I trust in Jesus Christ as my only Savior and Lord, and I earnestly desire to live my life in obedience to Him.
•
I have made public profession of faith in Jesus Christ, and I am a member in good standing of His church.

The first offering will be directed toward our Local Operating Budget (LOB), and the second Benevolence offering will go to the local church.

Pastor Search Team The Pastor Search Team (PST) is diligently and prayerfully working to identify our next pastor. Meeting every two weeks, they have received several nominations and applications and are working through those that have been received thus far. There is much to consider in this process, and the PST asks for your ongoing prayers that God will provide wisdom, clarity and direction. The PST is comprised of the following dedicated people: Co-Chairs: Jeff Boersema / Karen Heys; Kendra Buist, John DeKoekkoek, Mandy Faber, Wolter Korf, Dan Kredit, Jan Vander Linden, Pete Van Dyke, and Sue Visser. If you have a potential candidate in mind or would like to contact the team, please send an email to them at pastorsearch@seattlecrc.org.

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered
community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers.
Reformed…
Church…
Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
