This past Sunday, Quest and Interbay officially celebrated the joining of the two churches to become one church. In this merger, Interbay has done an amazing thing by giving itself to Quest Church. They have had such an amazing history. Please take some time to read their stories: Part 1 [the beginnings], Part 2 [rooting in Seattle], and Part 3 [the community]. In addition, you can read the article published by the Seattle Post Intelligencer on Monday, June 4 about the church merger and their observations from the Sunday celebration. Below are two videos: [1] our tribute to the “Interbay community” at the ONE service and [2] a glimpse of the 65 year history of Interbay. Also, here’s the ONE CHURCH newsletter [pdf].
Interbay: Thank you for your amazing faith and courage! Thank you for your decision in joining Quest and moving forward together. Because of your rich legacy of serving Seattle and sending missionaries globally, the larger church can now continue to grow as we seek the Kingdom of God together in Seattle and beyond. As ONE church, may we always remember the steadfast service of those who have gone before and made a way for us. To God be the glory!
