In December 2020, four pastors began a church with a simple, shared vision: the Gospel is a story about family.
It's a story about how Jesus invites us into our true family, unites us all as brothers and sisters, redeems relationships across our earthly families, compels us to invite people into this family, and gives us a vision of our ultimate family reunion in the new heaven and new earth.
With this in their minds and in their hearts, these pastors prayed and planned; they sought wisdom, support, and help to begin Coastline in backyards, over Zoom, and everywhere in between. It wasn't always easy. It wasn't always glamorous. But then again., when is family ever those things?
There were Launch Teams, livestreams, pre-taped services, socially-distanced meetings, and sporadic events until Easter 2021, when Coastline met in person at a local high school. Over 500 people came and saw the vision of family lived out as we celebrated the resurrection of our Savior and the birth of a new church. From that point on it was clear: God is doing good things at Coastline.

The future is bright for Coastline.
We started meeting weekly in person in June of 2021, and moved to Sunday mornings at 11:30am last August and since then the growth, and excitement has been incredible. We've launched both youth and children's ministries, weekly community groups, and even had our latest Easter service at Veteran's Park! People have been baptized, blessed, and brought deeper into relationship with God and one another. The family is growing each and every single day, and we're consistently amazed at God's faithfulness. This June marks our 2 year anniversary, and also finds us moving from a church "plant" to an official church in the Covenant denomination.
There's no question that the best is yet to come, and we would absolutely love if you joined us on the journey. God is forming this community to be Boldly Biblical, Fully Family, Spirit Seeking, and Wholly Worshiping. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that family?
