Kurt & Augusta DeVries

Where are you from & how long have you been in Seattle? We’ve been in the Seattle area since 2013 and were married shortly after in 2014 by Pastor Dave. (Time really flies). Kurt hails from Spokane and landed in Seattle after his time at WWU. Augusta is a Wisconsinite: once a Badger, always a Badger, and moved here from the Denver area for a boy (Kurt), and the rest is history.

How did Sideris become home for you? Call it right place, right time or call it God nudging us to help plant Sideris for His glory. We’ve always felt welcomed by the community of Sideris - and called out of our comfort zones to lead and serve. Sideris became home from the invitation to return and grow over and over and we’re so grateful for the time we have had at Sideris.

Why is considering in community important? We were never meant to wrestle with some of life’s most important questions alone. The times we’ve tried were lonely and unfulfilling, and the highs were fleeting. Sideris is a safe, welcoming space to ask questions and grow in faith and knowledge of Christ and God’s plan to redeem His people - even us. In community, we get to share in that good news and learn from each other as we walk with God. It’s important enough to make a priority, or we miss out thinking we can do it by ourselves.
