Seacoast is one church with many locations, and we believe one of those locations can be right where you are.
One of the incredible things about the time we live is that the Church is not limited by buildings or geography. We love gathering together in person, but that isn’t possible for everyone, all the time. Our hope is that Seacoast at Home gives everyone the chance to gather together in worship, connect with others, and find resources that will encourage and enrich them.

Think about what a weekend experience looks like at home.
Clear out distractions.
Remove any barriers to worship and learning. Find a space in your home and set it up to be warm and inviting. Include the kids and turn up the volume! Worship is for everyone.
Practice hospitality.
Whether you are able to experience service with a couple of friends, or whether we’re all staying in our homes for a season, find ways to get to know the people you are worshipping with, even if it’s all online.
Set the tone.
Be the leader in your home. Help everyone stay focused on the service and be ready afterwards to answer questions.

Prayer

Communion
