About Seattle

Stanwood/Arlington, WA is where Stilly Valley Church is located. This area is definitely a smaller town/rural than Seattle proper. We will have the chance to do some park ministry, homeless ministry, usually VBS and help with fireworks stands. In all this work, and through our consistent group and timeframe, we work diligently to earn the right to have gospel convos with people from all different backgrounds and social classes. The PNW is a place where people rarely see a “need” that only Jesus can meet in their lives. The church to population ratio in the area is approximately 1 church for every 25,798 people. This is an area known as a place to run away from traditional Christian values. So, we are going to run toward the area to show and share the Gospel!
