Vision
Our name reflects our passion. What does our region need the most? Better roads? Less traffic? Less political angst? All good things... but what we believe our surrounding community needs the most is to See Jesus in all we do. When people are in a growing relationship with Jesus, there is greater peace, passion for life, and care for family, the community, and all those around them. This is why our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus.
Our desire is that in everything (including our facilities) our friends, family, and community would See Jesus! Our See Jesus campaign builds around the very purpose of why we exist as a church. We want people to See Jesus in our lives, See Jesus at our work, See Jesus when we worship, and See Jesus in how we steward this beautiful 44 acres God has given us.

March 2023 UPDATE:
Dear Members and Supporters,
We are thrilled to share the latest developments regarding our new church building plans. After meticulous planning and revisions, we have finalized the blueprints for a magnificent 10,000-square-foot auditorium that will serve as the heart of our community. These plans have been carefully crafted to meet our congregation's needs and to provide a welcoming space for worship, fellowship, and outreach.
We are excited to announce that the revised plans have been submitted to King County for approval. As we await feedback, we hope to secure the necessary permits by fall. This timeline aligns with our goal to break ground before October 15th of this year. However, should we encounter delays in the approval process, we remain steadfast in our commitment to seeing this project through. If permits are obtained after the targeted date, we will adjust our timeline accordingly, ensuring that every aspect of the project meets the highest standards.
The total cost for our new facility's construction and land development is estimated to be $6 million. We have allocated approximately $4 million from our savings towards this endeavor. We are deeply grateful for the generosity and dedication of our congregation, whose support has brought us closer to realizing our vision.
Once groundbreaking commences, we will launch another building campaign to raise the remaining $2 million needed to complete the project. With your continued support and contributions, we are confident that we will reach this milestone and create a space to enrich the lives of future generations.
We extend our sincerest gratitude to the members of our task force and staff who have dedicated countless hours to advancing this project. Their unwavering commitment and expertise have been invaluable every step of the way.
As we embark on this exciting journey together, let us continue to uphold our shared values of faith, community, and service. Together, we will build a physical structure and a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who seek solace and belonging.
Thank you for journeying with us to create environments that encourage and equip people to Love God, Make Friends, and Change the World!
A Letter from Pastor Ken
Our campaign name "See Jesus" reflects what we have been doing these past five years here at New Community. We have turned an abandoned golf course into a beautiful park like structure for our community so that they may See Jesus as they walk the trails, fish in our ponds, swim in the pool, play mini-golf, and worship in an award-winning restored barn.
It's my prayer that you join us all as we commit to making more space for more people to See Jesus! Imagine future generations thanking you for your sacrificial and generous giving so others may See Jesus. Their "thank you's" start with play, laughter, and singing; and end with someone sharing how they can See Jesus! Wow! For us, that's a vision worth investing in!
Will you please join with us in prayerful consideration of how God would have you involved in this vision and in the vision for generations to come?
Helping others See Jesus,
Pastor Ken
HOW TO MAKE A PLEDGE
The success of New Community's See Jesus initiative depends upon each of us prayerfully considering gifts that are beyond our current giving. The process of deciding what is "faith stretching" is exciting because generosity is a major way our community can See Jesus in us!
