Our Mission
We exist for the glory of God and the good of the Coast.
Our Focus
Bible
Coastlands is ALL ABOUT JESUS. We are committed to Bible preaching. We believe the Bible is a story about Jesus. Every week our aim is to make the point of the text the point of the sermon.
Community
Community is essential in following Jesus. We focus on doing life in community with another. This is reflected through our emphasis on Small Groups. At Coastlands we gather on Campus on Sunday and we gather in homes throughout the week.
Mission
From Buellton to Morro Bay, our desire is to reach the Central Coast with the gospel of Jesus.
