Worship Times: Saturday 5:30, 7:00 p.m., Sunday 10:40 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. The following pages contain a summary of our beliefs, along with some explanatory comments to help ...
South Shore employs a police officer to remain on campus each Saturday night during our services. The primary responsibility of the security team is the protection of our children ...
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.
Welcome to Innovate! Innovate means to change by introducing something new and that is exactly why Innovate exists – to see teenagers lives changed by the newness of Jesus Christ (Lam 3:22-23).
We want to help you build your roadmap to success through the compass of a relationship with Christ. We understand what you face at home, in the halls, and in your relationships. We know how hopeless life can look at times and how easy it is to assume that you’ll become what you see.
We also know that's not what you want and we are convinced that God has something better for your life… We exist to help you connect with God in a new way so that He himself can Innovate your life…
On Wednesday Nights, our middle and high school students are currently meeting at Chad and Kristie Varga’s house. For directions and more information, email Chad Varga.
Chad and Kristie Varga have given their lives to reaching teenagers! Together they passionately believe that the greatest need facing our country is the neglect of this next generation!
If there is anyone who understands the pain of this generation, Chad does…and almost 2 million people have heard his incredible story of faith! Everything in Chad’s life said failure as he grew up in a broken home watching his mother violently abuse alcohol and drugs. Chad found his escape through basketball and went on to star at the University of Pittsburgh and Professionally.
At 25 years old, and at the peak of his basketball career, Chad began to feel that God had a different purpose for his life and that maybe the pain of his past could be used to make a difference in the lives of other people. Chad made the ultimate decision to lay down the professional basketball career he had worked so hard for. Chad is now the founder and president of InspireNow, Inc., a non-profit organization established to reach the middle and high school students of our nation’s public schools through character development. Chad believes that there is greatness in every teenager and his calling is to help them achieve their God given purpose.
Chad's wife Kristie is equally called to help teenager girls grow in their walk with God. Kristie is genuinely excited to come alongside young women and help them realize their God given potential.
WOW! Innovate’s first meeting together at Chad and Kristie Varga’s house was an unforgettable night! 74 students and more than 40 adult leaders crammed into a living room for a night that will never be forgotten! Success is when preparation meets opportunity! Those who were there – know what that means! The Core - You’re living in preparation mode right now!
Innovate has rented out the Igloo (Ellenton Ice & Sports Complex) ice skating rink! All middle & high school students, their families & adult youth leaders are invited to join us for a night of ice skating, Christian music and fun!
Transportation is NOT provided! Please make your own arrangements.
