C3 Tri-Cities is a multi-venue church located in southeast Washington State. Every year, hundreds of people meet Jesus and are baptized at C3, making a major impact on the community. With a dedicated corps of 400+ volunteers, and dozens of staff, it’s my great joy to lead the church into its next chapter. The Tri-Cities is located east of Portland and southeast of Seattle. The population of the Tri-Cities CDP is just over 375,000 people, and with Southern California weather, it is rapidly growing and known as the “new Seattle.”
