About Mariners Church

WE ARE

CHRIST FOLLOWERS
Knowing God through Jesus is the most important thing. It’s why we’re here and why we exist.

REAL
No perfect people are allowed here. We’re authentic about our victories, struggles, joys and sorrows. That means we’re a place of grace and forgiveness and a place to come as you are and as you ‘really’ are.

CONNECTING
Jesus said our greatest witness to our community is not our music, building, or programs, but our love for each other. That means we connect in LifeGroups and in accountable and authentic relationships.

GROWING
God loves us just as we are, but He loves us too much to stay that way. Through the Bible we grow in our faith, our knowledge of God, and our understanding of how to love God and our world. We want everyone to become fully transformed, committed and reproducing Christ followers.

CHANGING
While God’s message is sacred, our methods to reach people are not. So things change.  We do this because we are missional – we primarily exist for those people God loves and are not yet part of the body of Christ.

INVESTING
Children and youth are highly valued around here and so we invest time and resources for them. It’s our vision every graduating senior on the Coastside will have heard the message of Jesus Christ.

DIFFERENT and SAME
We reflect the diverse community into which God has placed us. While we may come from different backgrounds, we become one as we worship, serve and grow together.

INVOLVED
Each Christ follower at Mariners is responsible for using their spiritual gift, time, energy, and finances for honoring God in ministry. Involvement changes the world and changes you.

COMPENSATION
Salary range $90-115,000 commensurate with experience plus benefits.
