A Place for His Presence //
A People for His Glory.

The Vision Behind the By the Sea Ministry Center
What if there was a place where the presence of God was the priority?
A place where the weary could find rest. Where the hungry could be filled. Where the lost and broken could encounter the One who restores, heals, and makes all things new.
A place where you could walk through the doors on an ordinary afternoon, find a quiet corner to pray, open your Bible, share a cup of coffee, or simply sit in His presence.
No event to attend. No agenda to follow. Just room to come and be refreshed.
A place where biblical resources are available, genuine community is cultivated, and people find a family to belong to.
Not another church. Not another ministry competing for attention.
But a place devoted to hosting His presence and serving His people.
This is the heart behind the By the Sea Ministry Center.

A place where His Glory rests

There is a longing in our hearts to see a place established where the presence of God is not simply welcomed for a moment, but honored, cultivated, and given room to dwell.
A place where the hungry can come and be filled. Where the weary can find rest. Where the lost and broken can encounter the One who restores, heals, and makes all things new.

A place of refreshing.

As we've traveled, ministered, and gathered with people from different places and walks of life, we've seen just how deeply people are longing for His presence. And with that longing has come a growing vision: What if there was a place they could come home to?

A landing place for those seeking prayer, encouragement, biblical resources, and genuine community. A place where someone could walk through the doors carrying the weight of the world and leave having encountered the presence of God.

Yes, there will be opportunities for teaching, equipping, and discipleship. But at the very heart of this vision is something beautifully simple:
A place where His glory rests and His people are refreshed.

And as the ministry continues to travel, preach, and serve beyond these walls, we envision this center becoming a home for the growing By the Sea family. A place where relationships are nurtured, community is cultivated, and people from near and far can find a place to belong.

Not a replacement for the local church, but a place of refreshing that strengthens the people who make up His Church.
A place where His presence is the priority, and everything else flows from there.


Come as you are / Stay Awhile

Imagine a place where the doors are open, the coffee is warm, and the presence of God is the priority.
Where you don't need to register for an event or wait for the next scheduled gathering to find a place of refreshing.

Maybe you need a quiet place to pray.
Maybe you're walking through a difficult season and simply need somewhere to sit, breathe, and seek the Lord.
Maybe you're hungry to grow in His Word, looking for resources to strengthen your faith, or longing for genuine community with people who love Jesus.

Or maybe you just need a place to be still.

We envision the By the Sea Ministry Center as a landing place for all of it.

A place where prayer is continually cultivated, where worship is a way of life, and where people are welcomed into a community that extends far beyond the walls of a building.

As we travel and minister in different places, our heart is that those who become part of the By the Sea family will have a place to connect, grow, and belong.
Not because there's always something happening on the calendar.
But because there is a place prepared for them.
A place to encounter His presence, receive refreshing, and find family.

One heartbeat. Many expressions.
We envision a place where every room serves a greater purpose: making room for the presence of God and creating opportunities for His people to be refreshed.
From quiet corners of prayer to tables filled with conversation, from resources that strengthen faith to spaces where worship rises, every detail is being dreamed of with intentionality.
Take a glimpse into what we're believing for.

A Place to Be Still
The Prayer & Worship Spaces
A place set apart for the presence of God. Where the doors are open, the atmosphere is prayerful, and there's room to simply sit at His feet.
Whether someone comes to worship, intercede, weep, listen, or rest, our prayer is that they would find a place of refreshing in His presence.
No scheduled event required. Just room for Him.

A Place at the Table
The Coffee Shop & Gathering Spaces
There's something beautiful about what happens when people gather around a table.
We envision a welcoming space where the coffee is warm, conversations are meaningful, and relationships are built. A place to find friendship, encouragement, and genuine connection with the growing By the Sea family.
Because sometimes refreshing comes through the people God places beside us.
A Place to Be Nourished
The Resource Library & Bookstore
A place where the hungry can find something to feed their spirit.
We envision shelves filled with biblical resources, books, studies, and tools that help believers grow in their understanding of the Word and walk more deeply with Jesus.
Whether someone is searching for answers, encouragement, or their next step in faith, we want them to find resources that point them back to Him.

A Place to Grow
Discipleship & Equipping Spaces
While the heart of the Ministry Center is a place of refreshing, we also envision opportunities for believers to be rooted and strengthened in the Word.
Through biblical teaching, discipleship gatherings, mentorship, and equipping opportunities, these spaces would help believers grow in maturity and confidence as they walk with Jesus.
Not simply gathering information, but being transformed by truth.

A Place to Carry the Sound
The Media & Creative Spaces
What happens within these walls was never meant to stay within them.
We envision creative spaces where podcasts, biblical studies, teachings, and other ministry resources can be developed and shared with people around the world.
As By the Sea continues traveling and ministering across the nations, this center would serve as a home base for the message and a place of connection for the family growing around it.
Because the vision has always been bigger than a building.

The By the Sea Ministry Center is a vision we are prayerfully carrying, trusting the Lord to establish it in His timing and according to His purposes.

While we don't yet know every detail of how this will unfold, we know the heart behind it.
We long to see a place established where the presence of God is treasured, the weary find refreshing, the hungry are nourished, and a growing family of believers finds a place to belong.
And until those doors open, we will continue faithfully serving, gathering, praying, and carrying the message wherever He sends us.

Would you join us in praying for what is to come?
Pray for wisdom. For provision. For the right people and partnerships. And most of all, that everything established through this ministry would be marked by His presence.
If the Lord places it on your heart to help carry this vision, we'd be honored to have you alongside us.
Wake the Church. Revive the Nations.
