Invite

Charlotte Wilhelm—Director

Bellevue Christian Church works to provide varied opportunities for people to meet and encounter Jesus. Our worship services include a variety of music styles, video, and drama. We also celebrate everything from answers to prayers, to new babies, to successes and life milestones, to new members to the Kingdom of God. Our service features a mix of traditional music and contemporary, Chancel Choir, ensembles, and occasional guest musicians. As Disciples of Christ, we celebrate communion in remembrance of Christ each Sunday. All are welcomed to share in this celebration.
Infant and Toddler Care for those from birth through three years is provided at both Sunday services (and at most special services).
Bellevue Christian Church exists to invite people into a relationship with Jesus, to equip them to live as he teaches, to care for one another as children of God, and to go out to invite others.
 

Equip

Daniel Paget – Director, Youth Education Ministry
Jim Parish—Director, Adult Education Ministry

Bellevue Christian Church is committed to equipping folks so that they can learn about Jesus and his teachings. We begin simply with our infants and toddlers, demonstrating Jesus’ care and love.

We equip our children through song, story, crafts, recreation, and opportunities to reach out to their friends, relatives, and neighbors.

Our adults have several opportunities to study the Bible and wrestle with how to apply it to different aspects of their lives.

At Bellevue Christian, we approach equipping ministries with the understanding that we are life-long learners and that no one has the market on knowledge or “truth.” Whether you have a question you can’t answer or just want to know more, we can, and want to, be of service to you.

Bellevue Christian Church exists to invite people into a relationship with Jesus, to equip them to live as he teaches, to care for one another as children of God, and to go out to invite others.

Care

Maggie Keech and Nancy Parish - Co-Directors

Bellevue Christian Church's Fellowship Ministries embrace the value of hospitality and care. After Sunday church service there is time for visiting and making new friends while enjoying beverages and snacks. Other opportunities for gathering include Lenten Soup Suppers, an annual Thanksgiving Dinner (Sunday before Thanksgiving), and Christmas Dinner. There are Family FunFests and numerous concerts spread throughout the year that bring together families of children from our church and community.

But caring means more than fun for us at Bellevue Christian Church. Our Stephen Ministry links highly trained Stephen Ministers with those who are experiencing changes or challenges in their lives. Our Homebound and Hospital Ministries respond with visits to those in hospitals for surgeries and illnesses, and to those finding themselves moving into new stages of life, whether short-term or on-going.

Bellevue Christian Church exists to invite people into a relationship with Jesus, to equip them to live as he teaches, to care for one another as children of God, and to go out to invite others.

Together We Build: By working together with people of many faiths, barriers are broken and understanding grows. In 2002 Bellevue Christian joined with Scared Heart Catholic Church, Temple B'nai Torah, Ithna-Asheri Muslim Association of the NW (IMAN), and Saint Joseph Catholic Church in the world's first interfaith effort to plan for and build four houses for Habitat for Humanity. This interfaith effort increased to 13 faith communities who joined together in a second project in 2003.
