Rock the Beach

June 22, 2010

This Sunday evening, June 27th, was our scheduled Beachside at the Beach night. However, due to the current oil spill crisis, Okaloosa County has scheduled a last minute concert at the same time and location as our event to promote tourism in our community. Therefore, we would like to encourage you to support our community and enjoy a great FREE concert by the Doobie Brothers and Kenny Loggins at 5:00 pm at the Boardwalk on Okaloosa Island. We will reschedule our beach event at a later date.

So, instead of an official Beachside beach day, let’s Rock the Beach!

And don’t forget about part 2 of Everybody. Everybody’s Included Sunday at 10:30am.

Night of Worship – this Saturday

June 2, 2010

Because of the strategy we have here at Beachside, there are some things we don’t get to do in our weekly Sunday worship service. Our Sunday service is what we call a Foyer environment, and foyer environments are made with our guests in mind. So, a few times a year we schedule a Night of Worship. This is a time for us to have an extended time of worship through songs and communion together. We had one last year and another back in January. Now our next Night of Worship is this Saturday!

So, join us this Saturday for a Night of Worship. This is an opportunity to celebrate our Savior as we sing songs and share in communion together. We have an incredible night planned with Casey Darnell and the Bigstuf Band leading our worship. This is a family event. No childcare will be provided.

And if you are on Facebook, don’t forget to check out (and ‘Like’) our Beachside page and use our Night of Worship event page to invite your friends.

Sarah Canterbury Joins the Beachside Team

May 13, 2010

We have great news! Kim Neel has done an amazing job of creating  our Family Ministry environments here at Beachside, but she recently decided it was time to step back from her staff role and find a new role as a Beachside volunteer. So, as usual, God has provided in an incredible way! I want to introduce you to Sarah Canterbury and her husband Ryan. Sarah is now the newest member of our team of Beachside staff, and she will be serving as our new Children’s Director. Rather than me telling you about her why don’t we ask Sarah some questions:

Q: Tell us a little about Sarah Canterbury. Where are you from, where have you been living, are you married, kids, etc…? Read more

He’s Still* Got the Whole World in His Hands

March 19, 2009

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been struggling lately. I’ve been struggling with confusion and uncertainty. What is the next step in my life? Will I be able to pay all my bills? Will I be able to get an apartment or buy a house anytime soon? Economic times are really rough right now. Searching for a job that will provide enough money for my wife and me has been a long and strenuous process and it isn’t over yet. I don’t know how all this is going to turn out. Have we faced the worst of it? I sure hope so.

So how do I respond to all this uncertainty? Read more
