God brings light in the darkness, hope to the hopeless, and good news in a world filled with fear. The origin of everything is God! In the beginning God spoke and illuminated the vast and chaotic void. Next, He formed a people and a nation. God also had a plan, a vision, a covenant for His people. As we follow Him, He will continue to bring hope in the darkest of places. As we enter a new year, join Shoreline Community Church on a journey of hope as we walk through The Story, a chronological journey through the Bible. We will meet the God who made everything and discover that He still shines light in the darkest of places.
