Our Response to Social Issues and COVID-19
Response to Earthquakes in Turkey & Syria
Our response to the devastating earthquakes that have affected cities and communities in Turkey/Syria includes:
- Corporate Prayer
As a church we will continue to stand and pray with thousands around the world and believe for healing, unity and recovery for the many people who were affected.
- Partner with Samaritan’s Purse:
Samaritan’s Purse has sent scores of disaster relief specialists, including doctors and nurses, to address critical needs in areas leveled by recent earthquakes. Their teams will also be bringing urgently needed items, such as tarps, blankets, and solar lights, into the hardest-hit areas. Between the hospital and other efforts, they will have around 100 Disaster Assistance Response Team specialists on the ground.

In-Person Gatherings
Update to the Provincial Mask & Vaccine Mandate
We are fully open on Sundays at all our locations at 100% capacity! Face coverings will be optional for people at all our campuses. Some people may choose to continue wearing a mask and others will worship freely without a face covering. Either way we anticipate our time together!For all our campus locations and Sunday Service times, please visit: coastalchurch.org/locations
Ukraine Relief & Support
Coastal Church has partnered with Livets Ord (Word of Life) Church in Uppsala, Sweden with financial aid to Ukraine. We have sent over $175,000 in response to your generous giving. The update is:
- A huge THANK YOU for standing together with them both in prayer and financial support
- Our giving has gone towards purchasing mini vans, filled with donated pharmaceutical supplies and life necessities. The supplies are left with doctors, with the vans navigating out of the country with refugees. Let’s continue to give out of our abundance to those who are in need during this time and pray for those on the front lines.
HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS
1. Pray that the light of Jesus will pierce through the darkness of this horrible tragedy.
2. Support the refugee centers
- $50 has provided 10 warm, cozy blankets to families affected by conflict
- $100 has helped supply a month’s worth of nutritious food to a family in crisis
- $175 provides five families with emergency shelter materials
3. An Exit Fund
At the moment it is challenging to get people out of the country. In any case, we want to be prepared for this and for when people are able to leave as refugees from Ukraine.
When this happens, we want to take them to Poland, where they can be directly connected to our local churches. There, they will be welcomed and loved.
Estimated costs are still unclear.
Any funds given for this purpose will be held in the Fund and used directly for this purpose when the borders open up.
THANK YOU! When you give, you’re helping these people to survive in one of the most hostile environments in the world right now. Thank you so much for your desire to help!

Help reduce your risk of infection:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Using soap and water is the single most effective way of reducing the spread of infection.
- If a sink is not available, alcohol based hand rubs (ABHR) can be used to clean your hands as long as they are not visibly soiled. If they are visibly soiled, use a wipe and then ABHR to effectively clean them.
- Do not touch your face, eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a disposable tissue or the crease of your elbow when you sneeze or cough.
- Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
- Do not share food, drinks, utensils, etc.
