Ministries and Services

  • Shoreline Christian Counseling
    Help for today’s problems…

    Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." John 8:31, 32
    This freedom Jesus promised 2000 years ago is still available today. God's Word is the blueprint through which we can better understand ourselves, deal with our problems and have the most fulfilling life possible. If you desire to get to the core issues of your struggle and then carefully understand how the principles of the Bible can be applied to those issues, you should consider this counseling process.

  • Justice for Children International
    Child • Sex • Trafficking…These three words should never be used in the same sentence let alone be a reality. But for millions of the world’s most vulnerable citizens these words define their childhood descent into sexual slavery. Many are lured away by false promises, some sold by relatives, countless others abducted; all suffer an assault on their dignity, freedom and safety.

    Justice for Children International works toward the abolition of child sex trafficking and exploitation through advocacy, prevention and aftercare. JFCI trains aftercare workers, multiplies safehomes, aids socioeconomic development programs in high-risk communities and provides a voice for these victims of modern-day slavery.
