Parking is available in the lot directly in front of the church and also in the gravel parking lot just south of the main church building. Our hope is that parking in front of the church might be primarily used by elderly people, people with disabilities, people with small kids, or new visitors. We also ask people to not park in the Olney Community Church's parking lot, nor in front of Olney Grange, so as not to impact Sunday services or any events they may be having.

Coastline is very much a come-as-you-are church. Although a few people choose to dress more formally, this is the exception, rather than the rule. Seating is first-come-first serve (no pew assignments or reservations). It's recommended you come a bit early to get a seat for your family or group before service starts. Please reach out to our greeters or deacons (wearing name tags) if you need assistance with seating or special accomodation and we will do our best to serve you.
Prior to service starting, we are committed to praying and inviting the presence of the Lord and his blessing on the service and congregation. Our services typically begin with worship. Our worship set content varies from modernized hymns to simple worship songs to mainstream worship songs to originally written songs - all with the intent on shifting our focus on to the Lord Jesus Christ! We make opportunity for worshippers to give an offerring or tithe in person via dropbox or online. Worship is followed by the mainstay of our services: line-by-line, systematic Bible teaching. Services typically end with more worship and opportunity to receive and join in prayer with members of our prayer team.
We do offer separate Children's Ministry classes (infants - 5th grade) on a regular basis at our 11 AM services on Sundays. Classes are always staffed by two adults that have shared written testimony of their conversion and have been background checked. Classrooms are located in the breeze-way. Please reach out to our greeters or deacons (wearing name tags) if you need assistance finding classrooms and getting your kids checked in.
If you are new to the church, please introduce yourself to one of the members of the Pastoral Staff, Deacons, or Greeters as you feel led - we'd love to make your acquintance. We would encourage you to take advantage of one or more of the weekly opportunities for you and your family to be involved with people in the body of Christ and form relationships as we seek Jesus together! Please follow us on social media or join our SMS update group for updates and annoucements!
We love it that you want to serve Jesus! However, we ask people who are new to the Coastline to start by sitting and taking in Bible teaching, rather than serving at church for the first 6 months. After you've been with us consistently for 6 months, you are welcome and encouraged to apply to serve at church.
