Upcoming Events

Families with students entering grades K-4 are invited to a free evening of fun at Shores Church. We will have the tropical bounce house set up, yard games, and a visit from Kona Ice!
What better way to see the friends you met during Rainforest Falls and reconnect with classmates you might not have seen this summer!?
September 9 | Back2School Blowout!
All students in grades 5–12 are invited to join us on Wednesday, September 9, from 6:00–8:00 PM at Shores Church for an evening of fun, games, food, and a chance for students to reconnect with friends and get the new school year started off right!
This is a great opportunity for students to come together, have some fun, and kick off the new school year with their friends. We’ll also be sharing some of the exciting things we have planned for SHORES Students this year!
Most importantly, we’re excited to see how God is going to work in and through our students this year. Our prayer is that students would grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus, discover who God has created them to be, and be equipped to know Jesus and make Jesus known. We believe God has great things in store for this next year!
