Port Orchard,WA - List top 25 Churches

Pee-Bee Jay After six emails, and several requests on app to join group, nothing. After messaging Marci Scurlock (one of the pastors) a fourth time, she responded vaguely and mentioned she can’t give out group leaders’ contact. I think this person was supposed to connect me with the group leaders so I could visit the group. I am not happy with my experience. (A friend of mine recommended this place to me.) BTW, my schedule does not allow me to attend Sunday service. But I work close by and was looking to join a scripture study group. This is the email I sent: Hi, Not sure you received my message a few weeks ago. I am new to Newlife and am interested in checking out Pete and Sharon’s group (South Kitsap). I submitted a request in the app several weeks ago but didn’t hear back. I was wondering if they still meet and if I could visit. Can you help me with getting in touch with them? Thanks.

Joel Easling What a great place of community and care. Folks here are friendly and engaging. As an introvert, I started coming here years ago and began making friends. I wasnt rejected by folks, but rather encouraged and challenged in my spiritual journey. Christ is followed, the Gospel is preached and the Scriptures are upheld as the ultimate authority. Being that its a Big church, you may start out somewhat unknown, but folks try to get to know you and sometimes you just gotta dig in and plug in... participate. I love these people!!!

Dana Rush Support the Boy Scouts and I went for the memorial service with a lovely presentation of wreaths on veterans of the past.

Lena Reth Hi. This is a good church. I love that the people are welcoming. the Pastor has some great sermons, the worship music is good and easy to sing along to. I love this church because it feels like home. Everyone is kind and it is easy to talk to people here

Brian Bungart I havent been attending this church for about 3 years. Maybe four. The people there are very friendly. They do not care what you look like on the outside. I have been helping with communion, getting it organized and the people to do it.

Joshua S Calvary Chapel with a 31 year senior pastor!! Pastor Kevin is such a great Bible teacher! Bible teaching church. Coffee and snack bar Sunday mornings. Youth group and Sunday school from nursery to teen groups. Very friendly and welcoming crowd.

Patricia Crookshank A very welcoming and friendly place to be on a Sunday morning. I loved the music with heartfelt voices lifted in praise and worship, and Pastor gave a wonderful sermon. I felt very blessed to be here.

Anita Frank We attended my nephews Eagle Scout ceremony here. The sound system is great, and the stage has great visibility. I helped out in the kitchen, which was clean, but disorganized. Minus one star for the disorganization (and the time wasted trying to figure out what went where or was where), everything else was 5 stars.

Chere Reinke Love the people, love the worship, the sense of community and especially the message! Everyone makes you feel so warm and welcome makes you feel worthy again really good experience for our family! Thursday night midweek recharges are the best groups you can join ,you make the best friends anf have time to learn the Bible and teachings of Jesu and fellowship with others!

Carla Harvey This guy isnt very professional hes supposed to be a man of the Lord, well hes not. What kind of amount of the Lord would not let their family talk about their dad their papa at their memorial. Very unprofessional, this guy needs to get out of the church thats not where he belongs. Its a horrible thing what he did. God help him!

Brandon Couch Just moved to the Port Orchard area and found CLC! The message is based on the Bible, not a lot of sugar coating, but its also so authentic. The music is great too and current. Pastor Virgil is down to earth and super genuine which these days its hard to find in a pastor. One thing we love as a family is the kids ministry too. Its a safe place security wise and our kids have fun. CLC is an amazing church and is going to be the next BIG church in the whole Kitsap area. We love being a part of this church! Come check it out!

Charity Swedberg While searching for a new church home, I called the pastor and spoke with him. I wanted to ask about his teachings, which are very sound biblical doctrines. No health & wealth prosperity junk food here. He was very accessible and made me feel at ease, and let me ask the difficult questions. He was happy to answer them. A pastor must be approachable.

Lonny Moore I am so glad you put together the Halloween experience .the kindness of all concerned that was shown to me and my family and especially my two Grandsons, has restored my faith in many ways. Thank you very much

SEA Amazing church that loves God. Bring your family here to grow in your faith.

BL Raine We recently moved to the area and we had been looking for a church that would be inclusive of everyone, feel comfortable, and give us opooropportun to learn & grow. From our first visit, we were embraced by the community. The parish is diverse, active in the community and the world, and filled with love. We feel so fortunate to find a church in which we were immediately welcome and knew we had found a place that inspires us and that feel like weve come home.

Thom Burke A great local church, welcoming with true biblical teaching

Alexander Abing BBC has been our home church for 38 years. ALL our needs are met here. The preaching is straight from the Bible, people are genuinely loving and kind. Members are a representation of all age groups, so there is something for everyone.

Jeffrey Phillips Office staff is awesome. Full of heartfelt compassion

Michael Stevanus A small congregation, but every service I have been to has been a breath of fresh air compared to some of these political churches. Its nice just to hear the sermon, a bit of singing, and be around friendly people sometimes.

funny stuff Super friendly, good for people who hate big crowds. And they arent money hungry like some other churches i have been to. The first time i went i knew my search for a good church was over.

Seenie Brown The pastors and Elders care about people. They are prayer warriors.

Lana Marriage This church is the one Ive been looking for all my life. The people are exceptionally friendly and welcoming and also genuinely authentic. Although Ive considered myself a Christian for most of my adult life and have studied the Bible for years, Im not only learning new things but gaining crystal clear insights into ideas and scriptures Ive never understood. Our Pastor is well educated and very knowledgeable. His sermons are deeply spiritual and bigger than life, yet they are full of down-to-earth stories, humor where appropriate and clarified content. I love listening to him as he preaches the gospel. Without making this review too lengthy I just want to add that there is a full slate of classes to attend, activities for involvement potlucks with delicious food and great fellowship, Bible studies, counseling, a library, picnics, seminars and even a summer camp for adults and children of all ages. As you can tell, I highly recommend that you visit and see if its the church in which youll be blessed!

Alex Kopecky This small church is full of the most loving and caring people Ive ever met. I have moved a lot and gone to many churches in my life but Ember Church is one of the few churches I have felt like part of a family.

christopher lyman Love the hymns and the comfort and the pastor

Stephanie Bulman Firebrand Church is a true gem in our community. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and kindness that immediately makes you feel at home. The members and leadership here go out of their way to create an inviting, family-like atmosphere that welcomes everyone. What sets Firebrand apart is its commitment to upholding and sharing biblical values, even when those values might be unpopular. It takes real courage to speak truth with love in a world that often challenges it, and Firebrand does so with grace and humility. They are unafraid to discuss the harder parts of Scripture, and they handle these topics in a way that is both respectful and deeply rooted in compassion. This church embodies what the body of Christ should look like—united in purpose, steadfast in love, and committed to living out faith in a way that is impactful and sincere. Firebrand is a place where you can feel the presence of God and the genuine love of His people. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a church that truly practices what it preaches!
