AMEN THANK YOU , AGAIN PASTOR MIKE HOWERTON FOR SAVING MY LIFE !!! SIR !!! AMEN TO YOU A MILLION TIMES THANK YOU

Overlake is an incredible church! If you are ok blending in like we are, you will definitely be happy here. The pastors are passionate, kind, funny, and loving toward everyone. My kids especially love the kids programming. The messages are delivered so well and you leave uplifted and ready to live your life better. The music is amazing too! Highly recommend checking out Overlake.

Paid for tickets to Jeremy Camp concert unaware I would be held hostage by the church's ministry soliciting for money- and the radio stations contest winners. I am offended at paying for a concert and being forced to listen to the church's agenda and a 40 minute ministry infomercial. What's next? Time share
Sales?

Amazing find as I wandered into the lot off the trail just looking for water to fill my bottles and clean myself and this knee scooter I'd just found, and a staff member not only welcomed me but explained that I could even take a shower there as well, not to mention have any soup and rolls they had available. Really made my day after having just about the roughest month of my life with breaking my ankle 2 days after getting out of jail, and being kicked out of where I'd been sleeping by Kirkland police the previous morning. I'm surprised I haven't heard about this place before.

I really enjoy this church. Mike is a great pastor and the worship band is amazing!

I'm not a member but always like the kids activities here

real nice, still in touch with someone i met 3yrs ago and havent seen since

Absolutely beautiful!!! Here to see Todd White and be apart of the Power & Love conference!!!

Great Place. Easy access and great seating for all occassional events. I enjoyed it very much and felt it was not over crowded to attend any event. I went to Jeremy Camp concert and it was awesome and inspiring.

Amazing church not all strict very welcome and loving

This church helped re-awakened me spiritually! Mike's messages are wonderful! I miss this church so much. Even though I have moved across the country, I still watch the sermons online. Excellent church to check out!

Overlake has been my family church for several years. We have seen the seasons of transformation thru the leadership of pastor Mike and the staff and multiple other family and children pastors that serve there. If you are new or seasoned Christian, I encourage you to not just go to Church but to be part of it. Enroll into the many serving opportunities that Overlake or your church provides and serve in your community or circles of influence. Please please please be part of a bible study group, that is where church community really starts. Hoping for you to find a church home that points to Jesus and Jesus alone for your purpose in life.

Genuine church, actively apply their faith, emphasize relationship with Jesus Christ.

Luke 3:10-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

10 And the crowds asked him, What then shall we do? 11 And he answered them, Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.
Proverbs 14:31 ESV

Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

Proverbs 28:27 ESV

Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.
Luke 14:13-14 ESV

But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.

Deuteronomy 15:11 ESV

For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.

1 John 3:17 ESV

But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?

And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.

This church turned away a homeless family and their RV. Read your Holy Bible and know what Jesus would do with the wealth and resources this church has. This family offered to volunteer for free. Shame on this church and it's leadership. If they turned away one, they have turned away many in their time of temporary need. This is not the only church like this. Read the Book of Revelation and see how such churches are judged in the end days by Jesus/YHVH.

May YHVH deliver those who persecute and judge those in that are homeless and in need of help and that they may see their wrong and repent and TRULY seek Jesus/Yeshua for salvation and forgiveness and be filled with the Holy Spirit. All is forgiven but others must know the Truth.

Great church. Lot of parking, nice installation, modern, family friendly with kindergarten and nursery. Very welcoming.

First impressions matter, right? This is a show more than a service. Production, really good. Performance, top notch. Person of Jesus? Didn't see that reflected much. I saw more of the singers on the screen than I did the Gospel in the sermon. The large crowds that gather probably say a lot. I mean, just read some of the reviews here, that says it all what people come here for. Narrow is the road.

Love God, Love people, server the world. More than a catchy phrase, it is how we live. A friendly place that honors or Father God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Great place to workship God.
Beautiful, passionate people. Great Pastors!!!

I love this church. The people here live out their faith. Everyone I've met here is kind, genuine and welcoming.

If you go to Seattle every year, you must go to church.

Our son attends preschool at Overlake and we are so pleased with his academic progress and personal growth in character! He is in a classroom with encouraging, patient teachers that provide a safe environment for each child to succeed in. We're also impressed by the OCC preschool staff, Nika Manfredi in particular. She initially gave us the classroom tour and made our family feel very welcome and at ease in the registration process. If you are looking for a preschool to meet and exceed your expectations.. OCC is the place!

Love this church!! 10/10 best church i've ever attended it's fun while learning at the OCCSM not to mention, the camps and retreats change your life! you got to seriously come!

Great Church. Large, with a small church feel. Biblically based teaching. Relaxed and casual. Great for families with lots of kids/youth ministries and support.

I love coming here. It's quite large, and easy to get lost, but the sermons are great
