The Community

Seattle’s greater Eastside is home to economic giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, T-Mobile, Starbucks, Eddie Bauer, and thousands of thriving start-ups that have created an international hub of economic success. The church is in an area experiencing explosive growth from e-commerce, tech, and gaming industries. Doxa currently meets in the financial and economic hub of Bellevue, but will soon be moving to the technology hub of Redmond, home of Microsoft headquarters. The Eastside is more conservative than its sister across the water, Seattle, but still leans liberal and is predominately unchurched and de-churched with strong Islamic and Hindu communities. Family, wealth, and recreation are the highest priorities in the culture, with the majority of Eastside residents presenting healthy, wealthy, affluent lives as young families with overextended calendars. From the concentration of global and innovating technology employers to the vast and varied ethnic groups represented in the region, Doxa’s impact in the community has the potential to influence some of the highest upstream culture creation in the world.
