The Shoreline has done outreach in over 20 countries throughout the years. As a church, we are always trying to be aware of where the Lord might lead us to next. We work to support and encourage churches or missionaries in these locations since they are the ones committed long-term, and we partner together in the work.
We hope you’ll make plans to join us for one or more of our remaining trips this year! We value families on mission together, so most of what we offer is family-friendly. We hope you'll find opportunities that fit for you or your family, and that you will join us on mission to the nations!
October 17-27: Israel Trip (a few more spots left!)
December 20: Tijuana Day Trip (Christmas party)
We travel regularly to Tijuana to build homes and churches and bring God’s love to families through games, crafts, and shared meals. We also provide school sponsorships to kids in at least three communities for $360/year for K-12 and $600/year for university. We always work through the local church there and have relationships with several communities in the Tijuana area. If you’d like to know when we’re heading down for a day trip or a weekend trip, or would like information on sponsoring a kid in need, please sign up for our email list.
As many refugees are being resettled in our area, we have an incredible opportunity to come alongside and welcome them in Jesus’ name. Can you imagine the transition to life in a completely new culture? We find teams of volunteers and get them trained to surround both individual refugees and refugee families with practical assistance in the form of securing basic necessities, English language support, school enrollment for kids, job search and more. Please pray with us for these precious people as they transition to life in a different culture, and for our teams who serve them. We are always looking for leads on affordable housing options for our refugee friends.
We’ve been serving in a remote village in Veracruz, Mexico since we built a playground there in 2015. Our goal was to reach an unreached group who had no consistent spiritual care. In the years that followed, we’ve run medical, dental, and vision clinics and treated scores of patients; we’ve shared Jesus with hundreds of kids through games, crafts, and Bible lessons; and we’ve helped bolster the local church’s presence in the community through construction, a water project, and encouragement and skills training for the pastors. Once a place of discouragement and hard soil, this special place is becoming fruitful as a community now feels seen and loved. People are walking closer with Jesus as a result of God using our “yes” over the long term.
Through our partnership with Grafted Ministries, we offer yearly trips to Israel and study guide classes to teach us what the Bible says about the Jewish people, why they are important in God’s eyes, and our Christian responsibility toward them. God’s redemptive plan for the world started with the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. The trips help the Bible to come alive as we read passages on site and serve the people there. The class explores how we as Christians are grafted into this plan, and where that leaves the Jews.
We’re in the middle of a 5-year partnership with Life Community Services in the township of George, South Africa. We’ve hosted the founders, Philip and Maryna DeVries, a couple of times, and we’ve traveled there with mission teams to support and encourage. In 2023, we built a playground, which has had a significant impact on the ministry and school. In 2024, we ran a holiday club (similar to VBS) for 300+ kids. This July 2025 we hosted another holiday club. It has been a joy to link arms together with the staff at Life as we share the gospel with kids experiencing severe poverty and share Jesus' love with them in tangible ways!
Every Spring, we experience God’s prophetic calendar through the Passover Seder and are reminded how Jesus fulfilled all four Spring Feasts in his first coming. If you’ve enjoyed the Passover Seder, join us for “A Night Under the Stars” to celebrate the Fall Feasts and learn how Jesus will fulfill the remaining three in his second coming. It will be a beautiful outdoor evening where you’ll see and feel what a traditional Sukkot would’ve been like. A Mediterranean dinner will be served and KidsCare provided. We’d love to see you there!
