ABOUT US

SouthShore Apostolic Mission Statement
Until Everyone Knows Jesus.
Everyone in the city of SouthShore, Ruskin (and beyond) needs to have an encounter with Jesus! Not just knowing about him or hearing about him, but an intimate encounter with the living God. We believe that the local church is God’s plan to equip and send out everyday missionaries into our schools, neighborhoods, offices, and social settings to be a representative of Jesus in every one of our corners. Everyone is invited, and no one is left the same after getting to know God’s incredible, life transforming love.

Senior Pastors/Elders


In 1984, Senior Pastor Johnny Cook and his wife laid the foundation of our church, and in 1992, they expanded it with the fellowship hall. Their journey began in 1977 after working in a children's home, when they answered the call to come to Ruskin, laying the groundwork for our community's spiritual home.
Services started out of a mobile home in 1978, and they welcomed their first converts just a month later, two young men from the neighborhood, sent by their mother to see what the fuss was about.
It's a story of dedication, faith, and the transformative power of community.
