Reviews of Church of the Apostles

Kent Stephenson

Completely affirming (marched in Pride with the church after coming out), beautiful music that is primarily composed in house by talented artists, and a healing experience coming out of fundamentalist religion. Episcopalian-ish service format.

I've been attending here for almost 3 years and love the home I've found in this community! The services are beautiful, creative, and contemplative - a great mix of liturgical and modern music and readings. One of my favorite parts of the service is called "Open Space" - it's a time to pray and/or reflect after the sermon. I love the quiet pause it provides for me to connect with God before I begin my work week. There are many opportunities to get involved, as congregational members help choose liturgy, give short sermons, and write and perform music. It's a loving and involved community where we tangibly helps our members through all kinds of life circumstances - deaths, births, illnesses, unemployment, divorce/break-ups, moving etc.

COTA's great! I'd been going to a much larger Episcopal church here in Seattle for awhile and was looking for a church home with a more community feel. My first time at Church of the Apostles, folks I'd met YEARS ago greeted me by name! 😮 I kept going back, Sunday after Sunday, and it's such an enriching experience for me. My favorite part are the creative liturgies. Week to week, each provides the most beautiful opportunities for reflection. The worship director writes lots of the music, too! There are small groups each quarter and they're a wonderful way to get (and stay) more connected with folks in the community. There's even an ongoing social justice group. If you're looking for a welcoming place, where you can engage at whatever level you're comfortable with, from showing up once a month to giving a REVERB (aka sermon/homily), consider Church of the Apostles!

I've been going to COTA (Church of the Apostles) for three years. It's been a wonderful church home. The community is open and accepting of people of different backgrounds and places in their faith journey. Services mix new and old traditions and comprise of music, contemplative time, and community lead sermons. It's been a great place to grow both as a Christian and as a member of a Christian community.

If you've ever been to a show at The Fremont Abbey, it's every bit as creative and inspiring when the church takes over the space on Sunday. The Saturday night Easter vigil and blowout Rise party every year is not to be missed. When I first showed up more than ten years ago I didn't realize how progressive and "open and affirming" most of the congregation is. I am pretty much conservative, evangelical, and Republican, yet even I am accepted and affirmed here with no expectation of becoming anything different. I would say that takes "open and affirming" to a whole new level. I believe it gives us all a golden opportunity to grow and develop in unexpected ways. I have found community here like I have not known in years and feel like I have more opportunity than ever to "grow into the image and likeness of Christ". Nothing feels forced, yet expectations are high. I don't drink myself, but the first time I showed up I was invited out to a pub after the service and had a great evening. It felt like Jesus had invited me out to knock back a cold one with his friends -- and did not at all mind if I ordered tea. COTA is not for everyone, but I encourage anyone to give us a try, and if you feel a little too uncomfortable with some of us, give us another try. It just might be Jesus that you are feeling uncomfortable with.

Church of the Apostles is one of the rare churches where I feel totally accepted. It's community-oriented, creative, and wonderfully musical. Highly recommended for folks who want more of an interactive service (as opposed to a consumer-style service). It's progressive, welcoming, and welcomes the various talents of all members/attendees.

I attended fairly regularly for about six years and found this to be a vibrant congregation open to experimentation, yet respectful of the spiritual strength embodied in some traditions of the church. Not all of the experiments have survived, but the willingness to try something different has. The liturgy is enriched by fresh approaches and creative themes that vary from season to season. Sermons, called "reverbs" are often given by members of the congregation. We got to see faith and the questions that people wrestle with as they mature spiritually from many different perspectives. It helped us to know each other in a way that rarely happens when all the preaching is done by the pastor. This isn't a good congregation for someone looking for consistency and simple answers, but it is a great place for the inquisitive soul on a spiritual journey looking to explore beyond initial assumptions and easy answers.

Hands down the most inclusive church I've ever been to. Gay, lesbian, transgender, non-binary, atheist, follower of a different religion, black, white, brown or anywhere in between, ALL are welcome here and encouraged to ask questions and worship in a way that feels right to them. I've left a big church in the Seattle area that claimed to be inclusive, and joined COTA because it's the real deal. As one of the worship songs we sing says, "There is no fear in love.'"

Mark Schneider

This church is widely known as the Fremont Abbey, and serves the arts community as a place to share art, music, and anything else that that's original art. The Fremont Abbey sponsors art shows, concerts of all stripes, and even combinations of these. The great hall is a large room particularly appropriate for musical events, any holds a twice monthly unplugged open mic, which regularly attracts original performers of music, dance, spoken-word/poetry and story telling. An exceptional place to experience the arts.

Rebecca Blue

Church of the Apostles has provided me a safe and nurturing space for authentic community interaction. I love the contemplative opportunities the structure COTA provides, both as a physical space and within the format of the services, for all my questions and curiosities surrounding my faith and the divine.

Rachel Cosca

This was my first church and still has a special place in my heart. It manages to be progressive and creative, while liturgical and traditional at the same time. There's a lot of reflective space, even a time in the middle where you can pray in various spaces, chat, drink tea, or go outside and smoke. It's a really great community.
