What to expect

Our services last about one hour and include powerful worship music, engaging teaching from the Bible, and a time of reflection.

We have two identical services at 9 & 10:30am.
Plan to arrive a little early to get your kids checked in and grab a free cup of coffee before service starts.

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable! There’s no dress code.

what we believe

Coastline is a non-denominational Christian church, but whatever your faith background, you’re welcome here!

    • We believe in one God who coexists as three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (the Trinity).

    • God the Father sent Jesus into the world to offer forgiveness and eternal life.

    • Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven where He reigns with the Father. One day He will return, and history will culminate with His final victory.

    • The Holy Spirit is God's active presence in the world today. He lives within every believer, empowering them to live out God's mission.

    • The universe was created by God and was originally perfect. But through sin, humanity fell short of God's design. As a result, we live in a broken world and are separated from God.

    • Every person sins and is in need of a Savior. Our sin deserves eternal separation from God.

    • Only through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ can we be forgiven and reconciled to God.

    • Salvation is available to all who repent, believe in Jesus, are baptized, and follow Him as Savior and Lord.

    • The Church is the body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and is God's plan for reaching the world.

    • Together, we live as a family on mission: worshiping God, serving one another, and sharing the hope of Jesus with the world.

    • We practice baptism by immersion for those who believe, and we celebrate the Lord's Supper weekly as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice

    • We believe the Bible is the inspired, completely reliable, and authoritative Word of God.

    • The Bible shines light on truth and teaches us how to live God's way.
