorying in the quiet moment with each other. Then two people from this church accosted us. They foisted a tract on us and proceeded to question our moral character, imply we were liars and thieves, then started to lecture/browbeat us about the ten commandments. We repeatedly tried to tell them we were raised in church, knew what they were saying, and that they could move on. Finally my wife-who was raised in a cult and has major religious trauma from the abuse she suffered by trusted clergy-said they were making her uncomfortable and asked them to leave us alone. Then I also had to stand up and physically place myself in their space and between her and them and politely wished them a pleasant day. Then they finally left. Evangelism should not be borderline abusive. Completely unacceptable. The two of you who were at Coulon Park on June 7th should be ashamed of yourselves.

Christy Hatch This church has three services in Sundays. They have a separate building for just the kids. We love to go to the 12:30pm service aka the night owl service. Our family sleeps in big time. We love everything this church has to offer. They have the main Pastor and they rotate pastors weekly so it’s nice. Whether it’s your first time going to church or looking to get into a different one, go for it! You won’t be disappointed. This church is husband approved!

Jasmine Jasmine The church is big and beautiful and I’m new to the area so wanted to try it out. I did not like it, to be honest the pastor was just talking a lot about money and donate donate. Only like 3% of the time he actually spoke of the Bible and it was a passage he used to speak on money. Then he said the words “lukewarm Christian’s” which is so offensive to people new to church like me. Won’t be returning.

jacob hy Overwhelming, kind, a little forward. Worship was hymns with modernized instruments. The church claims to be very helpful to the locals! They used some videos Ive seen on YouTube for some of their service. I personally was glad they read from the Bible. Im going to say Im not sure I agree with the interpretation of their main man. He is a warm friendly charismatic nature, with a dad teacher style. Nice blend of older and younger. Would totally recommend my baptist friends they are welcome here. Blessings

Michael Smith I am here now for the celebration of life. To support my loved ones and to give great respect to a man Jason who i highly respect and and will miss at our family gaterings

Biani Benitez Been going here nearly all my life. Love the people, leadership, and relationships here! Jesus is the first priority and sermons are only on what the Bible teaches. Youth Group is also a must each Sunday night at 6!

Craig Christensen I grew up at this church and came back to it after college when I moved back to the area. I love the leadership. An amazing gospel-preaching, Jesus-loving, people-loving, others-serving church!!

Douglas Younts I was looking for a smaller and now personal church experience and thats what Ive found here. The pastor and staff are fantastic, take time for my family and me.

Mya Aegerter This church is more than just a place to gather. Join our family, come worship and join a safe place that is filled with the Love of Christ. 10am

Рудольф Опасный Good afternoon dear parishioners, My name is Ruslan, my family and I are from the city of Mariupol. Ukraine . Because of the hostilities, we lost everything we had, but we managed to save the most important thing: Our life and the life of our 5-month-old child (at the time of hostilities in the city of Mariupol). Now we live in Lithuania, but due to the psychological trauma caused by the war, unfortunately we do not feel safe, and for this reason we are looking for a person in the USA who could help us move to the USA becoming our beneficiary (sponsor) the name is only formal since the beneficiary does not bear any responsibility for us and SHOULD NOT HELP US FINANCIALLY IN ANY WAY!!! We only need help with documents. thank you very much in advance and I apologize for my bad English))) peace to your home

Mark Nalivayko I had the pleasure of visiting on December 1st at 10:00 AM, and I was truly impressed by the warmth and graciousness of the people there. From the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel incredibly welcome. The service, lasting just over 2 hours, was inspiring, with beautiful worship songs and two insightful sermons. The fact that everything was translated from Ukrainian to English showed how much effort they put into making everyone feel included. Afterward, I spent some time at the coffee shop, which was just as wonderful as the people. The atmosphere was cozy, and the coffee and snacks were fantastic—a perfect way to end such a meaningful visit. Thank you to everyone for making my experience so memorable. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Michael Misinonile A wonderful place to praise, sing, worship and fellowship with Christians of like mind and people that love our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Abhijit Das Awesome church and a great fellowship. This church will make you feel as family. Love the sermons of Pst Steve and his deep understanding of the bible. He is holds a doctorate degree in theology, a man serving the lord for more than 3 decades with his lovely wife Diane, who is also a talented musician. I recomend this church to all those people who are looking for a close fellowship community, people who will genuinely care for you, not only on Sundays. As I believe church goes beyond the Sunday service.

Joel Van Ornum I deeply appreciate the solid biblical teaching and getting us back to basics. I come away with the sense of how real Jesus is and His Holy Spirit is ever present which results in meeting new people every week. What a blessing and a joy.

Jonah Mackin This is a gospel centered, biblically rooted, culture celebrating church. I highly recommend going here! Great humble and intentional pastor!

Searching 4 Adventure I went to this church hoping for some divine wisdom, but all I got were tall tales and holy fibs! The pastors storytelling skills are top-notch, but I signed up for a sermon, not a stand-up routine. If I wanted fiction, Id read a novel, not attend a service. They promised heavenly truths, but I left feeling like Id just watched a magic show - lots of smoke and mirrors, but no real substance. I even caught the choir humming Pinocchio under their breath! Honestly, this place should be nominated for a Pulitzer in Fiction. If youre looking for facts, best to stick to the Bible, not these pews.

Christa Miller This is a very welcoming and Affirming church to everyone! I have been to church services many times and have been impressed with pastor Cynthia and the message that GOD Loves us ALL!!

S Thomas Buck Alex and Chris create perfect church environment for Worshipping the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Raul Salazar Great worship better preaching definitely felt the holy spirit!!!!

Matthew Luedke I grew up at RUMC including attending youth groups throughout junior high school and high school. Recently, I was asked to photograph a wedding at this church and was sorely disappointed with the manner in which the pastor handled the special occassion. Specifically, I was prohibited from taking photos from the aisle. Additionally, I prohibited from taking flash photography during the processional. All suggestions to help bring asthetic to the ceremony and venue were flatly rejected. As this church is very dimmly lit, the results were less than ideal. This church used to be vibrant, accepting, and full of great memories. Unfortunately, my opinion has soured. I simply cannot recommend this church or the Pastor for wedding services.

Brian Sherman I like this place... it is a very peaceful place to visit. I honestly have only paid this place a visit less than a handful of times... Every single visit, I will never forget. I guess youd have to find out for yourself to know exactly what Im trying to articulate. And the only way thats going to happen is when you visit for yourself.

Aaron Peterson Pastors and communities seem to be working to share Gods love. I see volunteers doing work to help the community. messages referenced scripture and were not excessively long. I have now been attending for a while now and help with Sunday school, and had a background check and some training. I had previous training for ski instruction and Sunday school at another church for 2s and 3s. I think they took the 1 star review below seriously and addressed it.

Sophia Rousseff Great place to practice driving if youre new
