Description

Company Description

Mariners Church is a biblically-centered, non-denominational church located in Southern California focused on inspiring people to follow Jesus and fearlessly change the world.

Mariners is listed as one of the top 20 largest churches in America by Outreach Magazine. We are a community of ordinary people from all walks of life courageously trusting God to do the extraordinary. Simply put, we trust God to do what we can't—heal, transform, renew, forgive, provide and sustain.

Through the redemption story of each believer, God is glorified, lives are changed and communities are impacted in a significant way.
