Lake Michigan Surf Story

I lived in Hawaii from 1978 to 2007 and have caught many good, no make that many great waves here. I've surfed Sunset, Laniakea, Log Cabins, Haleiwa and even Waimea Bay. The biggest surfing thrill for me has always been getting tubed. That's when you get so deep in the pocket of a wave that it breaks over your head and you are covered by the wave. It doesn't matter to me whether its small or big - when I get tubed I'm stoked. Now you're probably thinking that my first tube ride was in Hawaii. Well, if you're thinking that you're wrong.

Core Values

Our core values:

Unconditional Love—God loves each of one of us unconditionally and that is how we are to love each other. (Mark 1:40-45)

Contemporary Worship—The most important thing in worship, is to worship God from our innermost being (spirit). We use songs and instruments we can relate to. (John 4:23)

Practical and simple Bible teaching—The Bible is taught in ways we can understand and apply to our lives. (II Timothy 3:16)

Informal setting—T-shirts, shorts and slippers are OK. God looks on our hearts not our clothes. (I Samuel 16:7)

Small Group discipleship—We encourage everyone to meet in a small group to develop honest accountability and exercise their spiritual gifts to help others. (Mark 3:14 & I Corinthians 12-14)

Godly families—We build Godly families; both traditional and adopted. (Psalm 68:6)

Our Purpose

South Shore Fellowship exists to help people fulfill the great commandment (Mark 12:30-31) and the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20) through worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and evangelism.
