Kevin Harney

Shoreline Community Church 2500 Garden Road, Monterey (831) 655-0100, shoreline.church

There’s a lot of life in this church on the hill. There’s a kids’ ministry, and a First Wednesday evening service with an inexpensive dinner on offer, and military outreach, and mom outreach and despite the size of this wildly popular (and still growing) church, they consider themselves a community church. And at the helm is Kevin Harney, the snowboard-loving, Fuller Theological Seminary-trained lead pastor, who nurtures the church’s organic outreach mission, writes and publishes books along with his wife, Sherry, and keeps his eye on the prize – the prize being how to worship God in a warm, welcoming and inclusive way.
