    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'm a lifelong practicing Catholic, and I still attend mass on a regular basis. But the Lord's…read moreword is universal and I often enjoy the fellowship of those who gather in other Christian denominations. 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.

    "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God…read moregoes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." ~Deuteronomy 31:6 - God is merciful! 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.

    My family has been attending Apostles for about nine months and we love it here for many reason!…read moreFirst of all, as a mama I really appreciate the love and care that Ashley, the children's director, has put into planning the nursery, and I look forward to having my little one be a part of the children's programming as he grows older. As an Anglican, I love celebrating together each week with the liturgy, prayers and Eucharist. Father John and Father Scott are wonderful, warm people who have such a depth of knowledge about church history and love of the scripture. Chad and the music team do a beautiful job blending contemporary music and traditional Christian hymns, and it's my humble opinion that our music is probably some of the best around. Finally, maybe most improbably, the community of people here are incredibly warm and welcoming. We felt right at home shortly after arriving and have really enjoyed getting to know the community. After a season of spiritual dryness, Apostles has been a refreshing and encouraging place to land.

    From the owner: At Apostles By-the-Sea we're convinced that life with Jesus is better than any other kind of life…read more Everything we do as a church, we do because we love Jesus. It's our privilege to worship him as our Lord and Savior while sharing with everyone we can the love, joy, and peace that comes from knowing him. Join us as we seek to Worship God, Love One Another, and Unleash Heaven everywhere we go!
