Just Curious....

What should I expect when I visit?

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.

What kind of music do you play?

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.

What does South Shore have for my family?

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....

What if I am not sure about God and just have some questions?

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.

What do you believe?

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.

To continue, please go to our Beliefs and Values page under the About SSCC menu.

How do you protect my child?

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.

Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?

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.

DivorceCare 2011 (10/29/2011)

Someone You Know is Hurting

It's hard to know how to help someone who is going through a divorce.  It takes a long time and a lot of work to heal the pain that comes with the break up of a marriage.

DivorceCare is a special weekly seminar and support group for people who are separated or divorced.  If you know someone going through a divorce, make sure he or she knows about DivorceCare.  It might be the best thing you could do to help.

DivorceCare will begin meeting Saturday evening, October 29th at 7:00 p.m. in the Manatee Room in the back of the Children's Building.  Please come join us.  Call David Cooper to sign up or fill out the registration form online.  For more information contact Pastor David Cooper at 362-3142 x6.
