Sound City Bible Church is a regional church, which means we have Covenant Members and attenders from all around the north Puget Sound region. However, our church gathers for worship in the city of Shoreline. To be even more specific, our church gathers for worship in a Shoreline School District facility. Because of that, we want to be a blessing to the district, and especially to those families who may be in need of support. Generosity is a great way to share the love of Jesus with our neighbors in the Shoreline area. As we begin to think about students heading back to school (already?!), we are excited to partner with The Back To School Consortium, an organization which provides supplies to students in the Shoreline School District to outfit them before the school year begins.
