Our Story
Who we are, where we come from, and where we're heading as a church family
Who we are
Here's the deal, Shore Hope cares about one thing more than anything else: Jesus Christ. Shore Hope is a family of individuals that have found hope in Jesus, and simply want as many people as possible to experience that exact same freedom.
Where we come from
Shore Hope - Redland Bay started in 2017 when a few individuals and families came together as the fruit of years of prayer by the Redlands Presbyterian congregations. They shared a heart for the Southern Redlands and saw a growing community that needed real hope. Together they imagined a church that loved God, and loved people like God loves people - where everyone had a seat at the table regardless of personal history, family background, ethnicity, or gender. We hosted our first gathering in mid 2018.
But with Shore Hope - Victoria Point we have a longer history of serving Jesus in the Southern Redlands that stretches back to the 1960’s. Shore Hope has had one desire in all that time: to be people who show that we know Jesus and love him.
Where we're headed
What's the bottom line? Shore Hope is committed to growing as a part of the growing community that spans the Southern Redlands. We are fostering a church family built around hope. Hope for the future. Hope when things are good. Hope when things are hard. Hope because of Jesus and his death on the cross. And as we move forward as a church family, living this gospel message and giving this gospel message remain at the center of who we are as followers of Christ.
