Welcome to Gulf Beach
Presbyterian Church! We are delighted to have you visit the
"little spot on the internet" that represents our church!
Our church family is known for its faithfulness to the work of our
Lord and for its genuine friendship expressed through its caring and
support of all people. We hope you sense those feelings here, as you
browse our homepage.
Gulf
Beach Presbyterian Church is a warm, caring Christian family
who gathers regularly for worship, fellowship and service. It is a
church with a short but proud history of service in the name of Jesus
Christ to the Panama City Beach, Florida community.
Gulf
Beach Presbyterian Church is one of the most unique churches in
the Presbyterian denomination for it has three distinct seasons or
communities of participants which strongly affect its life and work.
We have a year-round membership of approximately 150, and are pleased
to see that number continually grow. This group carries out the
year-round programs and member care. A second season sees a major
increase in our membership and runs from December through March. This
is a time when couples and singles from colder abodes, and those who
appreciate our pleasant, temperate climate, come to spend a few weeks
or months in our company. During this time our programs expand and we
hold two worship services which average 450 participants. A third
season or community occurs in the summer, when we have a small number
of one week visitors -- those who come to our beaches for vacation,
and who come to our church to worship our Lord. During this season
many of our members are very busy in the resort business. A dedicated
smaller group carries on the vital ministries of our church.
We
are located in Panama City Beach
on the panhandle of Florida, a block from the Gulf coast. Our beaches
are referred to as the "world's most beautiful beaches"
because of their white "sugar" sand. Our area is a family
vacation spot. To find us come to the south end of Florida State
Highway 79, between Front Beach and Back Beach roads. We are a church
which celebrates its past, and looks eagerly forward to our future. We
hope you will become a part of our family...whether by enjoying our
"little spot on the internet" or, hopefully, by visiting us
when you are in the area. Please be sure to sign our guest book before
you leave!
Peace!
