There will definitely have to be another episode about this... we barely scratched the surface!

It's the FIRST EPISODE OF THE COASTLINE PODCAST!  As we head towards our launch, we wanted to look back on this "pre-launch" season and discuss where we've seen God move. In part one of two, Richelle, Michael, and Hunter discuss the journey they took to get to Coastline, how they hope God moves, and deodorant. We are so excited to launch - see everyone on Sunday!

In our second first episode, Shawn, Garrick, and Hunter discuss the story of Coastline, all of the surprises of planting a church, and the rejected names for Coastline. We loved these look backs as they get us even more excited to launch forward to weekly meetings! See you all on Sunday at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at 4 and 6pm!

We are SO excited to announce that we are launching a weekly podcast! Join us each Thursday as we have conversations about how to be boldly biblical, wholly worshipping, Spirit seeking, and fully family.
