Welcome to Terrace Shores

We have a relaxed, enjoyable, and gracious atmosphere while maintaining a heart of worship and love for God. Sunday services consist of Bible teaching, worship music, and prayer.

Bible Teaching
Our pastors teach from the Bible each week in a way that is interesting and motivating. They spend about 35 minutes bringing God’s message to us–verse by verse. For our sermon series, click the icon.

Worship Music
All of our services blend contemporary and traditional worship styles, usually with 15-20 minutes of modern worship plus a couple of hymns. We have found joy in mutually submitting to one another’s musical preferences and praising the Lord together with all our hearts.
Prayer
We pray together several times during each Sunday service, including having a time for anyone to publicly share their prayer requests.
