Union Church Seattle

We are a community of riskers, seekers, and doubters who strive to be externally focused, internally Union moved into 415 Westlake Avenue North.

What if you had a clean canvas to create a community experience that helped people know God, care for others beyond themselves and enjoy authentic relationships? Sixteen people from University Presbyterian Church were given the opportunity to start fresh and in October 2006 the Union Church community began to meet. Seeing that people grow the most when their lives include community, worship, and s

erving others, the Union community began to come together in a monthly rhythm combining those three activities. Believing that the city did not need another church building but that South Lake Union could benefit from a "third place" gathering space as the community began to grow. The space was re-purposed to be a venue for the neighborhood, nonprofits, celebrations, corporate events, the arts, and a chocolate café to aid in the growth of the community. Those are some of the broad strokes on the canvas. Other brush strokes include serving at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, with Immanuel Community Services, providing an overflow shelter with Noel House, engaging with the homeless and elderly, and hauling trash out of Lake Union through our fourth Sunday emphasis on serving others We partner with DOXA in building homes in Tijuana, and work with and through IJM to abolish human trafficking locally and around the world. With the paint still wet, Union is a growing community of 250 people from around Seattle in every stage of life seeking to add color and more to the gospel story that's coming together on this canvas. And where did the Union name come from? Geographically we are based in the South Lake Union area, but the name also captures our desire to be in union with Jesus, one another, and the Holy Spirit’s activity in the world. We are looking forward to your brush strokes on the canvas!

From Seattle to Guatemala, what a gift it was to visit our international partners at Eden ().

Our team of women had the privilege of spending time with Eden’s entrepreneurs and their families, and left completely moved. Eden is a place where adults with intellectual disabilities build meaningful work, care for the environment, and find belonging in community. Through friendship and purposeful work, they are discovering themselves and creating a ripple effect of positive change in their families and beyond.

The space itself is an oasis: gracious, welcoming, and full of life. But it was the people who made it unforgettable. Their joy is contagious, and we are so grateful to have been welcomed into it.

To the Eden community: thank you for inspiring us. We carry your stories home with us, and we are honored to call you partners. Annie and Rodolfo, thank you for your hospitality and for creating an organization that seeks the flourishing of all people.

Pentecost is this Sunday 🔥

Two thousand years ago, the Holy Spirit descended on a room full of believers, tongues of flame resting on each head, a rushing wind filling the space. In an instant, ordinary people were empowered to carry God’s love across every cultural and linguistic barrier. Our God speaks every language. Every one.

Pentecost is the birthday of the Church — the moment the Spirit was poured out on ALL believers, sending them out into the world with grace, courage, and fire.

And this Sunday, we’re living that out.

We’re building a new garden box to bless our neighborhood, and serving an abundance of meals to neighbors facing food inaccessibility. Small acts. Real love. The Spirit poured out in the here and now.

Come join us. There’s room at the table, and in the garden.

This Sunday @ 10am
Worship in Action
415 Westlake Ave N, Seattle

People who are connected with Union Church gather on Sundays and every day of the week at 415 Westlake, in neighborhoods, in the workplace, and whenever Spirit guides us to be people of WELCOME, GRACE, and HOPE. Theologian Walter Bruegheman who recently passed to glory, describes our identity so well: “we are an odd people who, specialize in cold water and shared bread, in welcome speech, hospitality, sharing, giving, compassion, caring, in small ways, setting the world fresh.”

Week One| #1 | Jesus is our foundation—for our lives and lives together as Union. Entering into this time of discernment, think with God about what it means for Union to have Jesus as our foundation—especially as we consider redeveloping 415 Westlake?
