Our Vision

To live as God's beloved family, inviting all to experience Jesus


Our mission

To create joyful and courageous followers of Jesus

Family is a big deal to us, and being a family that loves Jesus and lives for Him is what we long for and desire to be as a community. We want to create followers of Jesus who experience that love with one another and share that love with the world around them, inviting the world to join our family.

We have four values below that we believe are the best way to create this community. You will see these values lived out in our sermon series, in our structure,  in our events, and really everything that we do.

VALUES

Boldly Biblical

We are a church who believes that the Bible reveals to us the character and purposes of God. Through its study we learn more about who He is,  who we are in relationship to Him, and our place in the great story that He is writing.

When you come to Coastline, you will experience a church who takes joy in the reading and studying of the Scriptures because we take joy in God. We boldly, passionately, and joyfully center everything we do on the word of God.

Spirit Seeking

We believe that God is active in the life of the believer through the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit. This Spirit reveals Christ, reminds us of his teaching, and transforms us until we look and act more like Jesus.

We also believe that the Holy Spirit is at work in the hearts of unbelievers, convicting, stirring, calling, and drawing people back into a restored relationship with him. As a church, we want to be a place where we are listening and ready for the Spirit's movement.

Wholly Worshipping

When you come to Coastline, you will be joining with a group of believers who live and love to worship. We worship a holy God wholly: we want to bring our full selves--heart, soul, mind, and strength--to worship (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).

For us, worship isn't just a few songs in the beginning and the end of the service. We recognize that the life of a Christian ought be defined by worship, and at Coastline we will invite our family members to orient their lives around our God, who deserves all the glory.

Fully Family

We believe that the Bible's most poignant and beautiful description of the church is that of a family. This is a captivating picture, and it has inspired us to do everything at Coastline as a family.

This is what makes us Coastline. When you arrive on a Sunday, you're not just coming to a worship service., you're coming to a family reunion that God has initiated by calling each one of us sons and daughters (2 Corinthians 6:18).
