LIFE CHURCH OPEN NETWORK (MEMBER)

We belong to and partner with LCON for sermon series resources and materials. This partnership allows churches of all sizes to be fiscally responsible and utilize specialized expertise that otherwise would not be financially feasible for smaller congregations and ministers. LCON believes that we can do infinitely more together than apart, and they've partnered with other ministries that share this belief to bring even more free resources to LCON. Resource partners include ECFA, Willow Creek, Hillsong, Sports Spectrum, and many more. 

Coastal Fellowship Church understands and values the trust and confidence placed in our hands with each financial gift given. Working collaboratively with LCON allows us to go farther with our finances and make a wider impact through video, graphic design, supplemental resources and social media.
