OUR FOCUS - NEXT STEP JOURNEY

Moving people one step closer to Jesus.

KNOW GOD

God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants a relationship with us. Our weekend services are where we focus on that relationship.

LOVE PEOPLE

One of the ways that God designed for us to love people is to have people in our life to help us on the journey. Connecting with others in Genesis Small Groups is a practical and enjoyable way to find that kind of life-changing community.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

God designed you to make a difference in the lives of others. When we do, the Bible tells us we will experience joy. At Genesis, we help you get connected on a serve team to use your time, talents, and gifts to love where you live.

GROW DEEPER

We want to see everyone grow deeper in their relationship with God by caring well for their soul. This is the reason, we encourage and empower you through our next step journey, and soul care habits.

If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.
Proverbs 29:18

Our Values

THIS IS US

JESUS OVER EVERYTHING

Everything we do is centered, motivated, and fueled by pointing people to Jesus. It is through Jesus that sin is forgiven, people are welcomed into the family of God, and the world will one day be made new.

PEOPLE ARE OUR HEART

Jesus did not die for a building. He died and rose again for people. Our heart is for ALL people. All people are loved by Jesus. All people have a next step with Jesus. Every step matters. Every step counts. 

PRAYER IS OUR PRIORITY

Prayer is not a last resort, but a first priority for us. We believe that a prevailing church is a prayerful church.

SERVING IS OUR JOY

We believe the greatest leadership is demonstrated through servanthood. If you’re too big to serve then you are too small to lead. Every leader is a servant first. From the parking lot to the pulpit, everyone serves. Every role is different but they are all important. We consider it a joy to serve!

FOR IS OUR MINDSET

For too long the church has been known by what it wants from people rather than what it wants for people. We are are FOR people. What is even better news is that God is FOR people. When it comes to leading and serving, we have a FOR mindset. 

EXCELLENCE IS OUR SPIRIT

Excellence honors God and inspires people. We give our best so that all people will be encouraged, led, and inspired to take their next step with Jesus.

GENEROSITY IS OUR PRIVILEGE

Generosity is about giving more than what is required. We see generosity as a privilege. We’re generous with our time, talents and treasure. We go first in our giving. God has given richly towards us, it’s our honor to give back to Him.

WORSHIP IS OUR LIFESTYLE

Worship is our life’s response to the goodness and grace of God. We worship God through singing, working, loving, stewarding, and more. Worship is a way of life for us.

Church at the Shores proudly serves Gulf Shores, Foley, Orange Beach, Elberta, Baldwin County, and throughout the World.
