Shoreline has been my church home for 30 years. It's the perfect place for people who want to grow…read morein their faith, but also very welcoming to people who may just be seeking. 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.

You can be prayed for after the service in a prayer room, and I get it but when did it become so bad to walk up and get on your knees and pray why the pastor gives a sermon, why isn't is OK for the elders to walk up and began to pray right there for you, and your follow members If that is what is needed. Everything is so hidden and done backwards. I'm old school and love the Pentecostal way. I'm just a Christian a believer in God, and I know when you walk in the house of the lord you should feel his presents, and I don't here, again just so dead, and so is the music is dead!
