The site was purchased by Imagine Housing, a nonprofit affordable housing developer, on January 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine Housing plans to build approximately 100 affordable apartment homes on the property, creating housing opportunities for families who would otherwise be unable to afford to live in Bellevue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful for the partnership with Imagine Housing and for their commitment to building homes that strengthen the fabric of Bellevue. It\u2019s a blessing to know this land will serve our neighbors for generations to come,\u201d says Pastor Rich Fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sale reflects St. Peter\u2019s long-standing commitment to community well-being and housing stability. Rather than maintaining an underutilized property, the congregation chose a path that aligns its resources with a clear missional purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This milestone coincides with a significant transition for the congregation. St. Peter\u2019s recently merged with Bellevue First United Methodist Church to form Hope United Methodist Church. As a newly unified community, Hope UMC celebrates this moment with gratitude for the good it will make possible for families and the broader Bellevue community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about Hope United Methodist Church is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopeumc.net\">www.hopeumc.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"402\" data-attachment-id=\"24663\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/greaternw.org\/news\/st-peters-umc-completes-property-sale-for-affordable-housing-in-bellevue\/st-peters-site-plan-proposal\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?fit=800%2C462&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,462\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"St Peters Site Plan Proposal\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?fit=696%2C402&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?resize=696%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?resize=300%2C173&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?resize=768%2C444&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?resize=727%2C420&amp;ssl=1 727w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greaternw.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/St-Peters-Site-Plan-Proposal.jpg?resize=696%2C402&amp;ssl=1 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Images are conceptual renderings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After three years of prayerful discernment and planning, St. Peter\u2019s United Methodist Church has completed the sale of its Bellevue property to Imagine Housing.
