Coastal Church is composed of a wide variety of nationalities, ages, income levels and people in different stages of their spiritual walk. We are stong unified church based on our common faith unified by:

• Our Salvation (Our faith in what God has done for us)
• Our Statement (Our understanding as to why we exist as a church)
  
• Our Strategy (Our passion to fulfill our purpose)
  
• Our Structure (Our commitment to when and where we fulfill our role to serve)
  

The Equipping Bases make it easier and faster for you to learn more about Coastal Church, and to find out more about yourself and your ministry within the local church.
