Worship Times: Saturday 5:30, Sunday 10:30 a.m.
At South Shore, we feel that it's our responsibility to make it easy for you to come to church. We want you to be able to experience the great music, thought-provoking messages, friendly people and relaxed atmosphere that are a part of South Shore. And we know that your first time at a church, any church, brings up some questions.
The music of at South Shore Community Church is an expression of our joy and devotion to the Savior. It is also an expression of the times in which the congregation has come to age. Most music sets are carried by a guitar-based band comprised of electric lead, bass, acoustic, synthesizer or electric piano, 2 or 3 percussionists and vocals.
If you grew up listening to a stereo rather than a radio, you will like the music style at South Shore.
We hope to have the opportunity for the South Shore family to welcome your family next weekend. We have activities for all age groups and provide an opportunity for each family member to experience God through the Bible and other people just like you....
You don't have to believe in God to go to church. You don't have to know anything about God or the Bible to go to church. You don't have to clean up, dress up, or "get your act together" before you arrive. Come as you are.
Each weekend we worship God and learn about Christ. Many in attendance are just checking out this church thing to see what it is about. Some turned away from church in the past and are just trying to find out if they should give God another try. Some are at the end of what they know to do and are just hoping that God still cares. Others celebrate what God has done for them.
It doesn't matter where you are on your spiritual journey or if you haven't even started it yet. You are welcome at South Shore, just as you are, with all the baggage of your life and with all of your questions. We would love to explore with you. Hope to see you this Saturday night or Sunday morning.
If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. (1 Timothy 4:6)
The South Shore Community Church Statement of Faith summarizes our beliefs as a church. While our style of worship, approaches to evangelism, methods of discipleship, and avenues of ministry may seem innovative, our faith is rooted and grounded in Jesus Christ who is "the same yesterday, and today, and forever." Therefore, the sole authority for our theology, faith, and practice is Jesus Christ whose will is revealed in the Bible.

South Shore has a Security Team of individuals who have been trained and equipped to secure our campus during both our Saturday night and Sunday morning services.
If you're visiting, we hope that our service is a gift to you. If South Shore is not your home church or if you are just "kicking tires," we prefer that you not contribute any money to our offering. Our offering time allows those who call South Shore home to give back to God a portion of the financial blessings He has given to them. We will not make you wear a visitor badge, stand up to be introduced, or singled out in any way. We want you to remain as anonymous as you desire so that you can stay well within your comfort zone. Regardless of your choice to remain stealth or become more visible, we encourage you to visit our church over several weeks to see what's going on at South Shore.
Our Pastors and Ministry Leaders are called to coach. They are called by God "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ" (Eph. 4:12). In order to live out this equipping mandate, each one of our key leaders are constantly in the process of building up teams. No pastor or ministry leader does the work alone; we follow the example of Jesus who built a team, gave them opportunities to gain experience, learn from mistakes and experience the power available through Jesus.
South Shore believes strongly in the value of service. However, many of the countries leading mega-churches have learned a valuable lesson. It is possible to serve in the church tirelessly for many years and not grow spiritually. Service is not a substitute for growth, nor does it inevitably lead to growth in and of itself. We encourage you to visit our Spiritual Development page and learn about our discipleship pathway at South Shore. Don't serve at the expense of developing your walk with God. However, once you have begun to develop in your walk with God, service is an important outlet for a growing faith. Without opportunities to serve we can become stagnant.
Another key to our Spiritual Development plan is discovering how God has wired you. God has given you unique talents and abilities from birth, and a second installment after you have come to Christ called Spiritual Gifts. Serving outside of your talents and Spiritual Gifts can lead to great frustration. Take time to learn how you are wired before you plug in.
