Sermon is always awesome. Celebrate recovery is where it is at. We all have hardships, hang ups, and habits. They come in all forms, grief, loss,personal trama,alcohol, drugs, everything from a to z. There is zero judgment just an amazing group of people who care and listen. This is one of the best safe places you could ever want to be in Did I mention the pastors are spot on and real. Not to mention Nick with his heart felt ,soul grabbing music. Absolutely the best place to be.

This is my home church and I have been going there for over 10 years. I love my pastor I love the people that come here and I love serving God. So if you're hurting and you want to find answers Jesus is the way and this is the place to go to find Him. God will most definitely meet you wherever you're at. Try us out!

Talented worship team, engaging pastors, modern feel. Retains the traditional message while keeping the feel fresh for the younger set. Involved in the community throughout the week, not just a Sunday collection plate. A wonderful sense of belonging to Christ and community.

I started going to life center rainier about 31/2 years ago. The best house of God ever. I attended a 12 step class and it was amazing. Helped me through my grief tremendously. Awesome leaders. All the Bible study’s have been great. Celebrate Recovery is lead by Pastor Steve and he is awesome. The worship team is great. Love the leader. Nick has a beautiful voice. He really fills my spirit up with love from his singing. I’m so thankful and blessed to be a part of Life Center Rainier. Totally changed my life. So blessed and our NEW Pastor Tyler Is awesome and amazing. When he teaches the word of God I’m blessed because I understand and learn every Sunday morning. I wouldn’t change ever going here because this is the place to be. Love love love Life Center Rainier. The Best church ever !!!!!

Went to food bank drive thru. Very efficient, very fast and just an Awesome Attitude 🙂. If you ask if they have dog food they do although it must run out occasionally - choice of beverage. Live the hours. …

I first started going to this church as a teenager. Over the years I have moved and tried other churches but this is the church where I have felt most connected to god and the community. I have learned a great deal from pasture HR and love this place!

This is a wonderful place to be on a Sunday morning. The Pastor is amazing at preaching, he does it in a way that even I can understand. He is also totally hilarious!

Pastor Sami and Pastor Candi are both such dynamic leaders. It is so fun watching them preach together Pastor Sami preaches in Spanish and his wife translates in English and it so fun watching them play off each other. Their obedience in the Kingdom is undeniable and refreshing ...

I came from a point of complete despair when I first arrived at CR. My now Ex had left me, I lost my home family and even the so called Brothers In a 3 piece MC who's colors are Red and Gold had turned on me. It was turning my life over to Jesus working the 12 steps through Christ's eyes, I finally became free. I had been active in other 12 step work for over 14 years and that was a great spring board. Yet it did not scratch my other hurts and hang ups that cost me everything. To lose is to gain and to surrender is to win. I am finally at piece with the man in the mirror. I even stayed to help facilitate the start of a new CR in Silverdale. Thank you and God Bless

The service was wonderful. The people seemed to be as well but was not sure where to go to mingle and see how I fit the congregation.

Seems like a good church, big one. I would prefer a very small church that cares more about the Bible, parishioners and not $$
