This is a beautiful church with a fine staff. I used to live only a mile away.

We gave out 500 donuts each Sunday, and i would make 1500 cups of coffee each Sunday, using a Starbucks style coffee maker. I then visited this church one Sunday at the 7:00 am service. There were 75 worshipers at the service. The priest invited everyone present to stop by for coffee and donuts after mass. I was curious what kind of coffer maker they used at this church. So i walked to the place where coffee was being served, and only 7 people out of 75 attendees followed me for coffee. All the other 63 people got in their car and left. I saw an old fashioned coffee maker sitting there, and only 9 donuts on the table. Not the 500 donuts i used to seeing nor a big coffee makrr. I was in shock to see such a pitiful turnout. I went back to my Monterey church the following week where everyone stops by for coffee and donuts and to socialize with fellow believers. So sad to see how little socializing this churc has.

I've been attending St. Paul's for 10 years. I had never thought to add a review about my church…read moreuntil now. The congregation at St Paul's is like family. We worship together at 8:00 or 10:00 or in Spanish at 12:00 on Sunday. The 8:00 service is a reflection or devotional service. It is quiet. The 10:00 service is a musical/choir service. The 12:00 service is in Spanish and it is also musical/choir. There is not a youth group for the members who attend the 8:00 or 10:00 service, but there is catechism/youth group for the 12:00 members they meet at 11:00. On the second Tuesday of the month's the Episcopal Church Women have a monthly meeting in the hall with a brown bag lunch. During the week there is a morning prayer group at 8:30 in the church, a Christ Walk group meets to walk together at 8:45-9:00, Wednesdays there is a Senior Market with produce available at cost. A Tai Chi class is offered on Fridays. There is a women's book club meeting on the first Thursday of the month and a men's group that gets together on the first Saturday of the month. It is a small congregation but all are welcome. Children are encouraged to attend the service and it doesn't matter if they talk or even cry, their voices are beautiful the congregation! If you are looking for a welcoming place to worship St. Paul's is the church for you.

The message is delivered in a way that is easily understandable. For me, I hear it as a practical application to my daily life. The pastors and staff make it a very friendly non-judge mental environment. From the minute you walk in you feel welcome. Shoreline is a large church but has many different Bible studies and events to get involved in. This is a great way to stay more connected through Shoreline. It's also a way to meet people who are of the same mindset and are wanting to enrich their relationship with Jesus. Besides helping me to grow in my faith, I have established lifelong friendships as a result of attending Shoreline. Nina Arman

From the outside, the church looks good. They give you donuts, coffee, and a good worship team…read more There are some good folks at this church who truly love Jesus. The church is a business and ran like any other mega-church business. I've been going to Shoreline off and on for the last three years. They have all the bells and whistles and look shiny and pretty from the outside. If you're looking for connection and support of a smaller church you won't find it here. Some of the events such as the children's program in the summer are not accessible to all kids. There are no scholarships and programs available for those less privileged to have access to the program as other privileged kids. I don't feel the church is inclusive of marginalized minorities to have the ability to resources as the privileged kids and think the church can do better here. There is no support for BIPOC kids who don't have the means to attend. These kids are excluded from the community and the pews. Also, there is no benevolence fund to help members who are suffering or in need. They have a food bank and give out clothes and nothing more for those in need who are sitting in the pews. There is no support structure in place for folks struggling in the pews and no acknowledgment from the church. Support does not always mean money and they want the tithe but you are not seen or heard as a member who is suffering. The more mega the less help you can expect from them. A church of 10 will go to the ends of the earth to help you. In a church of a thousand maybe someone will bring you a casserole. Which isn't surprising. There's less of a community in a more mega church. You're just a number. A church is a community and a community should help any members who are in distress - whether this be through formal existing "emergency funds" or through informal support from other members within the organization. If someone is in that sort of situation. The church should absolutely help provide for the needs of the member. It should have nothing to do with how much the member has given in the past. So in a nutshell you decide if this is a church you want to invest your time, money, soul, and heart into.
