About Us
Wondering who we are and what we offer?
We are an “Interdenominational Church”, which means we come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some of us have never been in church before now. The Bible is our source for decisions for both our church and our individual lives.
OUR MISSION
Loving God, Loving People, Changing Lives! Everything we do around here is focused on sharing God’s love. For we are all broken people (thanks to Adam & Eve!), but God’s love transforms us into some pretty special people. After all, we ARE made in God’s image and likeness, and He has a plan for each of our lives!
OUR VISION
Fostering a new spirit of unity in the community by sharing the love of God with all generations. You see, it’s not about our church or any church, for that matter, it’s about the Kingdom of God, your life and all of us working together to share God’s love.
A Big Welcome!
On behalf of our wonderful church family, WELCOME! You are not here by accident because God specifically brought you here to tell you how much He loves you, and frankly, so do we!
We look forward to getting to know you and to help you find out God’s plan for your life. We have a message of hope which includes:
God’s love,
not condemnation;
Faith,
not despair;
The power of His presence,
not the defeat of His absence;
The fullness of His joy,
not the emptiness of sadness;
Pastor Riley Grandell
FACTS ABOUT US
Where do you worship each Sunday and what time is your service?
Our Church Campus is conveniently located at 25300 Bernwood Dr. Bonita Springs, FL 34135.
What type of music and worship do you have?
We have a wonderful worship band and vocalists singing inspired songs to God as our gift of gratitude to Him, a sacrifice of praise that rises above personal preferences. Along with prayer, Scripture, preaching, faith stories, communion, videos, and more, music is a treasured component of The Gulf Shore Church Sunday worship experiences. We choose music that is accessible to people of different ages, backgrounds, vocal ranges, and abilities. The music repertoire at LOCC spans a bandwidth of styles that includes current worship songs, worship music from the recent past, and adapted hymns that allow everyone to enter into God’s presence through song.
How do I dress?
Please come as you feel comfortable. Since we live in a community where people dress casually every day, you can expect to see most people dressed casually on Sunday as well.
What are your sermons like?
Each week, Pastor Riley selects an important topical message that is taken a portion of Scripture. He seeks to better understand both the original meaning and the modern day application that comes from the timeless and true Word of God. You can see for yourself. Just click on “Sermons” on the navigation bar.
