Four years ago, Sideris came alongside a couple other churches to launch a prayer initiative in the city, seeking to invite the city to pray together during the season leading up to Easter, known historically by the historic global church as “Lent.” Now in it’s fourth iteration, there are dozens of churches participating and thousands of “prayer passports” being dispersed all over Seattle to connect us in prayer. You can find more info at prayseattle.org

On Feb. 15th we will kickoff the 2026 version of “40 Days of Prayer” by joining with people from all over the city for a night of worship.

4 CHANCES TO NOT BE ”HOME ALONE” THIS CHRISTMAS

Last year we kicked off our first Christmas in Ballard with our “No Kevins” campaign, because we don’t want anyone to be without family at this time of year. We believe God has created a family for all through the new spiritual community that is the local church. Our #1 goal this time of year is making sure everyone gets to celebrate with others… and that includes you. This year we’ve doubled-down on this messaging, reminding all of what the gospel of Jesus Christ teaches… that no one is too far gone to be welcomed into the reality of God’s grace… not even these guys on the poster —>

So, Merry Christmas (you filthy animals)! We hope to see you in-person at one of these festive nights of singing Christmas songs and sharing cider, treats & good community. Come relax and refresh.

The Foyer Creation Project — PLEDGE SUNDAY - Nov. 16

In 2024 Sideris was gifted this amazing 115 year old building by Ballard Baptist Church. From day one our leadership team knew that the one thing lacking from this amazing property was a large open gathering space to allow the freedom of movement and conversation essential for Sunday mornings as well as special weekday events and classes. From then until now we have been working with architects, designers and contractors to prepare a plan including updated electrical, mechanical and structural systems to bring the building into the 21st century. That day has finally arrived!

• This Foyer project is the tangible extension of our gospel vision and principles into a living space. We are a church that longs to be known as a people and place of connectedness, conversation and consideration. This much needed addition to our floor plan creates the spaces that create this culture.

• In order to move from dream to reality, the SLT has set a target fundraising goal of $450,000 to be raised before the completion of the project near the middle to end of 2026.

• If you consider Sideris home, we ask you to prayerfully consider how much – big or small – you might be able to contribute towards this goal — over and above your regular giving.

• We will be inviting people to confidentially share their financial participation in this fundraising effort during worship on Sunday, November 16th.

To Read about some “Frequently Asked Questions” click here.

We believe that as a united body we can reach this sizable goal if we all contribute together in the ways and means God has generously blessed each of us.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process or the financial needs, please set up a meeting with someone from the SLT by emailing SLT@siderischurch.com

Topic: Panel Discussion with 4 Wiser/Older Saints on Stewardship & Generosity

RSVP HERE

We are super excited to be having another Men's event and especially excited because the topic and the panelists are very timely. The impetus for this conversation at this Men's Breakfast has been the many questions and conversations Ryan and I have been recieving from young men in particular surrounding the Foyer building project and its’ fundraiser. I know it is stirring up many new considerations for many of you around idea of praying about generosity and stewardship. Many of you have asked Ryan and I for wisdom… and to be honest… we don’t always have the wisdom you need because we too are new to most all of this stuff too… and so…

It got us starting conversations with some older wiser men in our community you do have much more experience and wisdom in considering these matters and we have 4 such men — Jeff, Brian, Ed, and Marc — who have agreed to sit in on a panel discussion about topics like stewardship, generosity, managing ones money, and kingdom investing. Each of these men have been on the planet for at least 6 decades ;) and each have been successful in ways that have required deep consideration of these topics.

In our conversations leading up to this breakfast I have already been so blessed to hear them speak with honesty and humility about their growing pains in these areas and so I am very excited for you all to get in on the conversation.

So please start thinking about your questions for these wise men, as the majority of our time together will be Q&A based discussion. Please use seize this opportunity to grow in your wisdom.

And a special pre-thanks to Jeff, Brian, Ed, and Marc for their willingness to sit center stage and be grilled on this seldom discussed and sometimes uncomfortable topic.

Building Project Q&A with the SLT

October 16th

12:30pm in the Sanctuary After Worship

BYOS = Bring your own swivel chair!

We are wanting to make some time and space to talk further about the foyer project and how it came to be and such.

If you’ve got questions about either the project itself or about the financial side of things, please join.

Hopefully we can gain collective clarity and excitement about this joint venture in the gospel.

We can even dream abut ways to use the new space in the fullest way!

No need to RSVP, just show up!

Family Membership Class happening OCT. 11th, from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. Coffee, a Light breakfast, and a FULL LUNCH will be provided!

Here at Sideris, we think of membership as ‘family’ - We are part of God’s family! In our day and age, it’s strange to consider a group of people as a family but it’s exactly the vision for communal life we see grip Jesus’ followers in the New Testament. In this class, we unpack what it means to be a family member at a church in this day-and-age in a city like Seattle. This includes how we love and hold responsibility for and towards one another and envision our mission toward the city. We designed this 1 time, “no strings attached” class with plenty of room to ask questions, and our pastors use this class as a starting point to get together with all who have gone through it to unpack their thoughts, questions, and desires to join the family. We do this to help people conceive what we hope our church is like, so we hope that all who are beginning to call Sideris “home” (a family term!) will check it out!

What (:) happens at our Praise + Prayer Nights at Sideris?

Praise + Prayer Nights at Sideris are extended times of music and prayer—set apart from our usual Sunday rhythm—where we intentionally gather to seek the Lord together. While God is always near and His presence is constant, these evenings are an invitation to slow down, re-orient our hearts to that reality, and become more attuned to His grace, mercy, and peace.

Through unhurried musical worship, reflective prayer, and space to simply be still before God, we hope you’ll find rest and renewal. Whether you come to sing, to be sung over, or to bring the weight of your week (or the summer ahead) before the Lord, this is a space for you. It’s a place to surrender your burdens and receive the comfort only He can give.

If you need someone to pray with you, or if you’re carrying something heavy, this is a safe and sacred space to lay those prayers at the altar of praise.

“Pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Don’t stifle the Spirit.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:17–19 (CSB)

When: Thursday, Aug 7th @ 7PM

What does our ‘14 Principles Trivia Night’ look like?

In this class, you will learn about the 14 principles that guide our community and mission here at Sideris. In team style trivia, we will unpack each principle by looking at Scripture to see which principle aligns with which bible passage. It’s fun and only a little competitive ;)

Bonus: Food & drinks are available for purchase, but not required.
