Coastlands began with a group of people praying, talking, and listening to what Jesus is doing on the Central Coast. We held our first Sunday morning service on Sunday, January 8, 2012. The founding pastor, Cody Busick, grew Coastlands from an intimate group of passionate people meeting in a home to an intimate group of passionate people meeting in an elementary school auditorium. In March of 2014
, Cody and his family felt called to pastor a church in southern California. In July of 2014, Chris and Sarah Failla, who had recently moved back to California after serving as missionaries in China, were ordained as the new pastors. Throughout Coastlands' journey, we have remained committed to being a genuine, participatory, Kingdom-focused community of people. There is a key scripture that we believe speaks of God’s heart for Morro Bay and the Central Coast. It is Psalm 97:1…
"The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!"
Encounter - Experience - Encourage
Our first priorities are to ENCOUNTER God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and to be encountered by them. We desire these encounters individually and collectively, on Sundays and throughout the week. We EXPERIENCE community in a warm, friendly, vulnerable environment. We believe experiencing community reveals some of the deepest truths about who we are and who God is. We ENCOURAGE one another in our identities, in our daily walks with God, and in our Kingdom adventures, whether they are 9-5 jobs or specific ministry projects.
