We are practicing Jesus’ advice in Mathew 9 to “Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers.” We believe that geography creates a mandate, and that our call is to mobilize leaders in every region, every city, and every neighborhood to help people find and follow Jesus and pursue kingdom flourishing!

Jesus’ command to love one another is not something we can do on our own, but requires others. His call for us to be one (as He and the Father are one,) is with the intent that the world will know that the Father sent Jesus. These teams are critical for modeling and embodying Jesus’ kingdom. Through the plurality of gifts (like the APEST,) we see that Jesus’ design for his Ekklesia is to grow in maturity and effectiveness toward our calling to go and make disciples. As the mission to each Cascadia city develops, the city reaching team becomes the primary change agent. Saturate hosts an annual summit for city leadership teams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631804813086-OYFIT6QAMU4UBBQ1ABY5/IMG_1788+2.JPG Initiatives - Discipling cities Saturating the City requires telling people about the hope of Jesus. Our vision is for the hope of Jesus to spread throughout Cascadia as we gather together with marketplace leaders, non-profit leaders, and congregation leaders, sharing stories and praying together. So, we focus on equipping leaders, and their people, to bring the gospel to every man, woman and child. The more people put their hope in Jesus, the more healing and transformation we will see. Therefore, we transform a city through transformed hearts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631804640166-21FNO98EZXXA5MUFZ0C2/pexels-luis-quintero-2014775.jpg Initiatives - LEader Development Saturating our cities with the gospel requires healthy leaders. Our mission is to identify and strengthen apostolic leaders in every Cascadia city. We are committed to discover and develop integrated and highly missional leaders who can pioneer the work of discipling their city, and do so from a place of rootedness in Christ. We believe that as leaders are healthy, capable, and on mission, their teams and their cities will align with the kingdom, and therefore flourish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631804754720-C9W0Q7L7DM8DX8FVS19W/IMG_1788+2.JPG Initiatives - Serving The City The kingdom of light is the antithesis of the dominion of darkness. Jesus states quite clearly that he did not come to be served but to serve. The good news of the Gospel, then, is so much more than preaching a message of hope with our mouths, it is also taking action in our communities. The gospel teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and we do this because Jesus Christ first loved us. So, by connecting leaders through local city-networks, we aim to create and promote initiatives that transform our region, through the care of each person, each neighborhood and each city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631804709039-AKAUY36RZZ9ZKS2BDNOS/pexels-luis-quintero-2014775.jpg Initiatives - PRAYER The work of kingdom saturation must be fueled by prayer. We believe that prayer is foundational to our vision of: kingdom flourishing in cities throughout Cascadia. Saturate is committed to regularly praying for our region, our cities, our neighborhoods, our businesses, our churches, our families, and truly every person in the Puget Sound. We believe praying to the Triune God is a privilege and a work, so we urge and equip local leaders and their teams to pray for their cities with expectant hearts and with disciplined petitions. https://saturatethecity.com/about daily 0.75 2025-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631795943826-28PXRFH40FZFC3XRJOIV/IMG_2051%2B2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631873163352-3SKC0P3WCM1SSXL4PW9W/COLOUR+3.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/78d2255d-88a6-4d4f-896a-ce5da3b355cf/vancilkatara.jpg About - Our Story Let’s Try Something Different He (Jesus) said, “Throw the net off the right side of the boat and see what happens.” — John 21:6 (The Message) We live in a moment where old ministry models often struggle to connect with people. Our culture is shifting rapidly, and many of us are sensing the same call: it’s time to listen afresh to Jesus—and try something different. That’s why Saturate the City began - with a simple posture of curiosity and obedience. Like the disciples who heard Jesus’ invitation to cast their nets on the other side of the boat, we’re asking: What if we did ministry differently? What if we stopped trying to go it alone and instead built networks of mutual support, where leaders are encouraged, equipped, and empowered to love their cities well? What if Jesus-centric leaders across our cities, and the broader PNW, prayed, strategized, and acted on behalf of their cities and each other? What if we began to see our cities—not as isolated places—but as interconnected parts of a greater regional movement of God? We believe transformation happens when people are discipled in the way of Jesus—and when leaders of every sphere are discipled to bring Kingdom values into the systems and structures of our communities. Our vision is to see Pacific Northwest cities saturated with the presence of Jesus. That happens when we return to the original ways of Jesus: making disciples who make disciples, serving with humility, seeking to influence the systems of our communities for the Kingdom, and living in Spirit-empowered unity across our region. We don’t have all the answers—but we’re committed to throwing the nets on the other side, together. And we believe something beautiful will happen when we do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064207364-PPNGPGNY2OO7IMUNL3UF/davidsonbldg.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631800815320-2ET0H49OT0EOCI2VP4XS/IMG_2841.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631800819557-2RBRUL47DCYGR9NN2PGX/Screen%2520Shot%25202021-08-27%2520at%25204.26.01%2520PM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1631800817254-JPSVJ3MRKLFY40PT7Y0X/IMG_2968.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064204317-2KUIJACC289HHVHGBZ01/vancilkatara.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064281344-4G5A29V5TR8YUMQGJDC6/spokane.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064224832-6OYKKLHRBYOSLETONQPA/joshwhiteevsummit.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064348203-XR03GFRUHFEG2KY4WLHL/keithand.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064476405-49GWXGK4HAX0TG2WJR8O/prayer.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064226360-PVYCFHD35VW9KYFMVUJ6/chrisgerrybrashires.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/1754064562498-5FX0T4VJ8NFAQZ5FPAPG/phoenixseattlejpg.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612cdc990c946b57895b70b9/16a3eae2-6a6f-4f58-86f3-2252743f6edf/Brian+Muchmore+-+Final.jpg About - Brian Muchmore Network Director Brian is a passionate follower of Jesus, a husband, and a father.
