Christ Church Kirkland is a local religious institution serving the Kirkland area in Washington. Its origins trace to a home-based group formed in 1972, which evolved into a church plant after a vision to establish a Kirkland church. The inaugural service occurred on October 13, 1985, drawing about 140 attendees in a school gym. By 1991 the congregation moved into its own building in a North Kirkland business park, converting part of a light-industrial facility into a church facility. During the 1990s, the church launched educational and training ministries, including a parent-led K-12 cooperative school started in 1992 and The Master’s Commission program begun in 1994, which has since graduated more than 330 young adults who continue to serve. By 2012, the church centered its culture on being a community of believers growing in love for Jesus, under Lead Pastor Kevin McCuen, Associate Pastor Dr. Simon Mould, and a council of Elders. It operates within the religious institutions sector, serving a local faith community and families in Kirkland, Washington. Its offerings include worship and core church activities, a K-12 cooperative school, and The Master’s Commission discipleship program, addressing educational needs and opportunities for developing lay leaders within the church. The organization is small and emphasizes relationships as a central aspect of its work.
