My wife and I tried to start an evening Bible study at Our Lady, but even though we weren't asking for any compensation, we got resistance so we approached Father Morgan who was happy to have us facilitate bible studies at St. Andrew. We have now been doing them for three years. I've joined the Knights of Columbus who a tremendous amount of charity and good will.

I have been to churches all over the country, and the friendliness and kindness here is unparalleled. This in no way takes away from the preaching.

The bold, witness that the preacher and his family project inspires each attendee to focus on Jesus and what He did for each of us on the cross, and reject the corrupt values this world pressures us to join. Thank you.

There was a female pastor (so called) who espoused liberal views in the sermon. It was apparent that social justice was paramount and that tolerance was the highest virtue. The gospel, the teaching that Jesus Christ came to save sinners, was absent. In it's place, the scripture was only presented as a guidebook for moral living passed along by a God formed in our image. It was sad to experience, but also enlightening, as I had only heard of (never actually witnessed) this type of messaging from a church. It also led to some good personal analysis and discussions with my children regarding a biblical view of homosexuality, a woman's role in church leadership, the importance of faithfully exegeted the scriptures, and the sad state of many churches today in which the listeners "will not tolerate sounds doctrine" (2 Tim 4:3). I am rating this "okay" not because I would give my support to the messaging but because of the opportunities given to clarify what we know to be true. For that, I am thankful. If you are looking for a standard biblically sound message on a Sunday morning by the ocean, have your thinking cap on and use discernment when joining this crowd.

I've…read morealready seen the World's Smallest Church in Winslow Arizona and the Smallest Church in America in South Newport Georgia, so this was of interest. (They're in my "Superlatives" collection.) Built in 1972 by Rev. Emory Young and volunteers, the chapel was inspired by a similar roadside church spotted in Washington state. Chiropractor Dr. Gaylord Kelly helped fund the project, and local businesses and churches pitched in. The result is a 12-by-24-foot structure with six petite pews that seat just twelve people. Despite its size, it's one of the smallest churches in America and has hosted hundreds of weddings over the decades. Inside, I found a narrow aisle, a guest book for prayers, and a quiet, welcoming atmosphere. The chapel has weathered storms, vandalism, and even Hurricane Matthew, thanks to the care of volunteers and passersby. Located just off Highway 501, it's easy to miss but worth the stop. It was a quick in-and-out today. A volunteer was here, probably keeping an eye on it on a Sunday morning. I didn't stay long. They do accept donations but I didn't spot a donation box.

One, held on the west side of the island, is held by Shallotte Presbyterian Church. It needs to be mentioned that this is a PCUSA. And is it ever! My family has attended this one for years, as the messages were relatively predicable, being Bible centered in nature. In the post covid years, there was a significant shift away from the gospel to social issues. The pro LGBTQ+, pro women's lib, social gospel, pro tolerance of all things messaging was on full display. We finally had enough. This year we attended the Ocean Isle Beach Chapel beach service held close to the pier. There was no wasted time. The speaker was introduced and proceeded to preach for almost 45 minutes. He was a passionate and competent speaker who preached Jesus as our greatest need, and even closed with an alter call. It was apparent that he was a conservative on social issues. I was thankful for the alternative.
