ABOUT US
Our Sunday Worship is a faith-filled celebration of God’s goodness! Live music, practical insights from God’s Word, and the opportunity to receive prayer all take place during our time together. Following music children, preschool through 5th grade, are released to Waveside Kids where they learn about God’s love through engaging lessons and activities. On the second Sunday of every month our middle and high school students meet up following music with Waveside Youth to build friendships and deepen their relationship with Jesus. It all gets underway at 10:10AM at the Malibu Elementary School and YOU are invited!
*Due to a new school policy the front parking lot will only be accessible from 9:45AM-10:10AM. If you arrive before or after that time frame parking is still available along Fernhill and Grayfox Drives. We apologize for this inconvenience.

PASTORS
Dave and Laura Dowler
Dave and Laura have a passion for people to encounter the freedom and restoring power of God in every facet of their lives. Following university studies and Dave’s various musical endeavors, the Dowlers’ journey led them to serve in leadership capacities within the local church. As part of Church leadership, Laura began leading groups of women out of bondage from traumatic life events into the same freedom she experienced from anorexia and post-abortion trauma. As a part of this ministry, the Dowlers co-authored “Reality Revealed,” a road map to lead people out of trauma into the freedom only Jesus can provide. These formative years in local church ministry became the foundation for pioneering Waveside in 2008.
We desire to equip and dispatch culture-transformers with a passion for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. We welcome you to experience God’s unconditional love and restoring power within this family we call Waveside.
Church is not an institution, building or event. The local Church is a diverse Christ-centered community who worships Yahweh/God, does life together and anchors its trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ with the mission of encouraging others to do the same. – Pastor Dave
BELIEFS
The Bible is the only infallible, inspired Word of God, and its authority is ultimate, final, and eternal. The Bible is the source of all doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof. It contains all that is needed for guidance in godliness and practical Christian conduct.
There is one God who is the Creator of all things and is eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each of us are created in God’s image, but are separated from God by sin. Our only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus was born fully human and fully divine, conceived of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary. He suffered and was crucified to pay the price for our sins and to undo the works of the devil.
Salvation and forgiveness of sins is only received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and our eternal destination is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ. Divine healing; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual is included in the atonement of Christ.
Holy Spirit empowers the saints for service and witness, cleanses man from the old nature and conforms us to the image of Christ. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, subsequent to conversion, releases the fullness of the Spirit and is evidenced by the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
