Congregation

The Church by the Sea was founded in 1945. Our congregation is diverse, inclusive and intergenerational. We are engaged in a continual spiritual search for a deeper meaning of life. We believe that there are always new opportunities and experiences to share, more to learn, and fresh understanding to be gained. Members and friends of the congregation are seeking to learn and live by the will of God; committed personally and corporately to being there for others, in caring and serving ways; trying to bring wholeness, dignity, and justice to all people by sharing the “Good News of Jesus Christ.”

We invite you to join us for worship on Sunday mornings!
