Shoreline Church, a dynamic family church has finally found and contracted to purchase a new church home, Shoreline had its humble beginnings over 6 years ago in December of 2002, in the Pastor’s home in Old Saybrook. Within a few months Shoreline rented the Saybrook Middle School Auditorium. After 3 years in the auditorium, in March of 2006 they moved again into a beautifully renovated leased facility located in the Old Saybrook Business Park at 139 Mill Rock Road East.  Currently Shoreline is meeting in a temporary location: The Old Saybrook Estuary (Senior Center) 220 Main Street, Old Saybrook, CT.  Sunday Service is at 10am.  Wednesday night Worship Service at 7:00pm is being held at Grace Church, 336 Main Street, Old Saybrook, CT. 

Closing on the new Building is scheduled for Wednesday March 31, 2010.  Shoreline is hoping to move into the new building sometime in July of 2010.

Pastor Mike said, “We’re very excited and anticipating great things that God wants to accomplish on the shoreline and the surrounding area. We want our community to know the peace and joy of God, and for them to know the comfort and healing that He provides.”

 When asked, “How did Shoreline grow so quickly, Pastor Mike said “God is the same, He never changes, but man has moved himself away from a loving God. We at Shoreline demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. What better way to show He loves us? It’s that kind of love that brings growth”

 Concerning worship, Pastor Mike also said that, “worship should not be a boring ritual of religion, but an exciting encounter of the heart with a living God. In His presence we’re changed into His likeness”. The Pastor went on to add that they would be using “contemporary methods for contemporary people”. In describing their church service Pastor Mike said, “In worship we use modern music, video and eventually drama,” he also said that, “Our ministry in general is be focused much more on the family as a whole than is typical in most churches. We really desire to see families grow and thrive together as well as even minister together as a family.

When asked to describe Shoreline Church in a “nutshell” Pastor Mike said, “We’re Bible based, family focused, contemporary blended in worship style, we have a positive message of God’s Goodness and His desired life for us.” 

Since you’re still fairly new, do have need of any leadership? “Oh yes, we’re looking for people that desire to be used by God in the local church. We need like-minded people of all kinds, no ministry experience necessary, but especially needed are those interested in music, musicians, singers and musical technicians. We have a state of the art sound system, perfect for bands of all sizes. We also need experienced persons desiring to work with a dynamic teen’s ministry.
