It was originally formed after a hurricane destroyed three churches (Baptist, Catholic, Methodist) in the 1930s. Forming together after the disaster the churches decided to build ONE church for the community. The first official service was held on October 8, 1950 in the original chapel, built by its members. The church has been faithfully serving the community ever since and has grown to include a vibrant ministries to the community and a DCF preschool which is top-notch. Highly recommend it for all ages!

The Chapel at Seaside is quite extraordinary, and Jesus is there…read more The Chapel structure is a beach chic motif and architecturally stunning. The music is superb too. The first song at the Christmas Eve service was what seemed to be a hip, boho version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" with a violin and a guitar, and it was fabulous. The spellbinding message was captivating too. Andrew Beard, the pastor, is an eloquent, spellbinding speaker who masterfully weaves together real life and scripture. After the service, I misplaced my phone, so I went back to the church to see if I left it there. The person I happened to ask about it was Sarah Beard, the pastor's wife, and she immediately stopped what she was doing to help me. My phone didn't turn up at the church building, so she offered to call my number and walk outside to my car with me to see if we could find it, and we did find it. Sarah did not have to help me, but she did! That was just "wow to me, and her humility and servant heart speaks to her Christlike character. She reminded me that there are Christlike people among us in this dark world. Thanks to the Beards for being Jesus to me on Christmas Eve! Jesus is alive and well in Seaside! - "'Putting on Christ'...is not one among many jobs a Christian has to do; and it is not a sort of special exercise for the top class. It is the whole of Christianity. Christianity offers nothing else at all." ~C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity "Christlikeness is your eventual destination, but your journey will last a lifetime." ~Rick Warren -

Great worship service right on the grounds of Seaside. My husband and I attended the Candlelight…read moreChristmas Eve service a year ago and so enjoyed Pastor Wingo. So glad our vacation included a Sunday so we could attend a service here today, the Sunday before July 4th. Pastor Wingo brought a message on freedom, "Highway to Eternity: Fear to Freedom!". Scripture verse was Psalm 119:45, "I will walk about in FREEDOM, for I have sought out your precepts." A great message and a church that is nondenominational and has a heart for missions. The Sunday service is at 10 a.m. The sign says "Come as you are" so casual attire is welcomed! The chapel is an architectural beauty set within the trees on the back part of Seaside. Don't miss attending a service if your vacation includes a Sunday!

I don't recommend this church to anyone who likes to keep their babies with them during service.

He asked me to step out and said my only option was childcare or watch the service from the other room. This raises many red flags and is a huge problem in churches today, not only for children but people with distracting disabilities as well. Glad it happened early on so that I didn't waste any more time at this church.

My children were all raised in the same light, so when they're visiting home (and the weather is good)....we often choose to grab our beach chairs early on Sunday mornings, and enjoy listening to the Word of God on the beautiful sands of our Emerald Coast.

How do I know? I was angry with him, and I kinda called him out. And being god, he could have taken me out, but he didn't. Instead, he snuck up on me. In the midst of my anger with him, I decided to go to beach church again - now that it's back. But I didn't expect much. Going last Sunday felt like more of an obligation than a desire. But I went anyway. Church bulletin in hand, I sat my beach chair away from everyone - in the white sand. I didn't want to be near or talk to those people. And as the worship leader sang, I didn't sing along. I was here out of obligation, not desire And as the preacher began to speak, I looked at the bulletin for the first time, and a chill ran down my spine. Why the chill? The message was about having confidence in god - right in the midst of me losing confidence in him. I didn't see that coming. But surprised, I listened, and it seemed that god was talking only to me. And I cried! Good thing I sat off by myself. Thank you, god, for your tender mercy with me and reminding me that you are near. And thanks to Hope on the Beach Church for being god's mouthpiece that day.
