Rooted in the heart of the U-District, we are a church family committed to serving and growing with our campus and neighborhood.
At Every Nation Church Seattle, we strive to create a friendly environment where people from all backgrounds can explore faith and build meaningful connections.
We hold in-person gatherings every Sunday at 9:30 am and 11:45 am. These gatherings are designed to be relaxed and inviting. You'll find people seated in circles, engaging in open conversations, listening to thoughtful messages, and sharing in moments of reflection. There's no pressure to participate beyond your comfort level—feel free to observe or join in as you feel ready.

OUR STORY
Every Nation Church Seattle began in 2001 when some friends from Corvallis, Oregon moved to Seattle to start a brand new church, led by Pastor Bruce and Carol Fidler, and Nik Harrang, our first campus missionary. The church began as an outreach to the University of Washington and other local college campuses.
What started out as a few friends seeking God together in a living room has now turned into an intercultural and intergenerational community church made up of people from all over the greater Seattle area.

Since that first Sunday we have met in community centers, other church buildings, and even a movie theater! Now, we currently meet on Sundays at our ministry HUB within the U District and are grateful to be a part of this community.
Where we meet, however, is not nearly as important as why we meet. We don’t believe that the church is a building — rather, we believe people make up the church. The church is not merely an organization, but is first and foremost a family — a living, dynamic community of believers united in Jesus and living on mission with Jesus. We like to say, “We are a family on a mission together in our city.”
We invite you to learn more about who Jesus is, and what it means to love and follow Him within a diverse community of believers who are still learning how to love God and others.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey — whether you are looking into the Christian faith for the first time, or whether you have walked closely with God for decades — we invite you to join our community, grow in Christ and get on mission with us in our city.

OUR VALUES
The Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to "guard the good deposit... with the help of the Holy Spirit" (2 Tim 1:14). Like Timothy, every ministry has a good deposit that must be guarded. As an Every Nation church, our core values articulate for us the good deposit we as a ministry must guard together, lest they be lost.
Lordship
Because Jesus is "King of kings and Lord of lords," we believe that the whole-hearted submission to God's will and his word is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth. (Colossians 2:6)
Evangelism
Because God's heart is to reach the lost, we're passionate about preaching the gospel and doing ministry in a way that engages people outside of the Christian faith. We seek to build churches primarily through evangelism, not transfer; through birth, not adoption. (John 3:16, Luke 19:10)
Discipleship
Because we're called to make disciples, our primary focus is establishing biblical foundations, equipping believers to minister, and empowering disciples to make disciples - not conducting meetings, facilitating programs, or building buildings. (Matthew 28:19-20)
Leadership
Family
Because we're called to establish churches and campus ministries in every nation, we're committed to a culture of empowering leadership. We're intentionally multi-generational, and we deliberately create opportunities and platforms to develop the next generation of leaders.
(2 Timothy 2:2)
(2 Timothy 2:2)
Because the family is the foundation of and validation of ministry, we refuse to sacrifice our marriages and our children on the altars of temporal success. And because we believe that God has called us to be a spiritual family, we embrace community, reject the idea of disposable relationships, and choose to walk in love, respect, and unity. (Psalm 127:1, 3)
