LAUNCHING FALL 2024
Sunday’s at 10:30AM at 602 Valley St, Seattle WA
Our vision is to become people of His presence, making known His glory. We see a church full of people who are loved, healed, and radically transformed by the gospel. A church united together to become people of His presence, making known His glory. A church where He is at the center of the story. We are not the banner. Our church is not the banner. Jesus is the banner. And when we start looking at Him again, everything changes.

Banner was born out of a vision for revival in Seattle more than 10 years ago in a small classroom at the University of Washington. When he was 19 years old, Ryan had an unexpected encounter with the Holy Spirit at a missionary gathering on campus that would mark his life forever. God immediately gave him a burden to spend his nights praying for a move of God in the city. Six years later on September 1st, 2016 he was woken up in the middle of the night by a dream where he vividly heard a single sentence– “1 million people and 90 nations for the gospel”. Convicted and with a deep sense that their family was supposed to start a church in Seattle one day, he got up and wrote this sentence down on a whiteboard that hung in their living room (a picture of it is in his iPhone to this day). Fast forward another six years, in September of last year, Ryan and his wife Janelle began to sense that it was time to start that church. Not knowing what was on the other side, they started packing and began to take a step of faith with a growing team of people and a promise from God in their hearts. And just a few months later, through the miraculous provision of God, they inherited a debt free 100 year old historic church building just five blocks from the Space Needle– right in the heart of Seattle.
Our heart is for revival. But not one that’s manufactured, driven by hype, or revolves around a personality. We long for a genuine move of God in our city that overflows from people returning to a simple burning love relationship with Jesus that moves us in every way toward kingdom life as we gaze upon Him and what He’s done for us on the cross.
We believe in a church passionately pursuing the presence of God together, rebuilding the altar of worship and prayer in our lives and in our city, turning back to Him in restored awe and wonder as the true answer for the longing in our hearts.
We believe in a church being transformed from the inside out and walking in their new identity through a deep, growing, counter-cultural relationship with God, not out of religious obligation, but as sinners made saints through the love of Jesus displayed on the cross.
We believe in a church of people from all different backgrounds, made one in heart and soul through the Gospel, being established into a new life-bringing family where God and people dwell together to be a home that looks like heaven in the heart of our city.
We believe in a church becoming a movement— building His kingdom and bringing hope wherever we go, lifting up Jesus as our banner above all else and believing for revival in our day for the renewal of our city, the nations, and our generation.
