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.

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.

 

  Men's Fraternity is back at a new day and time.

South Shore's Men's Fraternity will meet every  Thursday Evening. Come join a community of men who meet each week to learn how to become better husbands, fathers, men, and most importantly Christ followers. This nationally acclaimed curriculum is taught by Dr. Robert Lewis through a video venue. The session involves "man stuff" (coffee, donuts, movie clips, comedians, loud music, breaking stuff, etc), relevant teaching and then smaller accountability groups. The men's fraternity is open to anyone regardless of their religious beliefs or church affiliation. This is a great place to invite neighbors, co-workers, and friends. You can register in advance or just show up. Join the frat!

The Barbarian Way by Erwin Raphael McManus. Prepare to leave "civilized" religion behind! McManus urges you to stop conforming to the status quo---to step out of your comfort zone; unleash the raw, untamed faith within you; wield the weapons of faith, hope, and love; and risk your life for the deliverance of others. A liberating manifesto for living the Christian life!

The Land Between provides fresh biblical insight for people traveling through undesired transitions—foreclosure, unemployment, parents in declining health, post-graduate uncertainty, business failure—who are looking for hope, guidance, and encouragement. What if life’s transitions are there to remind us that God is present before, during, and after these periods?

Visioneering by Andy Stanley. Vision is a preferred future. A destination. Vision always stands in contrast to the world as it is. Visioneering, according to bestselling author Andy Stanley, is "a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction that it should be." With warm, down-to-earth practicality, Andy Stanley explores the ordinary life of Nehemiah and his God-given vision for accomplishing the exraordinary. He shows how the life of this great ancient visionary,determined to rebuild the ruined walls of Jerusalem, reveals principles that can prepare us to find and follow God's multifaceted vision for our own lives.

Work. Family. Church. Hobbies. Fitness. Housekeeping. Socializing. Sleep. With only 24 hours in each day, we simply can't fit everything in. And what we choose to cheat is a clear announcement of our values. When you come home an hour earlier, miss a round of golf, or let the dishes sit while you play with your child, you make your family feel valued and secure. Bestselling author Andy Stanley helps you restore your vision of what really matters - and guides you in making courageous decisions about your time.
