Our worship services are a blend of traditional and contemporary elements, designed to inspire and uplift. We offer a variety of ministries and programs for people of all ages, from children to adults, fostering spiritual growth, education, and community engagement. We are committed to living out our faith and sharing the love of Christ with the world.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
“to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”
“So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
To helping you glorify God in all things.
To disciple you in the Word so that you may Grow with God and others.
To build you up so that you can Go proclaim the gospel to the world.
We are grateful that the Lord is gracious and calls us to Himself. When one repents of their sins and recognizes Jesus as Lord and Savior, we want to encourage them in pursuing their relationship with Christ. Just like the church in Acts we want to help you take your first steps of your new life.
Coastal Church exists to Equip the Family for One Pursuit: Glorify God. As His people, we are stewards of everything God entrusts to us. This stewardship begins in our homes. Deuteronomy 6 calls believers to diligently teach their children who God is and what He has done. This familial stewardship is also the church's commision. We are a family.
As we seek to glorify God, we continually grow in our relationship with Him and others and go proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As His body, the church, we are called to gather together to worship Him. Each service is directed to give Him praise, glory, and honor. Currently, we are journeying through the Book of Acts as we see the Lord establish His Church and the role and function it plays in His Kingdom. Through the empowering of His Holy Spirit we can see how the Lord is equipping us to share the great news of His gospel and to come alongside one another in love encouraging, supporting, and correcting each other to live Holy lives.
We meet at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays.
