Service Opportunity with Chapel on the Ave There will be an opportunity on Saturday August 25 to volunteer our talents at The Chapel on the Ave, the ministry location overseen by Geoff & Ashley Van Dragt. We hope to provide enough helpers to assist in improving the Fellowship Hall at the property in the U-District. This will be general labor—most of the work will involve the changing out of suspended ceiling tiles and helping remove/install light fixtures in that ceiling. More details will be forthcoming as planning progresses. Please contact Clarence Deelstra to request more information or to sign up!

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.
