About the Summer study
In Part 2: The Wanderers, we will study the lives of Miriam Deborah, Rahab, Noami and Ruth, discovering how God’s design for womanhood welcomes women from all walks of life. Through their stories, we’ll see God’s faithfulness, grace, and redemption at work—often through imperfect people and unexpected paths.
This study will inspire us to dig deeper into God’s Word, better understand his heart for women, and embrace our role in his incredible plan of redemption.
Cost: There is no fee for the study—just the cost of the book, which you can purchase here.
Note: When registering for morning session, please select the age range of your children and names so we can have the rooms staffed for specific age groups.

Join us for the 2027 Prayer Conference hosted by Mountlake Church.
Throughout the Psalms, we observe an uncomfortable reality: God often seems distant from his people. Believers who have walked with the Lord for any length of time have likely experienced these discouraging seasons.
But what if, far from being evidence that we’re failing in our faith, spiritual dry seasons are in fact part of God’s plan to draw us into a deeper walk with him? What if, hidden in the spiritual desert, are streams of living water?
If you have ever:
Prayed and felt silence…
Served and felt empty…
Obeyed and still felt far from God…
If you have found yourself in the desert, desperately longing for the living waters Jesus promises—we invite you to this year’s Prayer Conference. Come, draw near to the Lord as we explore together how to walk through the differing seasons of the soul.
What is Prayer Conference?
We are surrounded by no shortage of voices, opinions, causes, and ideologies. For followers of Jesus, it can be difficult to discern the voice of God. Coming out of the COVID season, we were invited by the Spirit to set aside a weekend each year to learn how to abide in the presence of our Father.
The vision of the Prayer Conference is simple: “Teach us to pray” (Luke 11v1). Just as the disciples ached to learn how to communicate with God—so we today yearn to converse with the living God. We believe that we not only talk to, but hear from God through the practice of prayer.
Unlike other conferences, the Prayer Conference is a unique experience of prayer practices, discussion in groups, encounters in worship, and engaging teachings from our keynote sessions and workshops. You will leave having put into practice what God lays out in his Word.
Schedule TBA
Mountlake Marriage Retreat - Everything's Fine
How often do we settle for mediocrity in our marriage - often not even realizing it? We say “everything’s fine” and may even project that - while actually feeling disconnected or misaligned with our spouse.
Join us at the Mountlake Marriage Retreat September 18–19, 2026 at Warm Beach Christian Conference Center with guest speakers with Nate & Stacy Penny. It’ll be a weekend designed to move your marriage from mediocrity to real connection. Cost is $300 per couple.
Soda Shoppe Sunday
Back to school is a hard pill to swallow, but as Mary Poppins once said: a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down! That’s why Sunday September 13th, Mountlake Kids will be hosting a free soda fountain outside the kid’s wing after church. If you have cool neighbors and you’ve been waiting for just the right moment to invite them out on Sunday, or if you yourself have been waiting a good time to check us out, this is the week to do it.
At Mountlake Kids we believe community should be at the heart of church, and community is best lived out around a table. In this case that table is a soda bar!
Hosted outside the Kid’s Wing, after the 9am and 11am gathering.
High School Camp
High School camp will be taking place at Camp Jonah, where we'll be joining Calvary Chapel Lake Stevens, Edmonds, Whidbey, Eastside, San Juan, and Marysville!
Students can look forward to powerful moments of worship, engaging teachings, meaningful small groups, and plenty of fun games.

Kids Camp
God has done something for us worth celebrating.
For three days in July we will be exploring the theme of the grand party God has in store for his creation, both in the future and RIGHT NOW.
Just like Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast we want everyone to get a seat at the table, which is why we are putting on this year’s Kid’s Camp free of charge.
So invite your friends, neighbors and your neighbor’s friends… there’s a party going on!
Ages: 4-10
