We have attended this church for almost 3 years. The bible studies on Wednesday evenings are verse…read moreby verse, chapter by chapter, thru the specific book currently being studied/taught. The study notes are detailed. The teaching does not do a lot of off topic speculation and mis directional debating. Bible studies here pretty much stay on topic with doctrinally accurate and deep Biblical teaching. Long time, "mature" born again Christians will appreciate the "adult" food nature of the teaching.... The Sunday morning sermons are even more of this serious spiritual food, from deep and doctrinally sound Bible teaching from Pastor Randal Shanks. The preaching and teaching from the pastor's son Timothy Shanks, and deacon Luke Houston, and the many visiting missionaries and preachers is also doctrinally sound and superb!! Growing in the knowledge of Christ and His Word, and for lives given to obedience to HIM, is this church's highest ministry. Corporate worship is wonderful! True Godly worship. Everyone here sings with FULL lifted voices! (It's not contemporary) But its loud! There are many other nice churches I could go to get my "ears tickled", get "loved on", get some happy "atta boys". But, when I come to church here, I really get serious, spiritual "bible food". This church faithfully preaches the Gospel of Christ for salvation and is serious about living in obedience to Christ's Word. I grew up in Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa and have been part of many good churches over the years and I love this church!!

Not what it seems…read more.. On the surface the building, music and general atmosphere might appear to align with conservative Christian values and a relatively normal Baptist church. We thought so too and even after ten years of overlooking the "oddities" we finally opened our eyes to see through the smoke screen and realise things here are far from Christian and we are overjoyed to be far and gone from this place. From the top down you'll be subjected to immense pressure, dominance, and attempts to control you, your thoughts, your job, your family and even how you spend your time. If you don't attend enough of their events and services your absences will be brought up against you, yes, your attendance is diligently tracked. If you have an opinion different from the pastor, you will either be dismissed or pressured to get in line and change your position. Kind appearances mask constant judging of your profession, or your clothing, your relationships and your values. If your values don't align with the pastor, be prepared for focused sermons aimed squarely at you and yours until you get the message from "god" to re-adjust yourself to match the pastor and his little minions. If this sounds like legalism, it is, in the extreme. You're expected to conform to the arbitrary rules and regulations that the pastor creates and then changes at will without church body consent to fit his own purposes. This includes the church doctrine, statements of faith on their website and any other material that gets distributed long enough to try and attract people to come and hear the music. Which in itself is perhaps the most decent part of the services. But don't expect to be a part of it or any other form of personal ministry, because that's just for the pastor's family. Other members aren't "qualified" to lead, pray, play music, teach, or help in any way other than the menial tasks that are beneath the ruling aristocracy. Which basically means if you're hoping to use your gifts for the service of God, bring your cleaning gloves or gardening tools because the rest of ministry could only be done by this pastor and those worthy in his eyes. After years of trying to look past the lackluster preaching, condescending comments and general disrespect, we finally had our eyes opened to the lies, the hypocrisy, the detrimental fundamentalism and general lack of loving Christian spirit. As the pastor knowingly lied directly to me regarding multiple issues and then attempted to blame and attack my spouse, I shook the dust off my feet and happily walked out, never to turn back. So, unless you're able to remain insulated and or ignorant from the dominance and ego of the pastor and simply enjoy the music and few attendees who do try to be true Christians, my advice is to steer clear and save yourself and your loved ones the host of issues and falseness that surround the leadership at this so called "community church."

So many wonderful things to list about Shoreline Calvary but I'll just mention only a few…read more 1- The solid teaching system of the Bible: Book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, leaving nothing out because that's the LORD'S instruction letters, regardless whether we want to hear it or not. 2- The love the church shows towards each other and the community, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poor, when a family has a new baby or need help moving... 3- The humble-hearted, approachable, God-fearing, pastor Ed, who makes himself no better than others and coming from being a missionary himself, his love for missionaries around the world is no secret. After the Sunday service is over I can't wait for the following Sunday morning to return and "meet with my family". A very rich church when it comes to "love God and love others", a theme we practice as well.
