How It All Started
In the Fall of 2008, James and Kirsten Pendleton stepped out to follow God's leading to start a church in Martin County that focused on relationships. A passionate relationship with Jesus and authentic relationships with other believers. Over the next year and a half, a living room of friends grew to a small crowd of 40-50 people in a room. With a passionate desire for this relational community of people to share the Gospel of Jesus with our city, Coastal Life Church was organized and launched its first service on Easter 2010 in a leased warehouse building on Dixie Hwy in Stuart. The mission became clear to help people ENCOUNTER Jesus as their Savior, to EQUIP believers in their walk with Jesus, and to ENGAGE people through loving acts of service in our community and around the world.
